Great hosting dashboard, sadly being strangled by its new investment fund owners.
What do you like best about the product?
Everything! I've been using cPanel based hosting for my whole career and, once you add a modern skin to it, it's ideal and easy to use. Hosting providers have found ways to customise it and features of their own, technology's like Let's Encrypt's free SSL solutions have been easily integrated. It's a wonderful catch all and expandable solution to manage everything from hosting - from quick software installs via Fantastico and Softaculous to managing more complex things like DNS/MX records or jumping into a SQL database for some manual alterations. cPanel has really managed it all over the years.
What do you dislike about the product?
In 2019 cPanel was bought by an investment firm, Oakley Capital. They proceeded to massively increase the price that they charge hosting companies for each installation of cPanel - it can work out to a 1000% prise rise. So far the hosts I used have absorbed this cost but it's not sustainable. Other hosts like SiteGround have dumped cPanel are going to the effort of creating their own proprietary hosting dashboards from scratch - a noble goal but one that will create fragmentation and make it harder just to easily migrate hosting by moving a whole cPanel backup.
Forget Plesk as an alternative, the same price gouging investment company owns them too. It would be great to see hosts worldwide pool their resources and move to a "Linus organisation style" free and open source alternative. Some already exist but the don't have sufficient weight behind them to take them to the next level.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can't remember a time before cPanel! I'm quite sure that I've been using it for my whole career and I've always looked for web hosting that has cPanel support. Sadly that now has to change.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Previously I would always recommend cPanel based hosting, however with the 1000% price hike placed on hosting providers, that cost will either be passed on or providers will switch to other hosting dashboard software or, like Siteground, create their own.
To those considering cPanel since it was taken over in 2019 by Oakley Capital, I say that you should no longer consider it the deciding factor when picking hosting.

Best Linux-based Web Hosting Control Panel
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about cPanel is its intuitive, neatly organized interface that makes it very easy for users to use even if it's your first time interacting with cPanel.
In addition, the greatest benefit that cPanel brings is that helps users save a lot of time in hosting management. In the past, when there was no cPanel, users had to manage hosting based on command lines, very time consuming as well as requiring users to have an expert in the field of computers. But now, with cPanel, even a normal user can control and manage website and hosting easily.
Besides, currently cPanel is a famous brand in the field of hosting management, it is trusted by many organizations in the world, the security of cPanel is also very high, helping customers feel secure to use without having to worry about anything.

What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like most about cPanel because its price is quite expensive for small businesses or startup businesses.
In addition, if you are just a newcomer to hosting management, the large number of features that cPanel offers can make you confused for the first time.
As mentioned above, cPanel is very easy to use, but also requires users to have a certain knowledge about hosting as well as the server, because a single mistake can make your website no longer work.

I use cPanel to manage some hosting for my websites. It saves me a lot of time and effort in hosting management. cPanel offers a lot of great features, making it possible for me to edit almost anything I want.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In general, cPanel is still a very good tool in hosting management. I strongly believe in cPanel and encourage anyone who needs hosting management to give it a try. It meets almost 100% of my daily needs
“cPanel – Secure Site Management”
What do you like best about the product?
I like using cPanel because it is user friendly, well-structured and highly responsive in web hosting. Also, I like using cPanel because it makes site management easy and more secure. The other important aspect of cPanel is that it is easy to create autoresponders, mail accounts, and forwarders. In simple terms, email management is made easier by cPanel. In addition, cPanel enhances site security since it has an IP blocker option, this curbs issues of site hacking.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mentioning the dark sides of cPanel is not an easy task for me. However, the web hosting software has some disappointing features that clients or administrators face. The need to first look for consent inconveniences administrators when they want to access all their account files. The other letdown of cPanel is its easy target by hackers and other attackers. Also, its cost is more compared to the charges done by competitors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company, DoMyClassWork has 28 employees. cPanel has helped us in creating emails to all employees with company domain and thus management of emails is made easy. Also, the good structure of cPanel has been very responsive and friendly to our employees. Our system managers find it very easy to monitor and reinforce site security using IP blocker that is installed in cPanel. Last, cPanel’s interface has enhanced our site/company control.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although cPanel has some drawbacks, its upsides are more. Therefore, go for cPanel since it is easy to install, user friendly, well structured, and has a friendly user interface. On top of that, site monitoring and site security is easily done in cPanel.

cPanel, Perfect Solution for your Web Needs
What do you like best about the product?
cPanel does everything. A great tool where I can access almost everything, from our website files, to ftp, to emails, ssl, and so on. Also a great management tool for our web needs as everything is organized. A certain section for a certain group, like softwares, domains, databases, files, emails etc.
It also allows you to install scripts by just one click in collaboration with Softaculous. CMS like wordpress, joomla, drupal, and any other scripts out there can just be installed with a single click. No need to manually setup databases for each site you create.
It also allows you to create subdomains, addon domains, parked domains and the list goes on.

cPanel gives us complete control over all aspects of our web hosting accounts
What do you like best about the product?
The organized layout and many hosting account tools in cPanel are great for us to quickly access and execute any given account task quickly. I like the graphic icons, which help us identify the sections and tools more easily. The icons are especially helpful for those who are newer to website management. Having a user-friendly interface like cPanel does makes it easier to manage things like FTP accounts, email accounts and several other accounts within the hosting account.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though I'm okay with the general design and layout of cPanel, it would be nice to be able to move some of the grid elements around to better suit our organizational needs. It would be good if we could maybe delete certain sections or items within each section so that we can have less clutter in the main cPanel layout.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cPanel has been very helpful for me to navigate through all of the features in my web hosting account. I can understand what different features are based on where they're located and the other items grouped with them. I'm able to access different features in my web hosting account and then quickly go back to other features by going to the main cPanel portal. cPanel allows me to let someone else go in to manage the account without much confusion. I can just tell them which section to go to and then walk them through the basic steps pretty easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think most of the better web hosting plans nowadays have cPanel. If a hosting account doesn't have it, or something similar to it, I would strongly consider using a different web host. I'm sure there are other management interfaces that are good, but I am happy with using cPanel and I think most people would be helped by using it as well.
