Now, cPanel is by far the most popular control panel option out there these days. Do you really know what makes it stand out from the rest of the crowd though? Here are the top 5 reasons why cPanel really rocks.
- The File Manager is easy to understand and to use. It doesn’t limit power users by making things too simple and it doesn’t confuse new users with a lot of controls they might not understand yet.
- It can be customized by a web host to no end. You can quickly view a server’s PHP configuration, install Ruby Gems, setup custom error messages and more.
- cPanel does it all when it comes to email configurations. Right out of the box, you get support for POP, IMAP, and SMTP. Webmail is there too, and you can get into your mail with or without SSL encryption.
- Everything is one click away. Now this might depend on the theme you use, but in most cases – you can get the information you need in one to two clicks.
- With additional tools like Fantastico, installing and updating scripts is really easy to master too. Takes a lot of boring work out of the equation and just makes playing with a lot of third-party scripts a lot easier.
There you have it. Love it or hate it, you have to admit that its dominance in the world of web hosting has to be admired. I have a feeling cPanel will be around for many more years to come, and how dominant it is will be up to cPanel and the web hosting community at large.
