cPanel & WHM

Vorteile

Easiest to use and don't need deep knowledge of deployment while building and setting up a website on Cpanel. Cpanel enables me to manage all of my business emails in one place with an autoresponder.

Nachteile

I feel difficult to use Cpanel on my mobile. Sometimes I need to operate Cpanel while I am far from the city at that time I face some difficulties using it. All other features are excellent.

Vorteile

With a few odd exceptions, most things are relatively easy to find within cPanel. Because cPanel is so prevalent in web hosting, learning how to use it once means you can re-use the same skills and knowledge even when moving to many other hosts. Most functionality is straightforward enough that someone with minimal knowledge can find their wat around and make changes if needed.

Nachteile

Some web hosts still use outdated versions of cPanel which are harder to navigate and use. It would be nice if cPanel somehow operated like cloud software where all hosts are automatically using the most up-to-date version. Not sure if that's technically feasible. From the handful of web hosts I've used, I've noticed that often there is functionality in cPanel that is duplicated outside in the web hosts own interface, and as a result changes made to some aspects of a hosting service done within cPanel don't actually do anything. This is frustrating and usually results in a call to my hosts tech support unless the solution is obvious. I wish that those duplicated functions in cPanel would just redirect me to the right place. Some of the language in the platform can be ambiguious, although that said, I'm not a professional dev - just a hobbyist so perhaps with more background knowledge that wouldn't be an issue.

Vorteile

What I like the most about cPanel (& WHM) is it's prevalence. Most webhosting clients are already familiar with it, and there's plenty of documentation available, so it makes for a smooth experience for clients and admins alike.

Nachteile

The recent change in their pricing tiers.

Vorteile

If i have to choose a simple phrase to describe them, it would be "feature rich". There's nothing you can't accomplish when it comes to managing hosting accounts, in large scale or individually, using these products. It's like a perfect couple that fulfill each other.

Nachteile

Particularly, the update/changelog notices/management can be better in order to be aware of what has exactly changed and prepare for it in advance.

Vorteile

Panel helps in keeping data by setting backup on cloud and easy to restore

Nachteile

Sometimes system update take long time and only recent data can be restored

Vorteile

The fact that the community has embraced cPanel & WHM for decades makes support easily accessible with a simple web search and it's documentation and wiki comes in very handy.

Nachteile

The licensing for the duo is quite expensive for startups and small business.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu cPanel & WHM

Cpanel and WHM was the best offer, most cost-effective.

Vorteile

I run a small Web development and Hosting business. Cpanel & WHM really made my business easy. Cpanel takes care of your web hosting needs. If you’re reselling hosting space, WHM offers everything you need and it works like a charm with WHMCS automating billing and everything.

Nachteile

Cpanel license is little expensive for small business or individuals if purchased directly from them but most hosting companies provide free license tagged with their products

Vorteile

Easy-to-use platform, which hosts several applications that do the work for the time to maintain and manage the hosting of your website, email accounts, database, php among others. It is an all in one for web hosting

Nachteile

One of the capabilities is more vulnerable to direct attacks, the location of all applications is on a single server, so it is easy to attack.

This security breach makes it vulnerable to other options, more difficult to use but more secure

Vorteile

I've used cPanel for most of my web industry career. It's grown more friendly over time and is central to my small business's operations. It is powerful, complete, well-known, and well-supported. I can deploy opensource web apps with ease through Softaculous.

Nachteile

The built-in analytics. I never use them, preferring Google Analytics. They take up disk space through log files, and don't appear to be an optional feature you can turn off.

Vorteile

WHM cPanel has the most advanced features among all the webserver management system. The user interface is easy to use and requires no programming skills to manage the WHM system. With WHM cPanel I can easily set up domains, install websites, create backups, and migrate websites across the servers on a fly.

Nachteile

WHM cPanel is a powerful web hosting management system. But it is quite resourceful, if there had been light version of cPanel, it would been even more better.

Plesk

Warum cPanel & WHM gewählt wurde

WHM cPanel provided a complete set of features and easy to use interface.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu cPanel & WHM

WHM cPanel is easy to use and has a great support team than its other alternatives like Direct Admin, Hepsia Panel, Virtualmin, Ajenti, and Plesk.

