Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most widely used web hosting Control Panel today. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has lots of weaknesses and it has had them for so long that they are no longer regarded as weaknesses by the majority of users. But just because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be okay nowadays.
Here are the most essential differences between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can administer your website, domain name and billing easily, from a a single location.
With cPanel, you have 2 separate Control Panel interfaces - one for your website and another one for your billing transactions and domain names.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have one main domain folder and all other add-on domains are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you can take advantage of drag 'n' drop file upload directly in 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. Yet, it offers neither drag 'n' drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you obtain numerous cost-free bonuses.
With cPanel, the free-of-cost bonuses you receive depend on the hosting accounts provider, which means that you can also get a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have demonstrated that the Hepsia Control Panel is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel hosting CP.
While with the cPanel you can get the job done, it's designed on ideas from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering 10 different sites with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is as difficult as managing 1 or 2 web sites.
Hosting more than 10 sites in one single cPanel hosting account is really difficult.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel lists only the most important sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in each section.
The cPanel Control Panel shows all available icons on the home page. To switch between sections, you always need to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia web hosting CP offers a fully fledged demo version with just a couple of functions disabled. You can even build an entire site and see how it looks like prior to deciding whether or not to register.
The cPanel hosting Control Panel features a stripped-down demo version, which will only offer you a crude idea of what the cPanel Control Panel can do.
This list can go on and on. But rather than merely reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia Control Panel a go with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy hosting can be?
