Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most famous hosting Control Panel nowadays. But that does not mean that it is the finest - it has many flaws and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer regarded as imperfections by the majority of users. But only because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most essential distinctions between the cPanel hosting Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your site, domain name and billing easily, from a one single location.
With cPanel, you have 2 separate Control Panel interfaces - one for your website and another one for your billing transactions and domains.
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 domain names are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you can use drag-and-drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive options and right-click context menus.
After certain recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. In spite of that, it offers neither drag 'n' drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive functions.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you obtain plenty of free-of-charge extras.
With cPanel, the free extras you obtain depend on the web hosting provider, which suggests that you can also get a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have shown that the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is 3 to 5 times faster than cPanel.
While with the cPanel you do your work in time, it's based on ideas from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Managing ten separate sites with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is not harder than administering one or two websites.
Hosting more than 10 websites in one single cPanel web hosting account is indeed hard.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia CP lists only the most important sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in all of the sections.
The cPanel Control Panel lists all available icons on the home page. To navigate between sections, you always have to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel offers a fully fledged demo account with only a couple of functions disabled. You can even build a whole site and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to register.
The cPanel web hosting CP offers a bare-bones demo version, which will only give you a rough idea of what the cPanel hosting Control Panel can do.
This list can go on and on. But instead of simply reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia CP a whirl with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy web hosting can be?
