Hepsia v. cPanel
cPanel is the most widely used hosting Control Panel out there. But that does not mean that it is the best - it has many imperfections and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer regarded as weaknesses by the majority of people. But just because something was OK in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be OK now.
Here are the most essential distinctions between the cPanel Control Panel and the Hepsia Control Panel:
1. Domain/billing/website controls
With Hepsia, you can administer your site, domain and billing with ease, from a a single location.
With cPanel, you have 2 different Control Panel tools - one for your web site and another one for your invoices and domain names.
2. File structure
With Hepsia, each domain has its own independent folder.
With cPanel, you have 1 principal domain name folder and all other add-on domains are located inside it.
3. File Manager
With the Hepsia CP, you can use drag-and-drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click contextual menus.
After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager performs and looks much better. Yet, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload support, nor archive/unarchive options.
4. Free bonuses
With Hepsia, you obtain a multitude of free-of-cost bonuses.
With cPanel, the free-of-charge bonuses you receive depend on the web hosting packages provider, which means that you can also obtain a bare-bones cPanel with nothing else.
5. Control Panel speed
Tests have demonstrated that the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel is three to five times faster than the cPanel hosting CP.
While with the cPanel you can get the work done, it's built on ideas from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.
6. Mutli-domain controls
Managing 10 separate websites with the Hepsia hosting CP is not harder than managing 1 or 2 web sites.
Hosting more than ten websites under a single cPanel hosting account is indeed hard.
7. Control Panel navigation
The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel lists only the most essential sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in each section.
The cPanel Control Panel lists all available icons on the home page. To switch between sections, you always have to return there.
8. Demo accounts
The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel offers a full-fledged demo account with only a couple of functions disabled. You can even set up a complete web site and check how it looks like before choosing whether or not to open an account.
The cPanel web hosting CP features a bare-bones demo, which will only offer you a rough idea of what the cPanel Control Panel can do.
This list can go on and on. But instead of simply reading about these hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia CP a whirl with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy web hosting can be?
