Hepsia v cPanel
cPanel is the most popular hosting Control Panel these days. But that does not mean that it is the finest - it has many imperfections and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer considered faults by the majority of users. But only because something was OK in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be okay now.
Here are the most critical distinctions between the cPanel hosting Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your site, domain name and billing easily, from a a single location.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panels - one for your website and another one for your invoices and domain names.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain 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 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 context menus.
After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. In spite of that, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you obtain plenty of cost-free bonuses.
With cPanel, the charge-free extras you get depend on the web hosting solutions provider, which suggests that you can also obtain a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have shown that the Hepsia CP is three to five times faster than the cPanel Control Panel.
While with the The cPanel Control Panel you can get the work done, it's based on ideas from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Managing 10 separate sites with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is as difficult as managing 1 or 2 sites.
Hosting more than ten websites in a single cPanel hosting account is indeed hard.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia hosting CP lists just the most important sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in each section.
The cPanel CP displays all available icons on the home page. To navigate between sections, you constantly have to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
Hepsia offers a fully fledged demo account with just a few functions disabled. You can even set up an entire web site and see how it looks like before choosing whether or not to sign up.
The cPanel hosting Control Panel offers a bare-bones demo, which will only give you a crude idea of what the cPanel web hosting CP can do.
This list can carry on and on. But instead of simply reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel a try with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy website hosting can be?
