Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most widely used Control Panel out there. But that does not imply that it is the best - it has plenty of flaws and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer regarded as faults by most people. But just because something was okay in the year 2000 doesn't imply that the same thing will be OK nowadays.
Here are the most important differences between the cPanel hosting Control Panel and the Hepsia hosting Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can manage your website, domain and billing easily, from a a single location.
With cPanel, you have two separate Control Panel tools - one for your website and another one for your invoices and domains.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain name 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 hosting CP, you can use drag-and-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 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 receive plenty of free bonuses.
With cPanel, the free-of-cost extras you receive depend on the hosting services provider, which suggests that you can also receive a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have shown that the Hepsia hosting CP is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel CP.
While with the The cPanel CP you can get the job done, it's designed on ideas from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Managing 10 different websites with the Hepsia Control Panel is not harder than managing 1 or 2 web sites.
Hosting 10+ websites under one single cPanel account is indeed tough.
7. Control Panel navigation
Hepsia 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 web hosting CP displays all available icons on the home page. To move between sections, you invariably have to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia Control Panel features a full-fledged demo account with just a couple of functions disabled. You can even build an entire website and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to sign up.
The cPanel hosting Control Panel features a bare-bones demo, 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 web hosting CP a try with our Live Demo and see for yourself how easy hosting can be?
