not hard for you! thats why you're hired!

i honestly don't use cpanel or any admin controls that much. once in a very rare while, when i have to add an email address or ftp account or whatever, and... typically, once that stuff is set, it stays set. so, i have no preference whether its cpanel or anything else.
i'll start making backups of stuff. just shoot me an email and lemme know prices or prep-issues or whatever.
