Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most widely used Control Panel these days. But that does not mean that it is the finest - it has plenty of flaws and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer regarded as 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 OK nowadays.
Here are the most important differences between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can administer your site, domain name and billing with ease, from a a single place.
With cPanel, you have two different Control Panels - one for your web site and another one for your billing transactions and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 principal domain folder and all other add-on domains are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia website hosting CP, you can take advantage of drag-and-drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click context menus.
After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager performs and looks much better. Nevertheless, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you receive many cost-free extras.
With cPanel, the cost-free bonuses you get depend on the hosting services provider, which implies that you can also receive a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have revealed that the Hepsia web hosting CP is three to five times faster than the cPanel CP.
While with the The cPanel web hosting Control Panel 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 CP is not harder than administering 1 or 2 web sites.
Hosting more than ten websites in one single cPanel account is indeed tough.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia web hosting 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.
The cPanel CP lists all available icons on the home page. To navigate between sections, you invariably need to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
Hepsia offers a fully fledged demo version with just several functions disabled. You can even build a complete web site and see how it looks like prior to choosing whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel hosting Control Panel features a bare-bones demo version, which will only offer you a basic idea of what the Control Panel can do.
This list can go on and on. But rather than merely reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel a go with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy hosting can be?
