"Cpanel - A web Hosting Conrol Panel Tool"
What do you like best about cPanel?

The best thing about Cpanel is that it is very easy to install and manage. Through Cpanel, we can easily maintain our large websites, and also we don't require any hardcore developer who is aware of Linux commands.So it saves our cost as well.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

In Cpanel, I didn't find anything that I disliked but just a small suggestion that in CPanel, you should add more UI themes as per current standard.

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

We are using Cpanel for our website Hosting management. It is very User friendly and easy to use.

"Many people can easily manage their website thanks to cPanel"
What do you like best about cPanel?

cPanel is used by almost all hosting services in Latin America, so its user community will always be ready to help you with questions. Its administration is simple and all its tools are ordered by function. I also like it because it reports if server resources are being exceeded, which is very useful to avoid crashes.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

I find it very expensive to be used personally. I believe that only companies can bear your monthly costs.

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

cPanel is the control panel used by the hosting service that we have contracted in the company and it greatly facilitates the management of files, email and backup copies. The most important thing is that the hosting service assumes the cost of its implementation and use, so we only pay the hosting service directly.

"Best hosting experience"
What do you like best about cPanel?

I have used a few of hosting services and so far I like cPanel the best. It doesn't over complicate things and keep them simple. Things are easy to find and do in cPanel as compared to other platforms like plesk or siteground. It has a lot of features to control your settings off the website and you can get access to most of the root configuration as well. It comes with an installation wizard to set up common applications such as wordpress, joomla, drupal, magento, ruby, etc. The UI is neat and also comes with a dark theme.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

While it is better than other platforms, it still feels like it can be optimized a bit further as long as file manager is concerned. Using the keyboard to navigate the file manager is not that smooth as navigating through the local file manager. The view does not automatically scroll when the highlighted item goes below or above the visible items on the screen. Uploading a file is a two step process. First go to the desired directory and then click on upload which will open a new tab where you can upload all the files. However in modern file manager applications you can just go to the desired directory and then drag and drop files over there directly. Integrating this feature could result in saving a lot of time.

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

With the help of cPanel, I can easily manage my multiple website hosted online. Adding a new domain and have it up and running barely takes minutes. File manager has a good screen size which allows a more efficient and easy way to navigate the folders. On other platforms the file manager feels a little bit congested.

"A standard in webhosting"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Support is fantastic. Most of the problems I have encountered have already been covered by someone else in the forums. If not cPanel support has always been very prompt about helping me directly on the server with the issue.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Pricing is based on the number of hosting accounts on the server. I would rather pay a per-server license and extra for support as needed.

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

Countless configuration and administration tasks are taken care of by WHM.

"cPanel makes managing a website simple and easy to carry out"
What do you like best about cPanel?

What I like the most about cPanel is that it provides real-time information about the number of website visitors. In addition, it allows me to easily manage emails and gives me the option to create forwarders or autoresponders. On the other hand, it also shows me information about disk usage.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

I have no negative experiences with cPanel. It is software that has no flaws and that has helped me in a great way to manage the emails of my organization.

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

cPanel allows me to create, modify, or delete website email addresses, as well as different interfaces for checking email messages. In addition, it allows me to keep track of the visitors that come to my website.

"Hosting framework with hassless options"
What do you like best about cPanel?

The best part of C Panel is the user interface and one click option to each demands for developer. Precisely, options to add domain, access file manager, phpmyadmin directory and oneclik installation of CMS packages. Also the clutter less Ui is a unique part that you can't find in DA panel or Plesk.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

CPanel has everything a developer needs. At the same time, there are bugs that irritate users sometimes, especially while switching between options. Above all, the more than cons, it has pros that many framework lacks today.

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

Through CPanel, I solved the demand of launching websites and accessing the controls of features associated with website. Above all, C panel solved my major demand of living website.

"C Panel is the no 1 Hosting management system"
What do you like best about cPanel?

