cPanel’s Robust Feature Set Handles Everything I Need
Reviewed on Feb 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
cPanel offers a wide range of functionalities. I have been using cPanel on my website servers for over a decade and have not had any issues accomplishing tasks I wanted to complete. The most common functionalities I use are application installer, domain redirects, file manager, FTP accounts, GIT version control, phpMyadmin, and SSL/TLS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because cPanel offers a wide range of functionalities, it was difficult for me as a beginner to figure out how to accomplish simple tasks and navigate the software. Even after ten years of usage, I still don't use over half of the available functionalities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use cPanel to setup and maintain hosting for websites. Applications I've setup for websites on cPanel include WordPress and osTicket. I also have setup websites using FTP and GIT version control. I'm able to deply and manage these website using cPanel.

Feature-Rich and Beginner-Friendly, but the Interface Feels Dated

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
alot of features and makes managing website easy for beginners
What do you dislike about the product?
Rising costs – The per-account licensing model has made the product noticeably more expensive, particularly for agencies and resellers, and it’s become harder to justify as the number of accounts grows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cPanel solves the problem of having to manage a web server manually.
Instead of dealing with command-line tasks, configs, and guesswork, cPanel gives you a simple dashboard to:
Upload and organize website files
Create and manage emails, databases, and domains
Handle backups, security, and SSL certificates
Monitor usage (storage, bandwidth, etc.)
In short, it turns complex server administration into point-and-click tasks, saving time, reducing errors, and letting you focus on building or running your website rather than maintaining the server.

Centralized Management, Simplifies Hosting Tasks
Reviewed on Jan 19, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use cPanel to host client websites and emails, and I like that it balances ease of use with real depth. It offers intuitive, centralized management for domains, DNS, emails, databases, and SSL certificates. I especially appreciate the reliable backup, simplified SSL certificate management, and quick app deployment. The centralized control means I have domains, DNS, emails, databases, and SSL all in one panel, which makes everything more straightforward. Easy provisioning and migrations help a lot, with scalable accounts and minimal downtime. SSL automation and security, like AutoSSL and Let's Encrypt with auto-renewal, are also great, providing deliverable boosts. The quick apps and backups, one-click installs, and reliable backup restore are super handy. The initial setup was seamless with the help of the technical lead, making it a smooth start.
What do you dislike about the product?
Common improvement areas include licensing and onboarding UX, performance and scalability on busy servers, backups, restores, and data integrity, app deployment and staging workflows, DNS, email deliverability and security hardening, and API/automation, migrations, and multi-server management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use cPanel to host client websites and emails. It offers reliable backups, simplifies SSL certificates, and quick app deployment. I love its intuitive, centralized management for domains, DNS, emails, databases, and SSL. Features like AutoSSL and scalable migrations enhance security and efficiency.

Robust Hosting with Easy Setup, Lacks Modern Tech Support
Reviewed on Jan 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that cPanel is very easy to set up and straightforward to use. It handles multiple domains and private email hosting efficiently. It's a robust platform for hosting management, offering a very rich library of plugins. We rely on cPanel for security, backups, easy migration, and application health monitoring. It needs very little to no technical knowledge to set up and implement web hosting servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's basically robust for legacy PHP MySQL based application hosting, but it lacks native support to run Docker containers and Node.js applications, which are essential for scalability and adaptation to modern technologies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use cPanel for hosting and managing web apps and email, simplifying setup with minimal technical knowledge and ensuring security, backups, easy migration, and app health monitoring.
