Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most widely used web hosting Control Panel out there. But that does not imply that it is the best - it has many imperfections and it has had them for so long that they are no longer considered imperfections by most users. But just because something was OK in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be OK nowadays.
Here are the most critical differences 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 a single location.
With cPanel, you have 2 different Control Panel interfaces - one for your site 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 principal domain name folder and all other add-on domain names are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia website hosting CP, you can use drag 'n' 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. Nevertheless, it offers neither drag 'n' drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you get a plethora of free-of-cost extras.
With cPanel, the cost-free extras you obtain depend on the hosting accounts 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 Control Panel is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel hosting Control Panel.
While with the cPanel you can get the job done, it's designed on concepts from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering ten different sites with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel is as difficult as managing 1 or 2 web sites.
Hosting more than 10 web sites under one single cPanel account is really hard.
7. Control Panel navigation
Hepsia lists only 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 CP lists all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you invariably need to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia CP features a full-fledged demo account with only a few functions disabled. You can even build an entire site and see how it looks like prior to choosing whether or not to sign up.
The cPanel CP features a stripped-down demo, which will only offer you a vague idea of what the Control Panel can do.
This list can carry on and on. But instead of merely reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia CP a whirl with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy hosting can be?
