cPanel & WHM

Vorteile

cPanel is a great product that makes it extremely easy to manage your own servers, DNS records as well as emails and clients websites. It is an all in one solution to managing both emails and websites as well as the technical aspects through a wonderful interface.

The WHM master control panel also makes it very easy to manage multiple cPanel accounts and functionalities. Furthermore, allowing you to create separate login details for each of your clients to access their own cPanel dashboard for management purposes

Nachteile

The biggest cons with regards to cPanel is that there exists no automatic backup functionality which is a very important feature, single-use licenses can also become extremely expensive. Lastly, the email interface options could also use more work and features to be included.

Vorteile

The updated UI of cPanel us great, it has a great search functionality. Add ons makes your life easier. The options available to customize the flow is easy and the Integration with WHMCS is great.

Nachteile

The UI is great but still can be improved. It can be complex to use for beginners and can overwhelm you. The File Manager UI is old.

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

It often happens that customers have vps managed by CPanel, it offers every tool you need to manage a server, especially for those who do not want to manually manage the configurations.

Nachteile

during use I did not encounter any defects or problems. maybe a graphical refactoring could be interesting.

Vorteile

get the most out of your wordpress site with this. easily add more functionality and edit any and all details of a site fast and easy, I wont build a site without this

Nachteile

a bit tricky at first. had I not learned this as part of a college course I may not have been able to get it on my own

Vorteile

Ease of use, Loads of feature and manageability. Regular updates that we get from cPanel directly are very important for us.

Nachteile

Bit costly for small customers when it comes to India Market. There are alternative hosting too that are now gaining popularity due to regular increase in cost price and INR-$ price fluctuation

Ease of use and familiarity with the product

Vorteile

With WHM it is so easy to create a new cPanel account for your customers. Just with the press of a few buttons, they get their username and password which is assigned to their purchased hosting package.
The best part is that this can also be automated so you won't be losing time to some boring tasks like clicking through cluttered UI.
WHM also allows you to monitor your whole server and see load and if there are some errors so you can quickly fix them.
There are lots of quick easy fix remediation available which is quite handy when you host a lot of websites and some go down because of misconfiguration error.
Taking backup of the whole server is no longer a tedious task. With just a few clicks you can take a backup or restore server or just client's websites to the previous state if something goes wrong.

Nachteile

There are no many cons with WHM. If you chose WHM you are good to go with your hosting business. You won't regret it.
But be prepared that it is not easy to setup. The average person could have some problems with the initial setup of WHM but once it is configured properly there should be no problems.
The only problems I experienced are AutoSSL which fails to provision SSL to domains who are pointing to Cloudflare or similar services.

Vorteile

cPanel is the industry standard for web hosting, and has been great for us. Easy to customize each account, setup mailboxes, install packages, and monitor usage

Nachteile

Wish there was a way to create multiple cPanel/WHM users so that everyone doesn't have to login with the main account. And have the ability to apply 2FA to all accounts at once

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

A feature-rich piece of software for managing hosting reseller accounts and running multiple cPanels. I've used this from day one of my freelance web design career and have not been disappointed. WHM makes it a breeze to run and maintain multiple hosting accounts.

Nachteile

No issues, I've never had a crash with or needed to contact either WHM or my hosting providers support with any issues

Vorteile

Features that allow us to quickly deploy Wordpress, Joomla, etc... Very easy to understand and everything is at your fingertips

Nachteile

WHM can be a bit challenging at first until you get used to the UI. An update to the UI or additional features such as letting you remove or add accounts from the same button.link would be nivr, but just a quibble, the existing intetace does everything you need efficiently

Vorteile

Everything about cPanel is so cool! Like I get so many apps like Softaculous and that helps when it comes to installing or setting up CMS software I am not really familiar with.

I also love the fact that I can set up email accounts directly and get set up instructions for my devices. cPanel is really one of the best!

Nachteile

I've been using cPanel for years and I still can't find anything wrong with it really. Talk about perfection, hehehe 😃

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

All features are very useful personally i love cpanel

Nachteile

No need to do I think so or you beter known what should You improve you are perfect everywhere.

Vorteile

I like Cpanel, Because it is easy and comfortable working space. I have three mail server and used Cpanel.

Nachteile

I have not problems and reasons. If I had problem, I don't used Cpanel. I am only email administrator and I have not problem.

Vorteile

Very friendly interface, and the customization they allow to use it. All the content of the host is uploaded or edited usign the app.

Nachteile

Poor Code Editor, sometimes unstable and with a low number of languages supported, needs a quick upgrade.

Vorteile

cPanel & WHM makes website hosting administration and management very easy

Nachteile

Deploying cPanel & WHM for the first time can be a challenge and time consuming

Vorteile

A very simple and easy to use software which has made it incredibly easy for us to run multiple websites for our company under one web server.

Nachteile

Some features may be more difficult to understand for beginners.

Vorteile

cPanel is the ultimate website and email management system. I really like that it is very easy to create new email addresses and access them easily. Hosting new application on new domains or subdomains is fast because you can manage domains, files and everything else. Setting up the PHP requirements for different apps is a must for optimal performance and security.

