The Bravenet account manager is our custom tool for managing all aspects of your account - everything from changing your password, to creating a new website, to managing your domains, along with many more tasks, can be accomplished from the account manager.

To access the account manager, you need to log in to your Bravenet account. If you do not have an account, it's easy to get one!

All the articles related to the account manager can be found in the account manager category page - check there for more detailed information about any of the options.

Sections

You can easily access any section using the navigation tabs on the top of the page. Make sure you're logged in, otherwise these options will not be available!

Account

This page provides an overview of your account - what websites you have, which tools you have registered, and your personal information is all listed here.

Key Features

  • You can renew your hosting package by selecting the Renew.PNG button. Above this button, the expiry date of your hosting package is shown.
  • To change your main account password, view your transaction history, or change your personal information, use the options on the right side of the page under the Account Information header.
  • You can quickly open individual websites in the Website manager by selecting it in the Web Hosting section of this page.
  • You can customize any webtools you have registered by selecting it in the Registered Web Tools section.
  • We often have special offers for our members listed on the right hand side of the page - take a look, see if you find anything that interests you!

Websites

This tab contains all the options you need to build and manage a website.

Key Features

  • Select Newweb.PNG to build a new website. This will guide you through the process of selecting a domain or subdomain and registering the site with us so that you can start working on it.
  • If you want to create a Frontpage site, make sure you use the Newfront.PNG option instead!
  • Websites you have already registered show up in the Manage Websites section of this page.
  • You can view a website you have created by clicking the "view" icon to the right of the website that you wish to view.
  • You can delete a website by selecting the "delete" icon to the right of the website you wish to delete. Be careful! This CAN NOT be reversed - you WILL lose all the files on that website!
  • To manage a specific site, select the "manage" icon for that website.

Website Manager

This is where you do most of the work of creating and maintaining your site. You can access the website manager for a website by clicking its name in the main Account tab, or by clicking the "manage" icon for that website on the Websites tab.

Key Features
  • You can manage your files on your website in one of three ways on this page - with the file manager, with the FTP Applet, or through the text/visual editor.
  • New to web design? Try our website wizards, or build a site around our web templates!
  • You can view traffic statistics with the view statistics option.
  • If you need to make changes in how PHP is set up for your account, use the PHP Configuration option.
  • Select the "delete website" option to permanently delete your website. This is NOT reversible - be careful!
  • In some cases, you may need to know exactly where your website is on our servers (especially for PHP). Your storage path is listed at the bottom of this page.

Web Tools

We have dozens of web tools available for use on your websites. Most of these tools have both a free and a pro version. This tab is where you can manage your webtools - you can register any combination of web tools you wish here.

In addition, once you've registered a web tool, you can find more information on it and customize it to suit your website and your needs by selecting it out of the list.

Key Features

  • Register a web tool by selecting it from the "Unregistered Services" list.
  • Manage a registered tool by selecting it from the "Registered Web Tools" list. Find more information about each webtool at the webtools category page.
  • If you have the free version of a tool registered, you can upgrade by selecting the "upgrade" option in the service level column next to the tool name.
  • If you have a pro tool, and would like to renew it, select the "renew" option in the service level column.
