Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most popular hosting Control Panel out there. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has lots of imperfections and it has had them for so long that they are no longer considered flaws by the majority of people. But just because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most important distinctions between the cPanel web hosting Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your site, domain and billing with ease, from a one single place.
With cPanel, you have 2 different Control Panel tools - one for your site 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 principal domain name folder and all other add-on domain names are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia website 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 contextual menus.
After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. Nonetheless, it offers neither drag 'n' drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you get a multitude of free-of-cost extras.
With cPanel, the free-of-cost extras you obtain depend on the web hosting accounts provider, which means that you can also get a stripped-down cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have revealed that the Hepsia CP is three to five times faster than the cPanel web hosting CP.
While with the The cPanel web hosting CP 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
Administering 10 different websites with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel is as difficult as administering one or two sites.
Hosting more than ten web sites under one single cPanel hosting account is really 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 each section.
The cPanel Control Panel lists all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you always need to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia CP offers a full-fledged demo version with just a few functions disabled. You can even build an entire web site and see how it looks like prior to choosing whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel CP features a stripped-down demo version, which will only give you a basic idea of what the cPanel hosting Control Panel can do.
This list can go on and on. But instead of simply reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia CP a whirl with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy hosting can be?
