"Best GUI comparing to any other control panels"
What do you like best about cPanel?

In cpanel, mostly use of file manager and database which is very easy and nice GUI provided in CPanel that i like most. Otherthen, one more thing i like most that is i think not provided in any other control panel that is : while any user ( we have given temporary access ) try to upload shell script then CPanel will not allow to upload it. I think i like that most as a security view.Third point is that it provide very easy solution to install SSL certificates.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

When i am using JIO internet then sometimes it logouts me with error : "Your IP has been changed", even if i have not restarted JIO route / not changed IP.

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

CPanel is mostly used to make site live. My 99% ( except 1-2 ) clients providing me CPanel. It's very easy to upload site because it provides to upload whole ZIP file format and allow to extract online with larger amount.

I do not dislike in any way this panel, all its functionality is understandable and easy solution, if at any time I present any irregularity have a group of technical support guarantor of excellent response to its users.

With cpanel I can solve for the sale of hosting or plans of resellers because they have these configurable attributes, so I can sell hosting to my clients without nececidad to find out that I am a client of a hosting provider.

"Have 100% control of your server with Cpanel"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Cpanel, is the most complete solution to have control of your server, I have been working with Hosting panels for years, I have gone through plesk, webuzo, vestacp, but none gave me the peace of mind that Cpanel provides me, at the graphic interface level, it is super instiutive and very simple. From Cpanel I like how easy it is to create an account, as well as create the packages. the handling of the reseller accounts and the assignment of permits is really good. I like the way Cpanel has been protecting our servers in relation to spam. its way of limiting the amount of emails sent by email accounts is extraordinary. Its control panel is totally responsive and that allows me even when I'm out of my office to access from my smart phone and manage all the options that the Cpanel control panel gives me. but it is extraordinary is even the technical support that I receive via ticket when I ask you a question about any indole in relation to Cpanel

What do you dislike about cPanel?

- They must create additional security solutions to CpHulk. - They must create their own Firewall so that we Cpanel users do not look for additional solutions, which may bring future problems of compatibility with Cpanel. -They must create a Wordpress solution.

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

-It gives me peace of mind because my users are used to a single control panel. - I have trust in Cpanel since they correct the Bugs in record time, which transforms into a headache for my company. - I get automation easily with my customer control panel.

"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

"Dedicated Servers with cPanel"
What do you like best about cPanel?

cPanel makes setting up and administrating a dedicated server much easier, it offers a dedicated GUI for every setting imaginable. DNS, Webmail, versioned PHP, and much more are all at your fingertips.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

I would have to say there is a steep curve for learning to administrate cPanel safely and securely. The extensive documentation definitely helps though.

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

One of the main problems that have been solved is that we no longer have to walk clients through adjusting their various settings through the CLI or spend hours setting up each clients account. Nearly everything is already automated or there is an easily findable script for it.

"cPanel is a great tool for a person that wants to start the project without a lot of configuration"
What do you like best about cPanel?

The ease of use for inexperienced administrators of the websites. Most of the tasks can be done in a few clicks and only a higher level developer might need something out of the scope of the cPanel.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

cPanel is clearly the best out in the field when compared to its competitors so it's hard to tell what is missing. Yet some pre-installed SEO tools or testing applications wouldn't harm. I would like to see that implemented in the future.

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

You can easily do all of the configuration for the customer as a WEB developer. You can develop a website and post it to production for the customer without any or only little actions from their side. You can implement cPanel as a hosting control panel into the server if you're a hosting provider.
