Lilian: Hello guys. I am Lilian. I'm a digital marketing executive, and I'll give cPanel and WHM a five out of five rating. For more reviews like this, click got the link down below. Before, we had used WordPress. While it was okay, but they did a lot of plug-ins that also needed to be installed, and then updated constantly. Then we moved to cPanel and WHM. I chose cPanel and WHM because one, it was way easier to use. You needed no coding experience, and the integration with the front end of the website was very easy. Also the plugins that it had were quite easier. Also it had some auto installers that were very user friendly. cPanel was way easier to install. You just had to have your login details, and you then would be able to make any changes that you wanted to be able to review them instantly. It was way easier to use. To anyone who wants to use cPanel or is considering using cPanel and WHM, I would really highly recommend you to move to cPanel and WHM so that you can get going as soon as possible.
