cPanel & WHM

Vorteile

WHM/cPanel is everything you need to manage your server. Managing server becomes super easy with WHM. It's fast, responsive, easy to use and secure. WHM is packed with tons of features which are required to manage a server. I've been using WHM since 7 or more years and I'm fully satisfied.

Nachteile

Only thing I don't like about WHM/cPanel is it's price. It's way expensive these days.

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Some web hosts still use outdated versions of cPanel which are harder to navigate and use.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

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.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu cPanel & WHM

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

It has a simple and modern UI that displays all the major categories and features in the home page.
It has a very good file manager with all the details you need for an hosting
It manages very well domains

Nachteile

UI could be tweaked more
Speed: since it's not built as a "Single Page Application" (SPA) it is a bit slow when switching pages and submitting forms
There isn't an easy way to deeply customize it: if you edit the source code then updating to newer versions is difficult...

Vorteile

WHM removes many of the obstacles of running a hosting service, by providing all the functionality you need, without the requirement of understanding all the underlying technology. Users are able to concentrate on their business, rather than learning and maintaining all the processes behind the scenes.

Nachteile

There is a recurring monthly (or annual) fee, rather than a one-off payment. However in my experience this software has paid for itself many times over. Due to the nature of managing a complex system, sometimes problems do arise, however there is a wealth of information available on the web, and the support I have received has been very effective.

Vorteile

Web server configuration easy to mange and security tools also good .

Nachteile

Easily we can change php versions. Its easy to manage web frameworks.

Vorteile

When I purchased hosting from Godaddy, it came with Cpanel. It is really easy to use and well supported. I never really needed assistance on learning how to use it. A straightforward user interface makes it seem similar to the way you use your desktop. A big plus is that it's stable. You can change php versions, and install software, etc...

Nachteile

Well, I suppose one con is that if you want to setup a cron job, you will need to know how to use the command line in unix/linux. This may be tough.

Vorteile

It have a lot of great features and a great design, a solution for almost every hosting provider.

Nachteile

A big "-" would be the pricing, cPanel is increasing their prices every year and a lot of hosting providers started to move out.

Vorteile

It has a great UI which makes server management easy and efficient.

Nachteile

Navigation on the file explorer could be improvised.
