Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most famous hosting Control Panel nowadays. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has many flaws and it has had them for so long that they are no longer considered weaknesses by most people. But only because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most critical differences between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your site, domain and billing easily, from a one place.
With cPanel, you have 2 separate Control Panels - one for your site and another one for your invoices and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 principal domain folder and all other add-on domain names are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia website hosting CP, you can use drag-and-drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click contextual menus.
After certain recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. Nevertheless, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you obtain tons of free-of-charge bonuses.
With cPanel, the free extras you get depend on the hosting packages provider, which implies that you can also get a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have proven that Hepsia is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel web hosting CP.
While with the The cPanel Control Panel you can get the job done, it's built on concepts from the year 2000 and can be sluggish at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering ten separate web sites with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is not harder than administering one or two web sites.
Hosting more than 10 web sites under a single cPanel hosting account is indeed difficult.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia CP lists only the most essential sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in each section.
The cPanel CP lists all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you constantly have to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia hosting CP features a fully fledged demo version with only a few functions disabled. You can even build a complete web site and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to register.
The cPanel web hosting CP features a bare-bones demo, which will only give you a basic idea of what the Control Panel can do.
This list can carry on and on. But instead of merely reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia CP a shot with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy web hosting can be?
