Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most popular Control Panel these days. But that does not mean that it is the finest - it has numerous faults and it has had them for so long that they are no longer considered weaknesses by most users. But only because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most critical distinctions between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia hosting Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your website, domain name and billing with ease, from a a single place.
With cPanel, you have 2 different Control Panel interfaces - one for your website 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 domain names are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, 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 'n' drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you get loads of free-of-cost extras.
With cPanel, the cost-free extras you obtain depend on the hosting provider, which suggests that you can also receive a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have revealed that the Hepsia hosting CP is 3 to 5 times faster than cPanel.
While with the The cPanel CP you can get the work done, it's built on concepts from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering 10 different web sites with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is not harder than managing one or two websites.
Hosting more than ten websites in one single cPanel web hosting account is indeed difficult.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia hosting CP 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 displays all available icons on the home page. To navigate between sections, you invariably have to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia Control Panel offers a full-fledged demo account with only several functions disabled. You can even build a whole site and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel web hosting CP offers a bare-bones demo, which will only offer you a crude idea of what the cPanel hosting Control Panel can do.
This list can carry on and on. But instead of simply reading about these Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel a whirl with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy website hosting can be?
