Managing Your Project Links

By Mitch "Mr. Organization" Keeler

There is no doubt that when you sign on the dotted line and get your hosting plan of any type, shape or size (you know, we do that sort of thing here at Lunarpages web hosting) you are given a lot of links to keep track of.  You have the link to your customer account page, to your own domain, to manage your domains.  Now the Customer Account Page does a good job for most at centralizing all your Lunarpages goodies but I thought I would share my way of doing things.

In your browser’s bookmarks make a folder named projects and a folder named admin.  In the projects folder I want you to create a new folder for each domain you are hosting.  Inside of this folder you would put all the links you want quick reference to (such as actual domain links, cPanel links, stats and more).  It should look something like this:

Projects Folder

     YourDomain1.com Folder

           – Control Panel Link

           – Actual Domain Link

           – Stats

Now if you put all the important links by domain inside of the projects folder then what is the admin folder for?  This would be for the domain links that you use the most.  For an example, if you installed WordPress you would be logging in there more often than cPanel, right? Just fill this folder with links for the admin interface for the scripts you have installed on your hosting account.  Here is an example of that:

Admin Folder

     – YourDomain1.com WordPress Admin

     – Your2ndDomain.com SMF Admin Screen

Then you can go on and on from there.  What organizational tips do you use to manage your own web site links?  I’d love to hear them if you have any that are really unique.
