Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most popular Control Panel nowadays. But that does not imply that it is the best - it has plenty of imperfections and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer considered imperfections by most users. But just because something was OK in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most essential differences between the cPanel hosting Control Panel and the Hepsia hosting Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can administer your site, domain and billing easily, from a a single location.
With cPanel, you have 2 different Control Panels - 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 context menus.
After certain recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. Nevertheless, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you get a myriad of cost-free extras.
With cPanel, the charge-free extras you receive depend on the hosting plans provider, which means that you can also receive a stripped-down cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have proven that Hepsia is three to five times faster than the cPanel web hosting CP.
While with the The cPanel CP you do your job, it's based on ideas from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Managing ten separate sites with the Hepsia CP is not harder than managing one or two sites.
Hosting more than 10 web sites under one single cPanel account is really difficult.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia Control Panel lists only the most important sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in all of the sections.
cPanel lists all available icons on the home page. To navigate between sections, you invariably need to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel features a full-fledged demo account with just several functions disabled. You can even create a whole site and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel hosting Control Panel features a bare-bones demo, which will only offer you a basic idea of what the cPanel CP can do.
This list can go on and on. But instead of merely reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia hosting CP a go with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy web hosting can be?