Vorteile

Cpanel does the job it is meant to do. It intergrates with alot of applications we use mostly due to its longevity in the market and has simplified matters to enable even our beginner uses to get started with it relatively fast. Whm allows quick deployment of cpanel and they intergrate beautifully

Nachteile

The recent pricing changes brought in alot of complications in determining the cost.

Vorteile

cPanel makes providing hosting services very easy. It is one the best hosting panels available in the market. Their complementary support is awesome and fast.

Nachteile

The only thing I dislike about cPanel is it's pricing. It has become a ritual to increase the price every year and it is hurting many small hosting providers

Vorteile

Easy to manage, secured and a web developer's best friend. Functions are modularized - quick and easy to install, manage and maintain.

Nachteile

Too frequent updates that need to troubleshoot for incompatibilities.

Vorteile

Extremely easy to understand terminologies.
Managing WHM is so easy, in terms of logging via cpanel and then any account in your reseller.
Website management becomes so easy. Otherwise earlier we used to manage each hosting one by one.

Nachteile

User Interface can be improved a lot.
It shows quite a many error and memory status while creating a new account.
More advanced options should be provided in WHM to manage clients panel and if options are to be shown or not.

Vorteile

very esay to use the Cpanel these make it more powerfull and user friendly.

Nachteile

well on part of signature they really need to do it more better, even though the user interface is friendly they really want to work on modern UI.

Vorteile

WHM provides automation and convenience in managing Web Hosting business. Services management and automatic services restart is a great feature to get going your server anytime without interruption.

Nachteile

Only two licensing models are available for VPS and Dedicated servers. For small hosting or for developers there is no option for limited domains.

Vorteile

WHM can be configured to fit your specific web hosting needs. I love being able to set up everything exactly the way I need it and if it isn't something provided within WHM natively, there are a multitude of plugins/extensions that can expand the functionality to meet your needs. This has been my favorite web hosting manager by far.

Nachteile

It can be a bit daunting to try and absorb all at once, especially if you aren't super familiar with web hosting to begin with. The documentation for this isn't the easiest to understand when it is talking about a feature you're new to, but the community and support for this is pretty extensive and is helpful.

Vorteile

We use it for our webhosting to allow the customers and developers to publish their websites. I haven't heard any complaints from them about its features or accessibility.

Nachteile

No complaints here, it seems to be an easy and straight forward webhosting tool. Something that is complex enough for the highly skilled and accessible enough for the beginners.

Vorteile

To make it short, is the best, safest, most complete and stable hosting panel availble. Price is reasonable and support is excellent.

Nachteile

Interface is still a bit "old", not working well on mobile browsers.

Vorteile

I like that I can tailor hosting packages for my clients by a few clicks and some parameter fields. Then I can reuse those packages under one page where I can see all packages.

Nachteile

The web interface is older looking and not as friendly as modern-day websites. Some simply web design could really tie it all in.

Vorteile

Makes website management and hosting easy for a beginner or person not IT savvy. It provides a better user interface for file management and also email functions.

Nachteile

The email capacity is smaller to have uses with heavy files or data. Then the security in place for email scams or theft is not robust

Vorteile

cPanel has a ton of features, it's great for hosting services for which it is designed, but is also great for managing corporate websites when you don't want to continue with your shared hosting and want to move without breaking things.

Nachteile

Some of the default setup isn't required. It would be great in the installation process if cPanel would ask the purpose of the setup, such as shared hosting or business hosting, and based on those, it would kind off recommend and optimise the installation.

Vorteile

Has all software components to host a basic shared Web/Mail server. End-user interface is easy to understand for non-technical users.

Nachteile

The software suite is rather bloated and often contains multiple versions of software that provide the same functionality.

Vorteile

WHM is a lifesaver for users who aren't comfortable with the command line. It offers a wide variety of server management services which helps you configure your server and save time.

Nachteile

It does the job perfectly, so why be a hater?

Vorteile

- WHM provides the facility to allocate web hosting resources.
- Its easy to use and manage my websites.
- Its secure.

Nachteile

- Pricing is high for small businesses or for single site hosting.
- User interface is not very much appealing.
