Exploring the Simplified Account Management Panel (AMP)

You will need to be logged into your AMP account in order to see each of these sections in your internet browser. If you need more information on logging into the Simplified Account Management Panel, then please see our tutorial on how to login to AMP.

The Menus in Account Management Panel

The first thing that you see when you login to the Account Management Panel (AMP) will be the menus that are at the top of the page. Here’s a screen shot of what they look like:

Each of the menu items described below provides access to different management features for your account. Here’s a breakdown of each menu section:

Menu Items

My Account

Here you can change the login and security to access your account. You can also change your Account contact information.

Your account subscriptions are also listed here and they include the options for managing each account. These options will also be available in the section(s) below.

Billing

The options provided within Billing include options that all apply to your hosting subscriptions. These options allow you review your subscription payments, manage your payment methods, view your payment history and set renewal reminders.

Domains

The Domains menu provides options to manage your domain, register a new domain and request domain transfers.

Marketplace

The Marketplace includes links that allow you to purchase a dedicated IP address, register new domains, subscribe to another hosting account, add hosting design services, or subscribe to other managed hosting options.

Specials

The Specials menu includes discount offers for advertising from different online companies.

Manage My Account and Subscription Sections

After the menu bar you will see two (or more) main sections divided by shaded rectangles with multiple icons representing the options available to manage your account. The first of these two sections is labeled Manage My Account. The next section(s) that follow depends on the number of subscriptions that you have in your account. The subscription options provided in each account are streamlined to show only three options. The rest are hidden under a link labeled Show Advanced Tools. Each subscription division is titled by the domain name and a user name in parentheses. Each menu item is summarized below.
