cPanel & WHM

Avantages

cPanel is a great product that makes it extremely easy to manage your own servers, DNS records as well as emails and clients websites. It is an all in one solution to managing both emails and websites as well as the technical aspects through a wonderful interface.

The WHM master control panel also makes it very easy to manage multiple cPanel accounts and functionalities. Furthermore, allowing you to create separate login details for each of your clients to access their own cPanel dashboard for management purposes

Inconvénients

The biggest cons with regards to cPanel is that there exists no automatic backup functionality which is a very important feature, single-use licenses can also become extremely expensive. Lastly, the email interface options could also use more work and features to be included.

Avantages

WHM/cPanel is everything you need to manage your server. Managing server becomes super easy with WHM. It's fast, responsive, easy to use and secure. WHM is packed with tons of features which are required to manage a server. I've been using WHM since 7 or more years and I'm fully satisfied.

Inconvénients

Only thing I don't like about WHM/cPanel is it's price. It's way expensive these days.

Avantages

This is simple to implement and is a standardised piece of software that is regularly used on many hosts, so you know what you can do when logon to a new server - reducing developer / devops learning curve.

Inconvénients

It's outdated, it isn't a pleasant UX, it feels like it is buggy, the only documentation isn't great and is community led so it feels like it is awkward or inaccurate. The update process always feels risky, and the methods of implemnting nginx just feel awkward.

Avantages

The updated UI of cPanel us great, it has a great search functionality. Add ons makes your life easier. The options available to customize the flow is easy and the Integration with WHMCS is great.

Inconvénients

The UI is great but still can be improved. It can be complex to use for beginners and can overwhelm you. The File Manager UI is old.

Avantages

WHM (Web Host Manager) is the very best software to run a small web hosting business. The interface is very simple and easy to understand. The documentation is organized by category, making it easy to find the instructions on how to do any of it's many features. The most common function you will probably use is setting up a new hosting account for a new customer, which it's just a matter of a couple of clicks and then inputting a few form fields.

Inconvénients

The system isn't the greatest for medium or larger web hosting companies unless you integrate a third party system like WHMCS. Smaller hosting or web design companies might also want to integrate third party backup solutions , because the backup of cPanel accounts is not as modern for ease of use as one might think. Otherwise, you have to go through each cPanel account, one by one, back them up, and then download the backup.

Avantages

Easiest to use and don't need deep knowledge of deployment while building and setting up a website on Cpanel. Cpanel enables me to manage all of my business emails in one place with an autoresponder.

Inconvénients

I feel difficult to use Cpanel on my mobile. Sometimes I need to operate Cpanel while I am far from the city at that time I face some difficulties using it. All other features are excellent.

Avantages

It often happens that customers have vps managed by CPanel, it offers every tool you need to manage a server, especially for those who do not want to manually manage the configurations.

Inconvénients

during use I did not encounter any defects or problems. maybe a graphical refactoring could be interesting.

Avantages

get the most out of your wordpress site with this. easily add more functionality and edit any and all details of a site fast and easy, I wont build a site without this

Inconvénients

a bit tricky at first. had I not learned this as part of a college course I may not have been able to get it on my own

Avantages

Since my first approach to cPanel to handle my client's website back in 2003, the intuitive UI and features allow any user to manage a server in a few minutes. I tried Plesk manager, then moved to Ferozo due as part of my VPS provider policy changes. I have decided to move to another provider with cPanel and all suites, until these dates.

Inconvénients

Sometimes I wouldn't say I like the UI for aesthetic reasons but I forget after the essential task over my VPS. It's a perfect tool.

Avantages

Its Perfect Platform to manage and sell your hosting to your clients without having much knowledge of server.
You can easily create individual accounts and hosting packages with custom configuration. you can also block any hosting acount from whm panel or you can edit package configuration very easily

Inconvénients

actually i dont find any issue with whm panel by cpanel, its very easy to use.
only they have to launch official mobile application to manage this WHM panel services.

Avantages

Very easy to use, stable and secure, data portability / backups very good to work with

Inconvénients

Nothing I don't like about the software, but there was some controversy around the price updates a few years ago after cPanel was bought out buy a large VC firm that put me off being a total advocate. Very good software however.

Avantages

Ease of use, Loads of feature and manageability. Regular updates that we get from cPanel directly are very important for us.

