Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most famous Control Panel out there. But that does not mean that it is the finest - it has numerous faults and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer regarded as weaknesses by most people. But only because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most critical differences between the cPanel hosting Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your site, domain name and billing easily, from a one single place.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panel interfaces - one for your site and another one for your invoices and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain name has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 main domain folder and all other add-on domain names are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can use drag-and-drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive options and right-click contextual menus.
After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager performs and looks much better. Still, it offers neither drag 'n' drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you receive a myriad of free-of-charge extras.
With cPanel, the free-of-charge extras you obtain depend on the web hosting plans provider, which means that you can also obtain a stripped-down cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have proven that the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel is three to five times faster than cPanel.
While with the cPanel you do your job, it's designed on ideas from the year 2000 and can be sluggish at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering 10 different sites with the Hepsia hosting CP is not harder than managing 1 or 2 websites.
Hosting more than 10 sites in one single cPanel web hosting account is really tough.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel lists only the most important sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in each section.
the cPanel web hosting Control Panel displays all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you always need to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel offers a full-fledged demo version with only several functions disabled. You can even create a whole website and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel hosting CP offers a stripped-down demo version, which will only give you a crude idea of what the cPanel CP can do.
This list can carry on and on. But instead of merely reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia hosting CP a try with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy hosting can be?
