What do you like best about cPanel?

I like that cPanel makes it easy to add domains to your server and manage them through WHM. The interface makes basic setup items such as email set up simple. You can use integrated tools to easily install content management programs on your domain, use phpmyAdmin to manage databases, and there are resource management tools to troubleshoot server slowdowns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

If you enjoy working on your server directly on the back end cPanel can introduce problems as it automates resetting your changes made outside of the system. An experienced server admin would likely be better off working without a Panel. cPanel can create security holes if you don't set it up properly and use secure passwords. The rising price point is becoming prohibitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows easy management of multiple domains / accounts on a server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about cPanel?

Ease of use is the most important thing. Cpanel interface is very much user friendly and anybody can use it with a bit of research. There are many more options and services in cpanel compared to other hosting platforms like firectadmin or plesk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

Nothing much to dislike. However, sometimes I felt like there are some bug while trying to run the autossl for domains. It runs in an infinite loop sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

The servers with cpanel installed are much more convenient to run daily tasks and troubleshooting. Most of the options are in the frontend itself and therefore rarely we need to use backed for any kind of troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about cPanel?

cPanel is a very easy-to-use tool for everyone. I started using cPanel as a beginner and now am an expert. I spend my whole day working on this tool and I love it. Working with Git Version Control, FTP, Emails, Terminal, DNS, Cron Jobs, Database, etc. are too easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

The one and only thing I dislike about cPanel is the Security token update. If I leave the tabs open for 1 hour and come back later, then it asks password for every tab where I've opened cPanel to update its security token. It irritates me sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to manage my server's Database, Emails, Code, DNS, etc. on a single dashboard. This tool is very easy to use as a one-day experienced person can work on this tool. Every single server-related task can be done on this tool without using any other tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best dashboard out there to manage linux servers, has a very clean layout, super user friendly, WHM is for server administrators and cPanel is for end users who uses it every day. WHM is capable of customzing everything to our likings and cPanel loved by our customers. Very easy to setup, and the cPanel team is there always to help you out when you stuck. We have integrated it with WHMCS and it makes the billing side of it easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about cPanel?

Helps us manage our websites and servers without running complex commands.

We often need to tweak settings to be able to install our software product on a website and cpanel helps us to perform actions that can easily be done without the need of a technical person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cPanel?

While performing actions related to database like creating new database or adding a database user the panel takes a lot of time to go back to the previous page. This thing needs to be improved upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is cPanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a software product company and our product gets installed on a server. Me and my team needs to install the product at least twice a week and we can easily do so with the help of cpnel without the need to contact DevOps team. We use features like uploading the file on server, creating/modifying database, setting up corn jobs with the help of cpanel.

Also to troubleshoot the server cpanel offers a Terminal on which we can run Linux and laravel commands to interact with our server. Without cpanel it would be very difficult for me and my team to set up our product. We would need to be doing all things via commands and thus would have been a very steep learning which is cut short by cpanel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