Inconvénients

Bit costly for small customers when it comes to India Market. There are alternative hosting too that are now gaining popularity due to regular increase in cost price and INR-$ price fluctuation

Pourquoi choisir cPanel & WHM

Pourquoi passer à cPanel & WHM

Avantages

With a few odd exceptions, most things are relatively easy to find within cPanel. Because cPanel is so prevalent in web hosting, learning how to use it once means you can re-use the same skills and knowledge even when moving to many other hosts. Most functionality is straightforward enough that someone with minimal knowledge can find their wat around and make changes if needed.

Inconvénients

Some web hosts still use outdated versions of cPanel which are harder to navigate and use. It would be nice if cPanel somehow operated like cloud software where all hosts are automatically using the most up-to-date version. Not sure if that's technically feasible. From the handful of web hosts I've used, I've noticed that often there is functionality in cPanel that is duplicated outside in the web hosts own interface, and as a result changes made to some aspects of a hosting service done within cPanel don't actually do anything. This is frustrating and usually results in a call to my hosts tech support unless the solution is obvious. I wish that those duplicated functions in cPanel would just redirect me to the right place. Some of the language in the platform can be ambiguious, although that said, I'm not a professional dev - just a hobbyist so perhaps with more background knowledge that wouldn't be an issue.

Avantages

With WHM it is so easy to create a new cPanel account for your customers. Just with the press of a few buttons, they get their username and password which is assigned to their purchased hosting package.
The best part is that this can also be automated so you won't be losing time to some boring tasks like clicking through cluttered UI.
WHM also allows you to monitor your whole server and see load and if there are some errors so you can quickly fix them.
There are lots of quick easy fix remediation available which is quite handy when you host a lot of websites and some go down because of misconfiguration error.
Taking backup of the whole server is no longer a tedious task. With just a few clicks you can take a backup or restore server or just client's websites to the previous state if something goes wrong.

Inconvénients

There are no many cons with WHM. If you chose WHM you are good to go with your hosting business. You won't regret it.
But be prepared that it is not easy to setup. The average person could have some problems with the initial setup of WHM but once it is configured properly there should be no problems.
The only problems I experienced are AutoSSL which fails to provision SSL to domains who are pointing to Cloudflare or similar services.

Avantages

cPanel is the industry standard for web hosting, and has been great for us. Easy to customize each account, setup mailboxes, install packages, and monitor usage

Inconvénients

Wish there was a way to create multiple cPanel/WHM users so that everyone doesn't have to login with the main account. And have the ability to apply 2FA to all accounts at once

Avantages

WHM and CPanel are very powerful and with them, it's possible to manage pretty much every aspect of a hosting server without being a systems administrator. There are a lot of extensions available, and as the user base is large it's possible to find solutions to issues online quite easily.

Inconvénients

The interface can be confusing and the way that options are grouped does not always make a lot of sense. The documentation often assumes extensive knowledge of systems administration.

Avantages

What I like the most about cPanel (& WHM) is it's prevalence. Most webhosting clients are already familiar with it, and there's plenty of documentation available, so it makes for a smooth experience for clients and admins alike.

Inconvénients

The recent change in their pricing tiers.

Avantages

A feature-rich piece of software for managing hosting reseller accounts and running multiple cPanels. I've used this from day one of my freelance web design career and have not been disappointed. WHM makes it a breeze to run and maintain multiple hosting accounts.

Inconvénients

No issues, I've never had a crash with or needed to contact either WHM or my hosting providers support with any issues

Avantages

Features that allow us to quickly deploy Wordpress, Joomla, etc... Very easy to understand and everything is at your fingertips

Inconvénients

WHM can be a bit challenging at first until you get used to the UI. An update to the UI or additional features such as letting you remove or add accounts from the same button.link would be nivr, but just a quibble, the existing intetace does everything you need efficiently

Avantages

Everything about cPanel is so cool! Like I get so many apps like Softaculous and that helps when it comes to installing or setting up CMS software I am not really familiar with.

I also love the fact that I can set up email accounts directly and get set up instructions for my devices. cPanel is really one of the best!

Inconvénients

I've been using cPanel for years and I still can't find anything wrong with it really. Talk about perfection, hehehe 😃

Avantages

If i have to choose a simple phrase to describe them, it would be "feature rich". There's nothing you can't accomplish when it comes to managing hosting accounts, in large scale or individually, using these products. It's like a perfect couple that fulfill each other.

Inconvénients

Particularly, the update/changelog notices/management can be better in order to be aware of what has exactly changed and prepare for it in advance.
