Video Tutorials

For Thumbtak Web Hosting clients' convenience, we have made over 40 movies explaining the functionality of each section of the Thumbtak Web Hosting Control Panel (CP).
Having read the texts explaining the functionality of each CP section located in Context Help, it is recommended that you visit the Video Tutorials section. This way you will be able to fully understand how the CP works.

Here is how you can find all Video Tutorials in the Thumbtak Web Hosting Control Panel:

  • Go to the members login page.

  • Log in using your username and password. (You have received your login information with the confirmation mail after you signed up for our services)

  • Having successfully logged into the Control Panel, mouse over the Support link in the top left corner of the navigation menu. A drop-down menu will be displayed with the following options: Help Center, View Open Tickets, View Closed Tickets and Video Tutorials. Click on Video Tutorials.

VIDEO TUTORIALS
A video tutorial is an animated presentation, which demonstrates what actions you must take to use a specific feature of the Control Panel.

To access Video Tutorials, mouse over the Support link in the top left corner of the navigation menu and click on the Video Tutorials link in the drop-down menu to see a page listing all available tutorials, then click on the name you are interested in.

The Tutorials open in a new page. Please note that at the bottom of each tutorial window, there are two helpful navigation elements:

  • a draggable progress bar, which allows you to go to a specific screen of the tutorial
  • rewind, back, play/pause, forward and exit buttons