Nachteile

For a great performance, the hardware part must have some resources.

Vorteile

Que es muy fácil y rápido de manejar, el diseño es sencillo e intuitivo, es de mucha ayuda que sus opciones estén agrupadas en categorías, y que con el transcurso de los años se ha ido potenciando con nuevas herramientas

Nachteile

No he encontrado cosas que no me gusten, hasta el momento

Vorteile

Facilidad para usarlo en la administración de servidor o hosting. Herramientas para el manejo de complementos web y desarrollo de sitios web.

Nachteile

Funciones en un entorno visula oculto, que dificulta encontrarlos en las opciones.

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

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.

Warum cPanel & WHM gewählt wurde

Broken updates that rendered my server unmanageable for days before a remedy update was available. With cPanel and WHM the updates are somewhat trusted to work as intended without breaking the system.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu cPanel & WHM

Recommendation by my mentor and easy learning curve.

Vorteile

Es una herramienta muy útil para la gestión y administración de servidores, ya que cuenta con una amplia variedad de funciones y características que facilitan el control y monitoreo de los mismos. Además, su interfaz intuitiva y fácil de usar, hace que sea accesible incluso para usuarios que no tienen experiencia en la administración de servidores.

Nachteile

Una de sus desventajas puede ser que es costoso para usuarios con un presupuesto limitado, especialmente para aquellos que solo necesitan administrar un pequeño número de sitios web. Además, algunas personas también han informado que la interfaz de usuario puede ser un poco desordenada y difícil de navegar para aquellos que no están familiarizados con ella.

Vorteile

We are a small healthcare consulting firm that owns several WordPress websites with different domain names. We use cPanel and WHM to help us manage these websites on a virtual private server (VPS).

When selecting a web hosting software package to use on our VPS, foremost on our list of requirements was ease of use, since none of our team members had much experience or expertise in web hosting. cPanel and WHM were the most straightforward choice because we were familiar with the graphical user interface (GUI) of cPanel (we had experience with it for about 2 years while our websites were on shared hosting) and the GUI was/is user friendly, even for novices. We set up our websites, each with a different cPanel for added security, on WHM easily and quickly - we didn't require any external assistance or training.

Security was also another feature that we prioritized. WHM provides several ways to improve security of the server and therefore our websites, e.g. enabling "Configure Security Policy", disabling shell access, ModSecurity configuration, automatic updates.

Nachteile

Cost of the software. In late 2019, our VPS hosting provider increased our VPS cPanel license fee by $6 per month due to a change in the way cPanel license prices were calculated and how they were sold (changing to an account based license). This fee increase was a little annoying at the time, but we opted to continue using cPanel and WHM because we had been so accustomed to using the software and it had served us well for 10 years. We continue to use cPanel and WHM exclusively for web hosting on our VPS.

Vorteile

Yo diría que es el panel de control más robusto y completo que existe en la actualidad para administrar Servidores y principalmente para revender servicios de Hosting.La gran cantidad de configuraciones que tiene para administrar usuarios, servidores, aplicaciones web, etc; hace que este panel sea una gran opción.

Nachteile

Yo diría que no es de los más baratos que existen en el mercado.Me gustaría que renovaran su interfaz, que modernizaran su diseño, etc.Deberían crear una APP para movil donde permita manejar las principales funcionalidades del Panel.

Vorteile

When I was new to hosting and server management, cPanel was first among the tools that I used. cPanel is so easy to use that any neophyte with minimalistic knowledge can use it without any hassles. They timely provide UI and icons update. There is a wide variety of plugins like SSL vendors, App installers, Metrics, etc. 3rd party integrations make it very feature-rich. I love DNS records management. It is very easy to search and modify records from their directory.

Nachteile

Apart from lots of features, a few features need some mending. Like the file explorer (File Manager) they have is not very keyboard friendly. Keystrokes should be mapped with the buttons and features. Also, using the old email clients is not much productive. We cannot append the name of the sender in the header. A new email client (except webmail and horde) should be implemented.

Vorteile

The Cpanel is fairly easy to use. The user interface is super friendly.
The learning curve works better in an intuitive enviroment as the shown in Cpanel.
Managing and installing frameworks such as WordPress runs with ease.
Creating email addresses and managing them is super smooth and easygoing.

Nachteile

No cons so far in comparison with similar alternatives that might be a little more powerful, but requires much more time to get used to and managing.

Plesk

Gründe für den Wechsel zu cPanel & WHM

The experience in the user interface was better over all those alternatives when managing hosting services.

Vorteile

User-friendly interface on both cPanel and WHM. Wide range of features like alerts, server monitoring and SSL installation.

Nachteile

The software pricing is a little expensive. CPanel does not support Windows OS, other than that it's a one in all solutions for website management.

Vorteile

EasyApache is the best software for me, because I can easily provision different extensions for different PHP versions and then select multiple versions of PHP for each domain. Then I like the fact that we can create feature lists and select which features a customer will have available for his cPanel. Each customer should have only the necessary features and access to different tools. Suspending accounts is really useful when customers don't pay their invoices for a long time and after many warnings. The best of all is the Security Center where I can configure everything, set security policies, Brute force protection and other restrictions. Basically I like that cPanel is always recommending the best and safest option for each feature there is available across cPanel & WHM.

