### "As far as I'm concerned, WHM Cpanel is the BEST solution for Server Hosting Management."

August 13, 2018

5.0

If you're running a web server, WHM is ten times better than the competition in my opinion...I've tried the others, and they just don't compare!

Pros

My server that I've had with my host company for well over 10 years now uses WHM/Cpanel. I love, love, love it. I've worked with other servers using other software, and by far, WHM is the easiest, most straightforward, and the most extensive. It's totally easy to find what you're looking for with the search box. WHM also integrates with many other pieces of server software making putting together a web server that can be managed simply a breeze.

Cons

I haven't really had any issues or cons that I've found with WHM.

### "Easy to use for the daily usage"

February 10, 2023

4.0

I have been using WHM/cPanel since 2006, I came from Ferozo and the daily usage become easy to catch for my company and customers, no matter any technical knowledge.

Pros

Since my first approach to cPanel to handle my client's website back in 2003, the intuitive UI and features allow any user to manage a server in a few minutes. I tried Plesk manager, then moved to Ferozo due as part of my VPS provider policy changes. I have decided to move to another provider with cPanel and all suites, until these dates.

Cons

Sometimes I wouldn't say I like the UI for aesthetic reasons but I forget after the essential task over my VPS. It's a perfect tool.

### "Tried, True, Tested and Twenty Years In"

March 24, 2023

5.0

cPanel & WHM have been around since the Web went public and people started building websites I think. I know I have been using it for 20 years! It was the backend on my very first website and will be the backend serving up my very last one someday too I'm sure.

Pros

What's not to like. It's easy to use, has every feature you can need and more, lots of one click installs, analytics, database integrations made easy, plus a huge user base for any questions that arise. If your nervous about hosting your own website and having to do "server backend stuff" have no fear, cPanel has you covered.

Cons

I have been using it for so long it is like a habit

### "Best solution for web hosting management"

April 15, 2021

5.0

I've been using cPanel/WHM for over a decade now and I honestly don't see myself switching to a different solution anytime soon.

Pros

Once set up properly, WHM makes web hosting management a piece of cake since most customers prefer cPanel anyway and are quite accustomed to it. Its ease of use makes it the number one choice. WHM puts every control into the user's hands, all with an intuitive GUI.

Cons

It's quite easy to use, but that doesn't mean setting it up is a walk in the park. Also, cPanel was expensive, and it got even more expensive with the recent hike in price.

December 13, 2022

4.0

Pros

Easy to manage, secured and a web developer's best friend. Functions are modularized - quick and easy to install, manage and maintain.

Cons

Too frequent updates that need to troubleshoot for incompatibilities.

### "I'd be lost without you WHM"

April 16, 2019

5.0

running this software for twelves years over at my company, it makes every step of not only running your own website easy you can then make money selling sites and domains to others with as little as 20 us a month depending on the company you are with

Pros

We love all of it easy to use lots of self help doc and even pop up tips on damn near everything you have a question for. When that fail there tech support is by far the best i have dealt with in owning my company in the course of 16 years

Cons

Not a damn thing keep doing what you are doing team WHM!

### "Il miglior pannello di controllo web host manager"

February 19, 2022

5.0

Utilizzo WHM e cPanel da oltre 10 anni. Ha ottimizzato il flusso di lavoro e tutti gli aspetti relativi alla gestione hosting. Con un unico account ho sotto controllo centinaia di siti web.

Pros

Da un unico pannello di controllo puoi gestire l'hosting in modo rapido, facile ed efficace. La gestione di diversi siti e/o domini offre molti vantaggi e comodità. Se sei un rivenditore, il WHM ti consente di creare account per i tuoi clienti e gestire da un unico pannello tutti gli aspetti relativi alla configurazione del server.

Cons

Impossibile trovare un difetto o mancanza per questi due applicativi web.

Reason for choosing cPanel & WHM

Il WHM e cPanel sono software web in continuo sviluppo, sono stabili e sicuri, semplici da usare e includono potenti funzionalità avanzate.

### "Although there is room for improvement this is by far the best hosting management software available"

April 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

WHM and CPanel are very powerful and with them, it's possible to manage pretty much every aspect of a hosting server without being a systems administrator. There are a lot of extensions available, and as the user base is large it's possible to find solutions to issues online quite easily.

Cons

The interface can be confusing and the way that options are grouped does not always make a lot of sense. The documentation often assumes extensive knowledge of systems administration.

### "A must have for most commercial Webhosting companies"

May 1, 2021

5.0

Pros

What I like the most about cPanel (& WHM) is it's prevalence. Most webhosting clients are already familiar with it, and there's plenty of documentation available, so it makes for a smooth experience for clients and admins alike.

Cons

The recent change in their pricing tiers.

