All web hosting accounts are managed via a Control Panel and no matter the brand of the latter, you can always find a File Manager tool, which enables you to browse the files that you've uploaded inside the web hosting account and to complete basic operations with them, such as moving, copying or deleting. Based on the specific tool, there may be more complex functions too, like management of permissions and archives. Some Control Panels are easier to use compared with others and so are their File Manager sections. Considering that that's the main tool you will use to handle your files, it is essential to check in advance what options it comes with and if it'll appeal to you, because a hard-to-use File Manager could be a burden and can make managing your web presence more challenging.
