"Powerful Tools and very easy to use"
What do you like best about cPanel?

cPanel has an amazing catalog of features, and its interface is divided very well into particular branches (Security, E-Mail, Domain, DNS, etc.), which makes it very easy to use and understand. From one place, without any more clicks, I can guide to everything my domain and website affects.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Actually nothing. I never had a single issue navigating through cPanel, finding settings or change things accordingly to my needs. The only thing I could possibly think of would possibly a redesign in the near future to make it look a little bit more modern.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

cPanel slims down the need of clicks. Everything is in one place, easily and readily accessible for a domain owner. It's also very easy to install, re-install or modify CMSs.

"Dashboard for linux based web hosting"
What do you like best about cPanel?

cPanel has a very user-friendly interface that everyone already familiar, No doubt it is the most feature-full control panel for linux based web hosting environments. Very easy to connect with billing platforms such as WHMCS and provides user-friendly options to create and manage everything on that account.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Even it has a friendly user interface, With some limitations in the User interface, some customizations need to be done by a professional or an expert. Also, would like to see cloud storage platform support for backup data.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use cPanel to host websites in Linux based environments and to manage accounts and features.

"Dashboard for the customer"
What do you like best about cPanel?

We heavily use cPanel to manage web hosting accounts in our company. Simple because it is the customer's choice, customers are so in love with the dashboard and features cPanel provides.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

I would like to see the much-awaited NGINX support very soon on the cPanel. With NGINX support cPanel would be the dashboard that no one can say NO.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

cPanel is used to manage features for website hosting customers. UI and the pricing plans are the most recent for this attraction.

"Web Hosting Manager is the only way to go for Linux servers."
What do you like best about cPanel?

WHM aka Web Host Manager is THE best addition to CPANEL to help operate your hosting/server account. There are other variances of CPANEL/WHM that come close but none can match WHM. The features and open availability to add more as you grow is one of the best features I love about it. The other reason I love WHM is due to cost. It is cost effective for anyone running a new server or starting a new business. A+++++++!

What do you dislike about cPanel?

I wish there were more webmail choices. I have used Cpanel/WHM for over 10 years and have always wished they would add more mail options. But you learn to work with what is included and make the best of it. There's really only one other thing I dislike and that is some of the compatibility issues. There's some software that works on Windows servers but does not work on Linux and I wish there was a way to change that , but that's really all I dislike about it.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time is the biggest. WHM makes things that would normally be time-consuming, much much faster. It streamlines the rest of what you're working on and it all kind of falls into place, but much quicker. The other problem we are solving is saving money by purchasing WHM. There are alternative solutions but they cost much more than this software and may or may not have similar features. Lastly, Ease of use is a definite solution to many problems, especially with inexperienced staff. Most novice users have caught onto WHM and it's features really quickly. Very easy to learn!

"The best control panel of Hosting"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Cpanel really is a good hosting control panel, it is always correcting all the bugs that users report, every week I always see important updates and implementing software in the best way. Your support team through your ticket system is really good.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

- They must improve additional security system and not create independent software to charge more money. Case for example of Inmunify365 that belongs to cloud linux that in turn belongs to cpanel. - They must create their own tools for installing third-party software such as softaculous. - They must implement ngnix that does not have it yet.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Standardization in our servers with a single control panel - Our customers are happy with how easy and intuitive the panel is. - As the most popular panel, third-party software has created plugins for cpanel, providing us with a lot of work and support

"cPanel leads its space"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Having used several control panel software, cPanel wins hands down. It is easy to use, feature-rich, easy to update, and affordable.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

cPanel isn't free, if you can consider that a downside, if you have your own server

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm a web host and utilize WHM & cPanel to manage my sites. This saves me a tremendous amount of time and makes me confident that my sites are running properly.

"Best dashboard to manage linux servers"
What do you like best about cPanel?

One of the best dashboard out there to manage linux servers, has a very clean layout, super user friendly, WHM is for server administrators and cPanel is for end users who uses it every day. WHM is capable of customzing everything to our likings and cPanel loved by our customers. Very easy to setup, and the cPanel team is there always to help you out when you stuck. We have integrated it with WHMCS and it makes the billing side of it easy as well.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

If the price for mid-tieres can be lowered a bit that would benificatial to users.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Manage linux servers and provide an interface for end users to manage thiere portion of it.

"Easy Website and Server Management"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Helps us manage our websites and servers without running complex commands. We often need to tweak settings to be able to install our software product on a website and cpanel helps us to perform actions that can easily be done without the need of a technical person.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

While performing actions related to database like creating new database or adding a database user the panel takes a lot of time to go back to the previous page. This thing needs to be improved upon.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a software product company and our product gets installed on a server. Me and my team needs to install the product at least twice a week and we can easily do so with the help of cpnel without the need to contact DevOps team. We use features like uploading the file on server, creating/modifying database, setting up corn jobs with the help of cpanel. Also to troubleshoot the server cpanel offers a Terminal on which we can run Linux and laravel commands to interact with our server. Without cpanel it would be very difficult for me and my team to set up our product. We would need to be doing all things via commands and thus would have been a very steep learning which is cut short by cpanel

"A user friendly tool for backend domain and web management."
What do you like best about cPanel?

Its quick and user friendly. You can easily shift from any other platform and if you are new to backend web developemnt, cpanel stands as a good strating point.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Because of its siplicity, functions are limited and errors are sometimes overlooked. Navigating to the error log is like walking through a maze. File handling is also limited.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is running my website and my domain. the benefits are that I can run multiple domains on the same C-Panel login as I have bought them from the same hosting provider.
