I have to say I am pretty excited about the upgrades coming to cPanel and WebHost Manager.
As one of the leading control panels out there today, cPanel has never been a really nice thing to look at visually – in my opinion.
They are taking some major leaps and bounds with both style and substance in the next version.
Here are a few words about the cPanel and WHM 11 release right from the cPanel folks.
cPanel and WHM 11 brings the most extensive update ever to the cPanel and WHM software package. With upgrades in nearly every section of the product, this version enhances the feature packed, security minded and highly stable platform for web hosting.
From the blog on Web Hosting Unleashed, I got these details.
Major Changes And Features:
- Security Center with comprehensive security tools
- Substantial Back-end code upgrades
- Apache 2.0.x and 2.2.x support
- Increased interface speed
- Web disks
- Site Owner Interface Upgrade
- Site Owner “Getting Started Wizard”
- Upgraded branding and better language support
- Easy Perl, PHP and Ruby module installers
- and much, much more
You can test drive both WHM an cPanel yourself here. Hopefully the cPanel team will continue to surprise us all with these upgrades. One might say being leader of the pack means they don’t need to really compete – but from the looks of things it doesn’t look like they will be laying down the crown anytime soon.
