Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most widely used hosting Control Panel today. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has a lot of imperfections and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer regarded as faults by most people. But just because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most important differences between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia hosting Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your website, domain and billing with ease, from a a single location.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panels - one for your web site and another one for your billing transactions and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain name has its own separate folder.
With cPanel, you have one main 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 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 performs and looks much better. However, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you receive a plethora of free extras.
With cPanel, the free-of-charge bonuses you receive depend on the web hosting packages provider, which means that you can also obtain a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have revealed that the Hepsia hosting CP is three to five times faster than the cPanel CP.
While with the The cPanel web hosting CP you can get the work done, it's based on concepts from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering 10 separate websites with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is as difficult as managing 1 or 2 web sites.
Hosting more than ten websites in one single cPanel web hosting account is really difficult.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel lists just the most essential sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in each section.
The cPanel hosting CP lists all available icons on the home page. To navigate between sections, you constantly need to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel features a full-fledged demo account with just several functions disabled. You can even set up a whole web site and see how it looks like before deciding whether or not to sign up.
The cPanel Control Panel features a stripped-down demo version, which will only give you a vague idea of what the Control Panel can do.
This list can carry on and on. But rather than simply reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia Control Panel a try with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy web hosting can be?
