cPanel’s Robust Feature Set Handles Everything I Need
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.
Super Easy Hosting and a Great Website Panel
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
customer service might reply faster - besides that cannot pick anything specific
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy access to server logs
Feature-Rich and Beginner-Friendly, but the Interface Feels Dated
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
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
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.
User-Friendly Tools and Outstanding Support
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how user-friendly all the tools are, and I find that every feature necessary for optimizing my website and ensuring my server runs smoothly is included. The customer support is excellent as well; even when I use the "submit a ticket" portal, they consistently respond within a few hours and are always very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost can add up, particularly when you run out of storage and you need an upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The thing I appreciate most about cPanel is that I can monitor all the company email accounts in one place and create new domain email accounts in a second. What benefits us most is that in a click or two, I can forward emails from an account that might be down or not working temporarily to an alternative email account, as well as access the emails that didn't come through due to the account being down. Optimizing the DNS records on cPanel is also beneficial..
Effortless Website Management for All Skill Levels
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how straightforward it is to manage a website with cPanel. Everything is organized in a clear way, so you don’t need to be technically skilled to feel confident in what you’re doing. cPanel really makes website management easy to implement and accessible, allowing even beginners to take care of tasks that might otherwise feel overwhelming.
What do you dislike about the product?
Over the years, cPanel has grown increasingly expensive. Additionally, if it is not set up correctly or if updates are ignored, websites may be left exposed to potential security threats.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cPanel’s greatest advantage lies in its user-friendly interface, which neatly arranges all the essential tools—like file management, email configuration, and one-click app installations—into clearly organized sections. Rather than wrestling with complex command lines, you can easily upload files, set up databases, or install WordPress in just a few steps. The platform’s built-in safeguards, such as backup options and SSL setup, provide reassurance, while the straightforward, step-by-step design allows you to learn as you go without feeling lost. Overall, cPanel simplifies website management, making it accessible and empowering even for those new to the process.
