Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most popular hosting Control Panel these days. But that does not imply that it is the best - it has a lot of imperfections 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 okay 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 name and billing very easy, from a one single place.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panel tools - one for your web site and another one for your billing transactions and domain names.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain name has its own independent 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 web hosting Control Panel, you can use drag-and-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 performs and looks much better. Nonetheless, it offers neither drag 'n' drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you get tons of free-of-charge bonuses.
With cPanel, the charge-free extras you get depend on the web hosting provider, which implies that you can also obtain a stripped-down cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have shown that the Hepsia CP is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel web hosting Control Panel.
While with the The cPanel hosting CP you can get the job done, it's based on ideas from the year 2000 and can be sluggish at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering ten separate websites with the Hepsia Control Panel is as difficult as administering one or two sites.
Hosting more than 10 web sites in one single cPanel web hosting account is indeed difficult.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel lists just the most important sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in all of the sections.
The cPanel hosting Control Panel lists all available icons on the home page. To switch between sections, you always have to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia web hosting CP features a full-fledged demo version with just a couple of functions disabled. You can even build an entire website and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to open an account.
cPanel offers a stripped-down demo version, which will only give you a vague idea of what the cPanel hosting Control Panel can do.
This list can go on and on. But instead of simply reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia Control Panel a shot with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy hosting can be?
