Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most popular Control Panel today. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has plenty of flaws and it has had them for so long that they are no longer considered flaws by the majority of users. But only because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be okay now.
Here are the most critical differences between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your website, domain and billing easily, from a one location.
With cPanel, you have 2 different Control Panel interfaces - one for your website and another one for your invoices and domain names.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain name has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have one principal domain name folder and all other add-on domains are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia web hosting CP, you can take advantage of drag 'n' drop file upload directly in the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive options and right-click context menus.
After certain recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. Nonetheless, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you receive a myriad of free bonuses.
With cPanel, the charge-free bonuses you obtain depend on the web hosting services provider, which means that you can also get a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have revealed that the Hepsia web hosting CP is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel hosting Control Panel.
While with the The cPanel web hosting Control Panel you can get the work done, it's designed on concepts from the year 2000 and can be sluggish at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering 10 different websites with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is as difficult as administering 1 or 2 websites.
Hosting 10+ sites in one single cPanel hosting account is indeed hard.
7. Control Panel navigation
Hepsia lists just 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 displays all available icons on the home page. To navigate between sections, you invariably need to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia CP features a fully fledged demo version with just several functions disabled. You can even create a complete website and check how it looks like before deciding whether or not to sign up.
cPanel features a bare-bones demo, which will only offer you a crude idea of what the cPanel hosting CP can do.
This list can carry on and on. But rather than merely reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia CP a shot with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy hosting can be?
