Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most famous hosting Control Panel these days. But that does not mean that it is the finest - it has plenty of imperfections and it has had them for so long that they are no longer considered weaknesses by the majority of users. But just because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be okay nowadays.
Here are the most crucial differences between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia hosting Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can administer your website, domain and billing with ease, from a one single location.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panel tools - one for your website and another one for your billing transactions and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain name has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 main domain name 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 'n' drop file upload directly in the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click context menus.
After certain recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. However, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you receive lots of free extras.
With cPanel, the free-of-charge bonuses you get depend on the web hosting provider, which implies 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 CP.
While with the The cPanel web hosting CP you can get the job done, it's built on ideas from the year 2000 and can be sluggish at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering ten different websites with the Hepsia CP is not harder than administering 1 or 2 sites.
Hosting more than ten web sites under a single cPanel web hosting account is indeed difficult.
7. Control Panel navigation
Hepsia lists only the most essential sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in all of the sections.
the cPanel web hosting CP shows all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you always have to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel offers a full-fledged demo version with just a couple of functions disabled. You can even set up a complete website and check how it looks like prior to choosing whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel web hosting CP offers a bare-bones demo version, which will only give you a rough idea of what the cPanel CP 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 Control Panel a go with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy website hosting can be?
