Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most widely used hosting Control Panel nowadays. But that does not mean that it is the finest - it has many weaknesses and it has had them for so long that they are no longer considered flaws by most users. 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 important distinctions 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 and billing very easy, from a one single location.
With cPanel, you have 2 different Control Panels - one for your site and another one for your billing transactions and domain names.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain name has its own separate folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 principal domain folder and all other add-on domains are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia hosting CP, you can take advantage of drag 'n' drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click contextual menus.
After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. Nevertheless, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you receive many free-of-cost extras.
With cPanel, the free-of-charge bonuses you obtain depend on the hosting services provider, which means that you can also receive a stripped-down cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have demonstrated that the Hepsia CP is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel web hosting Control Panel.
While with the The cPanel Control Panel you do your job, it's designed on concepts from the year 2000 and can be sluggish at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Administering ten different sites with the Hepsia Control Panel is not harder than managing one or two sites.
Hosting more than 10 websites in a single cPanel account is indeed hard.
7. Control Panel navigation
Hepsia lists just the most essential sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in all of the sections.
The cPanel hosting Control Panel displays all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you constantly need to go back there.
8. Demo accounts
Hepsia features a full-fledged demo version with just a couple of functions disabled. You can even build an entire website and see how it looks like prior to deciding whether or not to sign up.
cPanel features a bare-bones demo version, which will only offer you a crude idea of what the cPanel Control Panel can do.
This list can carry on and on. But instead of merely reading about these Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia Control Panel a shot with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy website hosting can be?
