Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most widely used hosting Control Panel nowadays. But that does not imply that it is the finest - it has a lot of weaknesses and it has had them for so long that they are no longer regarded as imperfections by the majority of people. But just because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be okay now.
Here are the most crucial differences between the cPanel hosting Control Panel and the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your site, domain name and billing easily, from a one location.
With cPanel, you have 2 different Control Panel interfaces - one for your site and another one for your invoices and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 main domain folder and all other add-on domains are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you can use drag-and-drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click contextual menus.
After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. Nevertheless, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you get lots of free-of-cost extras.
With cPanel, the free bonuses you get depend on the hosting provider, which suggests that you can also get a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have demonstrated that Hepsia is three to five times faster than the cPanel web hosting Control Panel.
While with the The cPanel Control Panel you can get the job done, it's based on ideas from the year 2000 and can be sluggish at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering 10 separate sites with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel is not harder than managing 1 or 2 sites.
Hosting more than 10 sites under one single cPanel 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 CP lists all available icons on the home page. To switch between sections, you constantly need to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel features a fully fledged demo version with just a couple of functions disabled. You can even create a complete site and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to sign up.
The cPanel web hosting Control Panel offers a bare-bones demo, which will only offer you a rough idea of what the cPanel Control Panel can do.
This list can go on and on. But rather than simply 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?