Nachteile

We would prefer the old pricing which wasn't user based, but it's still affordable and very stable as a server software.

Vorteile

cPanel & WHM can be accessed via your web browser to manage website hosting, databases, emails, server side scripts, ftp access, SSL installation, domain configuration and more. You can administer different levels of access for other users as well as reseller accounts.

There is a mobile app available for administrators that are unable to access a desktop/laptop to manage hosting changes.

Nachteile

The software is effective, but does have a few limitations. As of now it is only deployed on Linux servers.

You might find the appeal of the user interface to be more of a personal preference. I prefer the cleaner interface of Plesk. The listed menu style of Plesk control panel is a little more consistent and the appearance feels more modern.

Plesk

Gründe für den Wechsel zu cPanel & WHM

Using cPanel & WHM for different server hosts is the reason for using this software. Depending on the hosting, I have found myself alternating between cPanel and the Plesk control panel.

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

cPanel and WHM is simple and dynamic. it is not complicated in installation and deploying end product to client.

Nachteile

May be should support more of server sided types of programing .

Vorteile

Generic in terms of branding, fully functional in that form. In other words, different hosts aren't compelled to change it and that makes working on clients sites easily with no learning curve to worry about

Nachteile

Occasionally doesn't allow for a feature but usually, that's the host. I really have no issue at all with Cpanel and have considered any hosting I was deciding on first based on cPanel. If they don't have it I will go to higher pricing first

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

The ease of use. Its very easy to organise everything from databases, email, file manager, 2 factor authentication. All good.

Nachteile

Restoring a cPanel backup is hectic. Most if the time it fails. I think they should improve the cPanel backup restore UI.

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

WHM is the software you want if you are going to be a webhost. It lets you spawn your customer cPanels and control each element from your WHM console. Also, it is a GUI for many of the more painful points of server administration that would otherwise be handled on the command line.

Nachteile

It is pricey! Worth it, but pricey. Also, the WHM software does have some difficulty with functions and DNS records either showing as complete but not working, or records like that getting "stuck" somewhere in the server's DNS zone.

Also, management of a large number of cPanels can get daunting quick.

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

Ease of usage, functions, extensibility everything is awesome and is well made for service providers specially in shared hosting industry, they also keep adding new features like free SSL and keep the code uptodate to minimalise any issues to appear suddenly, i worked with WHM many times and i personally like the working and and ui to be extra ordinary.

Nachteile

there was not something i would consider i like least but a recent change made me rething my opinion about them, many of my friends who were exclusive customers of WHM/cPanel cancelled their subscription cause of a single change in their pricing which forced amny privders to either raise their plans or switch, and they choose the first one as cheapest wins the race in this idustry.

Vorteile

My server that I've had with my host company for well over 10 years now uses WHM/Cpanel. I love, love, love it. I've worked with other servers using other software, and by far, WHM is the easiest, most straightforward, and the most extensive. It's totally easy to find what you're looking for with the search box. WHM also integrates with many other pieces of server software making putting together a web server that can be managed simply a breeze.

Nachteile

I haven't really had any issues or cons that I've found with WHM.

Vorteile

What's not to like. It's easy to use, has every feature you can need and more, lots of one click installs, analytics, database integrations made easy, plus a huge user base for any questions that arise. If your nervous about hosting your own website and having to do "server backend stuff" have no fear, cPanel has you covered.

Nachteile

I have been using it for so long it is like a habit

Vorteile

Once set up properly, WHM makes web hosting management a piece of cake since most customers prefer cPanel anyway and are quite accustomed to it. Its ease of use makes it the number one choice. WHM puts every control into the user's hands, all with an intuitive GUI.

Nachteile

It's quite easy to use, but that doesn't mean setting it up is a walk in the park. Also, cPanel was expensive, and it got even more expensive with the recent hike in price.

Vorteile

We love all of it easy to use lots of self help doc and even pop up tips on damn near everything you have a question for. When that fail there tech support is by far the best i have dealt with in owning my company in the course of 16 years

Nachteile

Not a damn thing keep doing what you are doing team WHM!

Vorteile

Da un unico pannello di controllo puoi gestire l'hosting in modo rapido, facile ed efficace. La gestione di diversi siti e/o domini offre molti vantaggi e comodità. Se sei un rivenditore, il WHM ti consente di creare account per i tuoi clienti e gestire da un unico pannello tutti gli aspetti relativi alla configurazione del server.

Nachteile

Impossibile trovare un difetto o mancanza per questi due applicativi web.

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

The extensibility and its frequent updates right after a bug got reported their developers get right on their desks to patch it up and thats the most amazing thing.

Nachteile

The only thing i least like is its complecated code structure i mean it does have a lot of features but it also comes with a lot more of hard working codes.

Vorteile

Where do I begin? It's no wonder WHM is the leader in the industry. It packs so many features that it makes virtually impossible for you to move to another server management tool. You can manage and install anything in your server using it.

Nachteile

The recent price increase was a bit of a hit on everyone, specially if you have dozens of servers to manage.