C Panel is the lovely thing that is the complete solution for web hosting and management. The best things is that everything you need for managing your hosting is in a single place. More over there is a feature called Softaculous Apps which provides hundreds of free ready script you can directly implement in your hosting sites. I am sharing some scripts name provided by the Softaculous Apps : Wordpress, Joomla, Magento, Drupal, CRM,phpBB, Presta Shop and many more.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

I don't like the pricing of the products. C Panel License is higher. But quality and features is good.

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

I create basic websites from ready scripts like word press, magneto. I mange my hosting and files from the C Panel. I mange my subdomains, emails accounts , cron jobs, mange database using MySQL database wizerds, Managing redirection of the websites. and many more .

"WHM for small business owners"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Easy to manage multiple c-panel installations.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

That some internet hosts do not provide a license due to the last price increase. I also have trouble with the Two-Factor Authentication, which sometimes fails for no reason. This could be due to my own system settings, but I am unable to confirm at this time.

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

Managing multiple websites is made very simple by being able to access them all from a single panel. This has increased my productivity, by not requiring me to jump between sites manually, often re-entering login details. It also provides simple solutions to manage email with Exim and often provides additional software for quick installations of Wordpress and top CMSs. WHM also makes it very easy to redirect and park domain names for later use by myself or my clients. Being able to quickly see what users are over-quota is potentially my favorite feature, along with being able to mitigate resources to fix the issue very quickly. This is an all-around great tool for web hosting that I would be lost without.

"Perfect Hosting business with cPanel"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Main help full thing in cpanel is that it's performance is amazing even use multiple plugins and accounts. In expansion, the best advantage that cPanel brings is that assists clients with sparing a ton of time in facilitating the executives. Previously, when there was no cPanel, clients needed to oversee facilitating dependent on direction lines, very tedious just as expecting clients to have a specialist in the field of PCs. In any case, presently, with cPanel, even an ordinary client can control and oversee site and facilitating effectively. In addition, as of now cPanel is a renowned brand in the field of facilitating the executives, it is trusted by numerous associations on the planet, the security of cPanel is likewise exceptionally high, helping clients have a sense of safety to use without stressing over anything.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

As i am using cpanel from last 5 years as i not found any problems and any disadvantages or any issue with that. So i think that from my prospective there is no dislike from my side. What's more, in the event that you are only a newcomer to facilitating the board, the huge number of highlights that cPanel offers can make you mistook just because.

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

The main problems i solve with cpanel is that we can use plugins i just like more this and love too. As also it helps so much like example there is let's encrypt plugin. Many difficult task should be easily done my plugins

"“cPanel – Secure Site Management”"
What do you like best about cPanel?

I like using cPanel because it is user friendly, well-structured and highly responsive in web hosting. Also, I like using cPanel because it makes site management easy and more secure. The other important aspect of cPanel is that it is easy to create autoresponders, mail accounts, and forwarders. In simple terms, email management is made easier by cPanel. In addition, cPanel enhances site security since it has an IP blocker option, this curbs issues of site hacking.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Mentioning the dark sides of cPanel is not an easy task for me. However, the web hosting software has some disappointing features that clients or administrators face. The need to first look for consent inconveniences administrators when they want to access all their account files. The other letdown of cPanel is its easy target by hackers and other attackers. Also, its cost is more compared to the charges done by competitors.

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

Our company, DoMyClassWork has 28 employees. cPanel has helped us in creating emails to all employees with company domain and thus management of emails is made easy. Also, the good structure of cPanel has been very responsive and friendly to our employees. Our system managers find it very easy to monitor and reinforce site security using IP blocker that is installed in cPanel. Last, cPanel’s interface has enhanced our site/company control.

What do you like best about cPanel?

The user interface is quite easy to use and navigate even for people who do not have information technology background. This allows me to manage the marketing activities of my company because it is quite easy to update the company web pages using this amazing web host manager.

The features offered by cpanel are numerous and are quite useful when it comes to managing websites.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

The application has a lot of features and as for people who are not IT experts and inexperienced developers and new users may have challenges navigating among the features offered. Creating databases and linking it with the authorized users is quite complex and also tedious.

Just on a page on its dashboard, you can integrate and it shows up everything, from Emails, SSL, File Manager, FTP, phpMyAdmin, MySql, to Billing, and Security and also SEO. With just one click, instead of typing more commands, you'll get to what you need to do. It can also show all the data you need, from remaining storage space to bandwidth use and others.

