Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most famous web hosting Control Panel these days. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has lots of imperfections and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer regarded as flaws by the majority of people. But just because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most critical differences between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can administer your site, domain and billing with ease, from a one place.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panels - one for your site and another one for your invoices and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 main domain name folder and all other add-on domains are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia hosting CP, you can use drag 'n' drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click context menus.
After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager performs and looks much better. In spite of that, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you receive loads of free extras.
With cPanel, the charge-free bonuses you get depend on the hosting plans provider, which implies that you can also obtain a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have shown that the Hepsia CP is 3 to 5 times faster than cPanel.
While with the The cPanel web hosting CP you do your job, it's designed on concepts from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering ten separate sites with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is not harder than managing 1 or 2 websites.
Hosting more than 10 websites in a single cPanel web hosting account is really tough.
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 all of the sections.
The cPanel CP lists all available icons on the home page. To switch between sections, you always need to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia hosting CP offers a full-fledged demo account with just several functions disabled. You can even build a complete website and see how it looks like before choosing whether or not to sign up.
cPanel features a bare-bones demo, which will only give you a basic idea of what the cPanel web hosting Control Panel can do.
This list can carry on and on. But rather than simply reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia hosting CP a whirl with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy web hosting can be?
