Cpanel still leading the Industry ?

[roxihost.com]

Do you think that Cpanel is still leading the web hosting controlpanel industry ? If not who do you think is

 

[_c r e e p y_]

In my opinion, cPanel is the FordEscort / HondaCivic of web hosting control panels. It's popular. It's newbie friendly. It's affordable. It's dependable (for most common things). It leads the industry in sheer numbers.

However, it's not the best.

i think that cPanel is not the best, but definitely the most widely used and cheapest for its features

Even cPanel is considered as the best Unix/Linux CP o the market I think the best choice for web hosting companies is not to go with standart hosting panels. Why? Because each hosting company should know what is the specific requirements of it's customers.

We have developed a Linux Control Panel - Next Color. It is aperfect solution for us. I wonder if we should release a commersial version or not but at this time is better not to launch it. What do you think about it?

Yes, they are for sure, the most popular and user friendly software

 

[AdoptableDomains]

Yes, partially because of third party addons. It works, it's familiar and easy to navigate, better than Plesk (at least the last time I used Plesk), and generally as good as most proprietary interfaces. It's popularity make it easy to go from one host to another that has it without a big learning curve.

its like microsoft, its the standard thing so its going to be the main 1 for a long time until something comes along that cpanel just cant compete with

saying that zpanel is alright and its free

 

[CoolGuy]

I don't really like zpanel but it can do its job.

:d

Cpanel is the best for me.

:d

 

[Scott]

In a word, Yes!

 

[1rrr1]

but in the future i think that other control panels such as Direct Admin, ensim and plesk might beat cPanel. For example, people choose Direct Admin over cPanel because of security.

 

[Sabre]

Well for the considerable future, it will always be cpanel is the best

 

[Veolus]

I like cPanel and i use it because alot of clients like cPanel and not some other cPanel..
and i do believe it is leading the control panel industry!

 

[HFear]

I would say yes also because alot of people these days look for cPanel whenever they're buying hosting because it has nice tools, an easy to use interface, and great features like Fantastico™.

 

[peterstannard]

what are your views of vdeck

 

[Veolus]

whats vdeck does it have a website?

 

[Sergio965]

whats vdeck does it have a website?

It's a control panel..I've never used it because I have no idea where to get it (no link at their site...free or paid?), and their site is http://vdeck.com



Edit: :P....Yea...cPanel's the best...but I'm sure someone will beat it. I think it's the best because people like being lazy and like using Fantastico. Either that or they're n00bs :P

Supremeserver CP by far the best

Just because a lot of webhosting companies have c-panel doesn't make it the best thing since sliced bread.
I find that Supremeserver CP is by far the best. It is much easier to handle and not as slow. I am confident that even people who are new to the business would be able to handle it much easier than CP

 

[websoft]

for now, cpanel is the most widely used and perhaps the best one i ever used. doesnt really matter what panel you use. its the site yo uhave

 

[Rasbelin]

I'm quite new to cPanel and I already dislike it. H-Sphere or DirectAdmin would be better. At least based on the demo setups I've tried. Especially I don't like how webmail is accessed via cPanel. Too often the mail settings are too f*cked up on servers running the typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux + cPanel combination. Of course many seem to have forgotten to secure cPanel with SSL. The spam features are bad (heck, you can't get spam directed to any proper place), by default the catch all address is on (causes lots of nuisance with spam, so you have to be smart enough to set it to :fail: ). WHT isn't great at all. Still having trouble getting any SSL certificate installed (and no, not because being a newbie, but simply because it just simply doesn't want to work). Plus the controls tend to be very narrowed down for reseller accounts (depends very much on the host apparently).

When I switch host next time, I will certainly go with something else. No more cPanel for me. Especially trying to stand out from the crowd, so that I don't have to resell cPanel, but can offer something different. Right now all Finnish hosts using US based servers use cPanel, so I try to grab those wanting something else. Not possible ATM.

It's arguable that it is the best control panel, but it is the industry leading control panel hands down.

 

[theparrot]

there is a lot I do not like about c-panel , at the moment I am prefering h-sphere, thought it has its faults as well.

so who want to make a new control panel??

 

[Virgil]

I find plesk a more stable choice, but clients seem to prefer cPanel, so that's what I use on most servers. I don't have any major reason not to use it, and so far support has been very good. Of course there'll always be many things to take care of, security wise for the most part, but that comes with the business.

 

[zaros64]

cpanel is the best...
I don't like all the other ones like plesk and stuff

Windows might not be the best OS, but it is still the leading OS nonetheless.

cPanel's the same. It's not the best, but it is the leading web control panel. Once you get used to it, you don't want to change.
