Introduction

This tutorial is intended to introduce the interface of the HostArmada Client Area (“Client Dashboard”). We have thoroughly developed our Client Area and included all the essential features needed for exceptional user experience. In the following lines, you will learn how to easily navigate through it and efficiently manage your information, payments, services and internal communication with our team.

Home Page Overview

The Home Page of your Client Area presents at-a-glance information about your services, domains, invoices and support tickets. Each dialog in the left section includes shortcuts for easy access to the corresponding page. We strive to keep our customers informed, therefore the right section displays all the latest news concerning them.

The section below contains dialog(s) representing each active hosting service that is currently being utilized with HostArmada. Each dialog displays the general information for the service, as well as shortcut buttons for direct access. Following the same order they are displayed as:

• Access Website
• Control Panel
• Manage Service
• Upgrade/Downgrade
• Request Cancellation

Under the bottom section, you will be able to review all Support Tickets in “Open” status as well as all due Invoices.

You will also notice two layered-navigation bars - at the top of the page and on the left-hand side. They consist of shortcut icons allowing easy access to specific sections containing different information.

Top Navigation Bar

The top bar contains a few icons followed by a dropdown menu. We will review and explain them following left-to-right order:

• Cart icon - This icon works as a shortcut to your shopping cart.

The arrow icon next to the greeting “Hello, Customer Name” message contains the following options structured in a drop-down menu:
