Hepsia v cPanel
cPanel is the most widely used hosting Control Panel nowadays. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has numerous weaknesses and it has had them for so long that they are no longer considered imperfections by the majority of people. But just because something was OK in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be okay now.
Here are the most important distinctions between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can administer your site, domain name and billing with ease, from a a single location.
With cPanel, you have 2 separate Control Panel interfaces - one for your web site and another one for your invoices and domain names.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain has its own separate folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 principal domain name folder and all other add-on domains are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia web hosting CP, you can take advantage of drag 'n' drop file upload directly in 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. However, it offers neither drag 'n' drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you get a multitude of charge-free extras.
With cPanel, the cost-free extras you get depend on the web hosting plans provider, which implies that you can also receive a stripped-down cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have revealed that the Hepsia CP is three to five times faster than the cPanel web hosting CP.
While with the The cPanel CP you can get the work done, it's based on concepts from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Managing ten separate sites with Hepsia is not harder than managing one or two websites.
Hosting 10+ sites under a single cPanel hosting account is really hard.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia Control Panel lists only the most important sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in each section.
cPanel displays all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you invariably have to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia CP features a fully fledged demo version with just several functions disabled. You can even create a whole website and see how it looks like before deciding whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel Control Panel features a bare-bones demo, which will only give you a basic idea of what the cPanel hosting CP can do.
This list can go on and on. But rather than simply reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia Control Panel a try with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy website hosting can be?
