If you ask just about anybody what control panel their web hosting account is using, nine times out of ten you are going to get cPanel as the response. While cPanel has always seemed to be the proverbial, “big daddy” when it comes to controlling hosting accounts – I do have to say the company has done a great job at sort of remaking its image to seem more up to date and awesome.
It was not too long ago that people picked cPanel because it was pretty much the standard when it comes to web hosting control panels. It might not have been the prettiest or the best, but it got the job done. For Pete’s sake, it has been around since 1997 – so I would be willing to bet it is one of the oldest control panels out there too.
What is New with cPanel?
Over the past couple of years though, cPanel has gone beyond being the ugly old reliable control panel we have to use to the flexible and pretty control panel we want to use. The cPanel website also offers much more when it comes to teaching you more about the company and the product. Here are just a few of the more recent innovations you might not have seen yet:
