cPanel Reviews & Product Details

The statistics and web builder templates are sufficient, you can even use wordpress. The storage amounts and bandwidth is up to par. It is not too expensive. It is a sophisticated tool for managing domains. The cyber security / security features are good. Other hosting sites could not handle the high volume of traffic that cpanel could handle.

The webmail interface needs a huge makeover. The user interface on the e-mail client is terrible. Mobile interface and app needs help as well. Not super easy to use.

I am able to maintain a professional image through my websites and domains. I am more independent using Cpanel and have more control over all webmaster functions.

Very user friendly interface and cusotmer service

had difficulty transferring domain between accounts

helping us with hosting our website

Everything! I've been using cPanel based hosting for my whole career and, once you add a modern skin to it, it's ideal and easy to use. Hosting providers have found ways to customise it and features of their own, technology's like Let's Encrypt's free SSL solutions have been easily integrated. It's a wonderful catch all and expandable solution to manage everything from hosting - from quick software installs via Fantastico and Softaculous to managing more complex things like DNS/MX records or jumping into a SQL database for some manual alterations. cPanel has really managed it all over the years.

In 2019 cPanel was bought by an investment firm, Oakley Capital. They proceeded to massively increase the price that they charge hosting companies for each installation of cPanel - it can work out to a 1000% prise rise. So far the hosts I used have absorbed this cost but it's not sustainable. Other hosts like SiteGround have dumped cPanel are going to the effort of creating their own proprietary hosting dashboards from scratch - a noble goal but one that will create fragmentation and make it harder just to easily migrate hosting by moving a whole cPanel backup. Forget Plesk as an alternative, the same price gouging investment company owns them too. It would be great to see hosts worldwide pool their resources and move to a "Linus organisation style" free and open source alternative. Some already exist but the don't have sufficient weight behind them to take them to the next level.

I can't remember a time before cPanel! I'm quite sure that I've been using it for my whole career and I've always looked for web hosting that has cPanel support. Sadly that now has to change.

I like Cpanel's easy (for average users) interface, but I use it only for those clients that demand it, and are prepared to pay for it. I don't use it myself as I use a similar product which is free.

One major peeve I have with Cpanel is that average users cannot easily migrate servers because you need WHM access for that, which most average user's don't have. But I don't really mind as it gets me some side business of Cpanel server migration.

Cpanel is used by my clients and I can easily manage their servers.

Not sure if I like anything about CP. It literally aches me navigating the menus, and without technical knowledge you'll probably break something. The login is spunky, but that's just about it. Part of my job is managing "corporate" email accounts and cpanel doesn't make it fun, I feel like visiting a webpage to do X will break Y if you try to visit Y before completing a Z action. A big 'old roundabout. Eugh.

Can't login to cpanel from bluehost, have to visit my bluehost webmail URL directly to login. The options for mailbox types are only two, both look hideous and gives me an eye sore. You must have used another email service in the past for a long time to know where to find settings and set your custom options. Always ask for default inbox type even though mine is already set. Anti-spam is weak, MS Outlook is much better. I could literally roast this program all day. I get that it comes with cpanel/bluehost but there is NOTHING advanced about it. I've come to appreciate Gmail and Outlook more now after having to face cpanel and cpanel webmail.

Managing client site, checking webmail accounts. I avoid it for anything else.

There was very little I liked about cPanel. If there was something I would say positive about them is that they platform is price conservative which suits business owners who are on a budget.

cPanels usability, interface, scalability and functionality was extremely lacking and dated.

cPanel helped my client get started with having an online presence due to price however it was difficult to use and had a dated interface.

The Cpanel is the most usable Control Panel in the industry and it is mostly easy to use for our clients and it also provides us much convenient server management but it has no security feature and we have to buy cloudlinux separately for the cagefs services so I do not like why to pay for cpanel if no client isolation is available . Cpanel has builtin reseller panel for resellers so I can resell the servers to many clients.The client can start his own webhosting company from reseller and can do his own business without any fear or loss of investmenet and completely white labeled

The Cpanel increased the prices too much and started charging on basis of the number of account which is so painful and expensive to webhosting companies like us so it urged us to move from cpanel to anyother platform so I moved the CWP pro platform and cwppro only cost me $12 per year and give me same type of control panel

The cpanel was much easier to use for my users and webdevs so I liked that as it provides filemanges and other things

I appreciate that it makes web admin duties easy and automated for beginners

What I dislike is that it blocks everything you would do form the terminal. I can’t do my job anymore because cOanel and WHM are in control!

My boss was using it when he was the only person to work on his VPS because he is not really a tech person

Not much. This software is hard for me to use. Nothing is where I expect it to be and I waste a lot of time just looking for things.

Its customer service support isn't very good, either. Takes days to resolve the most mundane issues.

This is email software and I email through it. Being able to communicate is a benefit.
