Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most famous Control Panel today. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has lots of flaws and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer considered faults by the majority of people. But only because something was OK in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most critical distinctions between the cPanel hosting Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can administer your website, domain and billing easily, from a one single place.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panels - one for your website and another one for your invoices and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain name has its own separate folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 principal domain name folder and all other add-on domain names are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia CP, you can take advantage of drag 'n' drop file upload directly in the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click contextual menus.
After certain recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. However, it offers neither drag 'n' drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you get multiple free-of-charge extras.
With cPanel, the free extras you get depend on the hosting accounts provider, which suggests that you can also obtain a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have shown that the Hepsia Control Panel is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel hosting Control Panel.
While with the The cPanel hosting CP you can get the work done, it's built on concepts from the year 2000 and can be sluggish at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Managing 10 separate web sites with the Hepsia Control Panel is not harder than managing 1 or 2 web sites.
Hosting more than 10 sites under one single cPanel web hosting account is really tough.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia web hosting CP lists just the most important sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in all of the sections.
the cPanel web hosting Control Panel displays all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you invariably have to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia CP offers a full-fledged demo version with only a few functions disabled. You can even create a whole site and see how it looks like prior to deciding whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel Control Panel offers a stripped-down demo, which will only give you a basic idea of what the cPanel hosting Control Panel can do.
This list can carry on and on. But instead of merely reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia hosting Control Panel a whirl with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy website hosting can be?
