Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most famous hosting Control Panel nowadays. But that does not mean that it is the finest - it has a lot of faults and it has had them for so long that they are no longer regarded as imperfections by the majority of users. But only because something was OK in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most crucial differences between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia hosting Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your site, domain name and billing easily, from a one place.
With cPanel, you have 2 separate Control Panel tools - one for your web site and another one for your billing transactions and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain name has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have one principal domain folder and all other add-on domain names are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia web hosting CP, you can take advantage of drag 'n' drop file upload right into 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. However, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you receive a lot of free-of-charge extras.
With cPanel, the charge-free extras you obtain depend on the hosting packages provider, which implies that you can also obtain a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have proven that the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel 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 10 separate websites with the Hepsia Control Panel is not harder than managing 1 or 2 websites.
Hosting more than ten sites under a single cPanel web hosting account is really hard.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia 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.
cPanel shows all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you invariably have to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia web hosting CP features a full-fledged demo version with just several functions disabled. You can even set up a whole website and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to register.
The cPanel hosting CP features a bare-bones demo version, which will only offer you a crude idea of what the cPanel hosting Control Panel can do.
This list can go on and on. But rather than simply reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia hosting Control Panel a go with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy hosting can be?