"cPanel, Perfect Solution for your Web Needs"
What do you like best about cPanel?

cPanel does everything. A great tool where I can access almost everything, from our website files, to ftp, to emails, ssl, and so on. Also a great management tool for our web needs as everything is organized. A certain section for a certain group, like softwares, domains, databases, files, emails etc. It also allows you to install scripts by just one click in collaboration with Softaculous. CMS like wordpress, joomla, drupal, and any other scripts out there can just be installed with a single click. No need to manually setup databases for each site you create. It also allows you to create subdomains, addon domains, parked domains and the list goes on.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

I have nothing to dislike about cPanel. It is far superior than any other tools like VestaCP and DirectAdmin.

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

A one stop dashboard to access your website and all the features essential for running your website.

"Web Management Simplified!"
What do you like best about cPanel?

cPanel simplifies my web management task. Everything is presented in the Dashboard. I can easily navigate what I need to access and do. Whether I'd like to check or create emails, or edit or check phpmyadmin, upload files through File Manager or FTP, manage SSL certificates, or check website statistics. cPanel can also be integrated with Softaculous, a tool which allows to install website scripts, from CMS to micro blogging scripts, in just one click. It can also be integrated with SEO tools and Security tools. Basically, everything I do manually, typing every command on a linux server, I can do it in just 1 click with cPanel.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

cPanel is perfect for my needs. There is nothing which I do not like about the product, at the moment.

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

Easily access web management tools and features on one central panel.

"the control panel that every hosting must have"
What do you like best about cPanel?

It is a software to have total control of your storage and web server, very user-friendly with a fairly simple and intuitive interface, an innumerable degree of tools at your fingertips for the customization and configuration of your web server, every day and every update gives us improvements and automation of processes for the proper development of our web pages, the ability to easily configure files .php, mail servers, ftp accounts, install content managers directly from the platform as wordpress, have full control of our files stored with a series of tools very easy to use and useful when loading and managing our files on the host, no doubt cpanel has positioned itself as the best control panel installable on an online storage server, is a tool that facilitates any expert or inexperienced the proper development of a web portal.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

For inexperienced users there is no preinstalled guide to guide them through an initial tour, identifying all the tools available within the control panel, I think one of the most complicated things about using cpanel is the amount of tools available, that can go from being an advantage to become a real mess if you do not know very well how to use or how to manage the amount of utilities available, I think it could greatly improve the control platform, the fact that comes preinstalled on each host with a quick guide to use. while there are many tutorials and guides on the Internet and the platform page, does not come with such guidance at the time we initialized the software online

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

Since I started to develop webpages independently as a freelancer and for the old agency where I worked cpanel it has been a software that has made things very easy for me, in the correct handling and easy access to the whole world of web development, it has Endless tools with which I have been able to correctly manage the storage and configuration of the files on the servers of the different portals that I have developed, your client for document handling and ftp files is simply fantastic, it is simple, easy to use and allows me to directly edit the files with its powerful text editor, the extensions to modify the server's .php files are super useful when it comes to modifying the default parameters that the server gives us for the file upload size, something that if working on a content manager like wordpress and handle external issues is very important to configure, and also the account manager Mail is quite useful, although they are tools in simple theory, they fully fulfill their specific function and it is the type of things you are looking for in a software, that is why I would recommend 100% cpanel as administrator or control panel for any server of hosting

"The Best Web Management Platform"
What do you like best about cPanel?

cPanel is the best Web Management Platform, as it is the most full featured GUI for web. It is the most popular, and being popular means, many users uses it. Because many users uses it, it is for sure that cPanel has been receiving a lot of bug reports which updates it frequently. cPanel can handle almost anything a website needs, using third party and built in features. It can handle phpmyadmin, emails, ssl, ftp, and so on. With cPanel, you can have a dashboard which you can open on any browser. This makes everything on your website edit settings easily rather than doing it thru taskful command lines.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

cPanel recently abolished their unlimited cpanel accounts, which makes it really pricey now.

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

Easier hosting management.
