Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most popular web hosting Control Panel nowadays. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has many imperfections and it has had them for so long that they are no longer considered faults by most users. But just because something was OK 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 administer your website, domain name and billing with ease, from a one single location.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panel interfaces - one for your 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 1 main domain folder and all other add-on domain names are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia website hosting CP, you can take advantage of drag-and-drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive options and right-click contextual menus.
After certain recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works 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 numerous charge-free extras.
With cPanel, the free-of-cost extras you receive depend on the hosting accounts provider, which suggests that you can also receive a stripped-down cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have shown that the Hepsia web hosting CP is three to five times faster than the cPanel web hosting CP.
While with the The cPanel Control Panel you can get the job done, it's built on concepts from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering 10 separate sites with Hepsia is not harder than administering one or two sites.
Hosting more than 10 websites in a single cPanel account is indeed tough.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia hosting CP lists only the most important sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in each section.
the cPanel web hosting Control Panel shows all available icons on the home page. To navigate between sections, you constantly have to return there.
8. Demo accounts
Hepsia offers a fully fledged demo version with just several functions disabled. You can even build an entire web site and check how it looks like prior to choosing whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel CP offers a bare-bones demo, which will only offer you a vague idea of what the Control Panel can do.
This list can go on and on. But rather than merely reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia hosting Control Panel a whirl with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy website hosting can be?
