Managing your Server easily

  • June 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how c-panel can making managing your server very easy! They include everything from SSH access to managing a wordpress website without having to know about code.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the pricing on Cpanel, while it is reliable for a shared server, it is not reliable for dedicated server. At that point you should look for a VPS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With cpanel we are able to freely manage our server from making emails to uploading files without using an ftp application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you’re looking for an easy way to manage your sever, cpanel is a great way to go!

WHM is a great hosting mgmt tool

  • May 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You can manage unlimited accounts and even offer reseller accounts. You can set-up whatever packages you like and select options per package including storage space, bandwidth, parked domains, databases and much more. You can also suspend an account with a single click. There is even a place to edit packages, upgrade or downgrade accounts and much more. There are many sections with many options in each section, so I recommend using the search bar at the top of the left column. Example, Search 'SSL' and every option that controls elements of SSL will show below.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot to it and takes quite a bit of time to learn everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security issues and SSL can be managed for all your hosting accounts from one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't get overwhelmed. Take it slow and learn a couple options in a section and sleep on it. If you learn too much at once, things will overlap in your memory and you will make mistakes.

Server management made easy

  • May 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
cPanel help me out every time i want to host a website either for my own self or for a client its interface makes it more easily accessible and provides ease of use. The features are lovable and the recent update from cpanel providing free SSL certificates for every website/domain hosting on cPanel makes it more lovable. The statistics and the email integration is also awesome but i do feel like we need more cause i know i ma greedy when comes to features but so far cpanel is awesome in every aspect of mine without relying on a bunch of other 3rd party software.
What do you dislike about the product?
I personally don't dislike any specific part of it but i do dislike its pricing a little bit cause i have to pay extra for cloudlinux on top of cPanel although i do have my own servers making them somewhat cheaper would be a nice hit for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly server and website management and ease of access every time i want to update a tiny part i don't have to use command line terminal instead i can just login to cpanel and do the required job without any hassle and headache.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
By far the distance cpanel is in the lead for production based hosting providers but you have to be quick to adapt the new feature they introduce with every update to make your host a lovable host out of the box.

cPanel is Robust and Feature Rich

  • April 20, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
cPanel is the goto software to manage web hosting, be it individual account or reseller account. i perticularly like the email features it has to offer - it is quite good even for some complex stuff like auto moving emails to a folder, etc. on individual email level or on account level. integration with softaculous gives simple one click access to install amazing apps like wordpress and rainloop - which we have been using quite extensively :)
What do you dislike about the product?
granular controls are missing. especially on each individual user level. if a user needs to set a vacation responder on email, they cannot do it via the webapp, it can only be done via the admin account. also, the file manager is underwhelming for a tool that is so old and so widely used! it works, but the UX is just not 2019!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
setting up and managing emails are a breeze. managing website hosting, be it direct or via wordpress, is quite good and since you have full access to all the files, handling things is quite easy (and obviously risky for the uninitiated!)

WHM - The Best Hosting Platform To Manage Hosting Accounts

  • April 19, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Web Host Manager is the very best solution to run a small web hosting business. It's interface is very simple and easy to use. It's documentation is organized into easy categories, making it
simple to find instructions on how to do any of it's many features. The most common function you will probably use is the setting up a new web hosting account for a new customer, which it's just a matter of of few clicks, and then entering data into a few input fields.
couple of clicks and then inputting a few form fields.
What do you dislike about the product?
WHM isn't the greatest solution for medium or larger web hosting companies unless you also integrate a third party system like WHMCS. Smaller hosting or web design companies should also integrate
third party backup solutions , because the backup functionality of cPanel accounts is not as modern in terms of "ease of use" as one might think. Otherwise, you have to go through each cPanel account,individually, and then download the backup or ftp it to a server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WHM (Web Host Manager) is very good software, an ideal solution for small web development companies who might also want to start making an additional revenue source by selling hosting. The platform is easy to learn, find features in it's documentation, and navigate
through the well-organized administrative panel. Creating a new web hosting account for a new customer can be achieved in a matter of just minutes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Install a third party backup solution so you don't have to backup your cPanel accounts one by one. Allow multiple domains on new accounts by default.

Cpanel dominio

  • April 17, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
very easy management of the environment for your web domain, has many work tools including mysql, postgresql, phpmyadmin among many monitoring tools, uploading files, among them we can see the easy creation of web sub-domains, create email accounts , redirect link among many other things that the cpanel can offer, I think it is a very useful tool and 100% effective both for the simple administration for beginners and for an advanced expert, highly recommended.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like very much about this license is that it is heavy in terms of hardwre resources but everything has a benefit which is that the tool to be heavy meets all the described requirements which characterize it as one of The best website managers in the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit I have obtained with cpanel is that I can manage in terms of working time and problem solving, that is, I have created several tools on my website which my clients can access and simply by making a request can solve in an expected manner the inconvenience which the client has. very practical really.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
recommended since it is the main tool of work for the day to day in the computer area, easy to administer servers, or if you want to be a seller of web services, among other features is the cost, since it is economical and is not required Be an expert to learn how to use this valuable tool.

Easiest Server Control Panel Ever

  • March 29, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The GUI is very intuitive and laid out very cleanly and with the ability to search available functions makes it quick to get where you need to go and quickly make changes to various services running on your server. In addition, it's incredibly easy to manage sites, users, DNS and emails using the available tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some areas that overlap and you'll find similar settings in a few different places which can get confusing for someone just starting out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have multiple servers and I needed a solution so that others in my office, who are not as tech savy and Linux/Unix knowledgeable, would be able to setup and manage aspects of client accounts. This made it easy for our sales staff and support staff to access logs, add domains, and make simple DNS changes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely figure out how many sites you plan on hosting and determine things like the server hostname and DNS urls before install. Changing hostname can cause some additional work later, but is doable. Once it's setup, you may need to update various service configuration as they may get set to default values. Once that is done, decide if you want the system to automatically update or would rather control that yourself. If you do decide for automatic updates, make sure you utilize the system backup functions to automatically create backups in case it updates and throws an error at you after.

Security wise you may want to consider how much of a target you are and couple some of the built in security features with a hardware firewall as well.

Too much limitations for power use

  • March 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that it makes web admin duties easy and automated for beginners
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike is that it blocks everything you would do form the terminal. I can’t do my job anymore because cOanel and WHM are in control!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My boss was using it when he was the only person to work on his VPS because he is not really a tech person
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don’t know how to manage a server use that. Otherwise, stay away!

An excellent hosting management panel

  • February 22, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I think it's great how to manage a hosting with this software, they really do everything very simple and is included in the vast majority of hostings. In addition to having a large number of tools such as database management, file management and FTP accounts, network disks and subdomain management. It allows a simple and fast administration thanks to its web interface very well maintained and modern.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really are very few things that I do not like. As for example, the handling of SSL certificates is sometimes complicated. Creating a database and then linking it with users can be a bit tedious when many users must be linked. Unable to load complete folders through the file manager, first you must create the folder and then upload the files, something that can be complicated when dealing with many files, the fastest way is to upload a zip file and then decompress it on the server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This software helped many problems of file management and databases for the company's own hosting. It has also contributed in giving greater security to the server and its internal management, and in giving comfort to the management of hosting servers, since managing everything directly from Apache and other programs is much more tedious because it is directly on the Linux console.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this software because it is really comfortable and easy to use, you can do administration tasks which can be done by hand much more complicated. In addition, the file manager is very useful to upload new content to the hosting without the need to install an FTP program on the computer.
