"Cpanel dominio"
What do you like best about cPanel?

very easy management of the environment for your web domain, has many work tools including mysql, postgresql, phpmyadmin among many monitoring tools, uploading files, among them we can see the easy creation of web sub-domains, create email accounts , redirect link among many other things that the cpanel can offer, I think it is a very useful tool and 100% effective both for the simple administration for beginners and for an advanced expert, highly recommended.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

What I do not like very much about this license is that it is heavy in terms of hardwre resources but everything has a benefit which is that the tool to be heavy meets all the described requirements which characterize it as one of The best website managers in the market.

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

The main benefit I have obtained with cpanel is that I can manage in terms of working time and problem solving, that is, I have created several tools on my website which my clients can access and simply by making a request can solve in an expected manner the inconvenience which the client has. very practical really.

"The best web server management solution!"
What do you like best about cPanel?

WHM is the easiest and best solution for managing a web server with multiple websites and accounts. It is the admin side of cPanel and allows you to manage cPanel accounts with ease. It also allows powerful 3rd party plugins such as JetBackupManager.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

WHM sometimes take a while to get modern features. For example, it took forever to get two-factor authentication. I also wish that alert emails could be sent via SMTP through services like Sparkpost for increased delivery.

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

WHM allows me to manage my web server easily. It saves me time and allows me to have an easy backup system that saves time and money if a website ever goes down.

What do you like best about cPanel?

The attractive things that cpanel presents are many among them the ones I like the most: adding thousands of sub domain webs, managing your files from each website that you add, installing tools like wordpress with just one click. In addition to this, it presents us with quite innovative ideas in terms of google adsense, bing ads, and we can manage all the configurations of each website that we have in a simple and fast way, it is a tool that will not get slow and will always be it will keep working well.

"The best ally to manage our hosting accounts."
What do you like best about cPanel?

Personally Intuitive and easy to use, cPanel allows you to manage a web hosting account with maximum efficiency. Whether creating new FTP users and email addresses or monitoring resources, creating subdomains and installing software. It also helps us delegate functions so that our web pages are always in constant operation

What do you dislike about cPanel?

It may cost more and it is rarely offered with free hosting

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

does not make it easy to manage our web hosting account (hosting) where I can make changes such as: create accounts and mailing lists. Create ftp accounts and Create subdomains

"cPanel for Development to Deployment"
What do you like best about cPanel?

cPanel is simple and initiative web administration toolkit. I like that all the tools are in one place and if you cant find the tool you are looking for you can search what you are looking for. I like that you can change the look of cPanel. Our main hosting account is a dark theme and all of our client accounts are light. This helps us know which account we are in. Connecting with WHM and BoxBilling also helps us support out client opening up the high level administration to some of our clients who are using a more self service account.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Using cPanel is very simple administering the background takes a lot of reading. Database setup is very prescriptive. you need to remember to create a database, create a user then link the two.

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

Web hosting, Database management and client management with WHM components installed on a cloud based server. Provides my clients there hosting and email management.

there are a lot of advantages for cpanel, the most important one is that it's popular and widely used by all the industry-leading web hosting companies. the interface is beautiful and icon based so its very easy to navigate through as well as extremely user-friendly. even thou primarily Linux based it supports a wide range of other popular operating systems including but not limited to Trustix, Debian, Fedora. Cpanel is cheaper than most of the other services offered and start as low as $25 each. another great hing about cpanel is the customization offered, cpanel is skinnable and made to look unique without causing any trouble to the features which is awesome. they also update the platform time to time and thus guarantee security and Quality.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

even thou they are affordable and comes with greatest of benefits over other panel's in the market, most of the VPS hosting providers don't provide the service at a competitive price that everyone can afford. even thou its easy to use the cpanel is not professional looking.

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

Cpanel gives an easy way to host and manage your website. the navigation is easy and its pretty popular too. the interface is icon-based so users won't have trouble moving through the setting.

"Go with cPanel for simple server interaction!"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Our company uses cPanel in conjunction with InMotionHosting's platform of services. When we were beginners with cPanel, our first experience couldn't be more user friendly. The organization of the website services, relevant icons, and screen flow all made the opening experience have a sharp learning curve. Access your hosting server settings, email accounts, and more with this user-friendly software. Without a doubt, the File Manager proved to be most useful when interacting with cPanel. When doing any type of intermediate level web development, you almost always need to access the underlying file structure. With cPanel, the display screens, expandable hierarchy, and easy to use FTP function made for a great experience. Even better, we are able to make code edits right in the file and save the changes! This beats having to third-party FTP into the server, download the file, make the changes, and upload. Saves so many steps, thanks cPanel developers!

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Password management with InMotionHosting and cPanel - there are separate passwords needed for the usernames and accounts. Not a huge deal but would be nice to have single-sign-on encryption.

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

Server management, web hosting file management, and email account management. Clear benefit is usability and sharp learning curve.

"Top quality website hosting program"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Easy to manage web services like domains and sub domains for users accounts compared to going into the server and manually configuring it. So that it may be able to run & deploy without any errors or issues later on down the road! . I also love the php versions your able to work with using this app. Security is always being updated and should not need to have any main concerns for site security over preform ace I've noticed using it through out the years .

What do you dislike about cPanel?

I don't like it's not a windows based script program.

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

Web users can have their own login via ftp and creating sub domains and configuration of multiple IPs to each domain we use been so much easier.

"Managing your clients servers has never been so easy"
What do you like best about cPanel?

Cpanel provides a very intuitive platform to manage the servers of my clients and partners, as well as multiple tools for the use of databases, and products offered by our company such as joomla, wordpress, and original pages, hosted on dedicated servers, vpn, etc.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

As for the platform, CPanel, it is very complete, there is nothing that can not be managed from here, from activations to suspensions with just a couple of clicks.

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

The training of the workers of the technical service department has become much less tedious, since the procedures such as activation of servers, IP unblocks, suspensions, are carried out in a very fast and simple way.

"Best GUI comparing to any other control panels"
What do you like best about cPanel?

In cpanel, mostly use of file manager and database which is very easy and nice GUI provided in CPanel that i like most. Otherthen, one more thing i like most that is i think not provided in any other control panel that is : while any user ( we have given temporary access ) try to upload shell script then CPanel will not allow to upload it. I think i like that most as a security view.Third point is that it provide very easy solution to install SSL certificates.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

When i am using JIO internet then sometimes it logouts me with error : "Your IP has been changed", even if i have not restarted JIO route / not changed IP.

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

CPanel is mostly used to make site live. My 99% ( except 1-2 ) clients providing me CPanel. It's very easy to upload site because it provides to upload whole ZIP file format and allow to extract online with larger amount.