### "Excellent web management platform"

October 28, 2019

5.0

Overall experience is great not only the WHM but its working with WHMCS is extra ordinary, but guess all good things comes to an end as we are currently switching from WHM.

Pros

Ease of usage, functions, extensibility everything is awesome and is well made for service providers specially in shared hosting industry, they also keep adding new features like free SSL and keep the code uptodate to minimalise any issues to appear suddenly, i worked with WHM many times and i personally like the working and and ui to be extra ordinary.

Cons

there was not something i would consider i like least but a recent change made me rething my opinion about them, many of my friends who were exclusive customers of WHM/cPanel cancelled their subscription cause of a single change in their pricing which forced amny privders to either raise their plans or switch, and they choose the first one as cheapest wins the race in this idustry.

### "Great Reseller management tool"

September 6, 2019

5.0

A great hosting tool that helps me daily with my web design business

Pros

A feature-rich piece of software for managing hosting reseller accounts and running multiple cPanels. I've used this from day one of my freelance web design career and have not been disappointed. WHM makes it a breeze to run and maintain multiple hosting accounts.

Cons

No issues, I've never had a crash with or needed to contact either WHM or my hosting providers support with any issues

### "Great Hosting Control Panel, most used in web hosting companies"

November 30, 2017

4.0

Pros

It is easy to use, easy to migrate web hosting account between servers. Makes very easy the life of a server admin. You can manage a server without being a server admin using WHMC/ CPANEL.

Cons

Don't allow to integrate different servers for email, they do that only for databases. Maybe is a little expensive for ones who only have to host one site. Others panel have licences with a lower price depending of the cuantity of website.

June 6, 2023

4.0

Pros

Very easy to use, stable and secure, data portability / backups very good to work with

Cons

Nothing I don't like about the software, but there was some controversy around the price updates a few years ago after cPanel was bought out buy a large VC firm that put me off being a total advocate. Very good software however.

### "Simple to Use and inexpensive"

June 25, 2021

5.0

I have been using WHM and cPanel for years, and it is great for deploying new sites as well as managing them. The analytics provided help me make decisions on what is working and what isnt

Pros

Features that allow us to quickly deploy Wordpress, Joomla, etc... Very easy to understand and everything is at your fingertips

Cons

WHM can be a bit challenging at first until you get used to the UI. An update to the UI or additional features such as letting you remove or add accounts from the same button.link would be nivr, but just a quibble, the existing intetace does everything you need efficiently

### "Managing hosting services with WHM has been excellent"

February 28, 2018

5.0

Managing hundreds of sites is so much more convenient with everything under the same place. We get security, organization, and functionality with WHM.

Pros

WHM can be configured to fit your specific web hosting needs. I love being able to set up everything exactly the way I need it and if it isn't something provided within WHM natively, there are a multitude of plugins/extensions that can expand the functionality to meet your needs. This has been my favorite web hosting manager by far.

Cons

It can be a bit daunting to try and absorb all at once, especially if you aren't super familiar with web hosting to begin with. The documentation for this isn't the easiest to understand when it is talking about a feature you're new to, but the community and support for this is pretty extensive and is helpful.

### "This has been one of the best web hosting management systes"

February 10, 2021

5.0

I will recommend this in a heartbeat, it is so much easier to learn and work with than other web hosting management software.

Pros

Everything about cPanel is so cool! Like I get so many apps like Softaculous and that helps when it comes to installing or setting up CMS software I am not really familiar with. I also love the fact that I can set up email accounts directly and get set up instructions for my devices. cPanel is really one of the best!

Cons

I've been using cPanel for years and I still can't find anything wrong with it really. Talk about perfection, hehehe 😃

### "Good server control panel managment"

January 7, 2023

4.0

I have several clients that use cPanel as a control panel and feel more comfortable using it so I keep this control panel in the server maintenance and management agreement.

Pros

Because it is a very popular control panel, most of the developers I work with know and prefer to use.

Cons

Prices are quite high analyzing the cost and benefit.

### "WHM & CPanel bring hosting management down to earth"

September 22, 2020

5.0

When you offer so many features, you can always fail in the structure/organization of them, but WHM & Cpanel's menus are really clever and intuitive. You don't spend too much time finding what you're looking for and even have a search system to make this even better. It's really a world class product used by ginormous companies.

Pros

If i have to choose a simple phrase to describe them, it would be "feature rich". There's nothing you can't accomplish when it comes to managing hosting accounts, in large scale or individually, using these products. It's like a perfect couple that fulfill each other.

Cons

Particularly, the update/changelog notices/management can be better in order to be aware of what has exactly changed and prepare for it in advance.

Reason for choosing cPanel & WHM

It was always the only option. It's the default go to solution.

### "WHM is a very solid product"

March 5, 2020

5.0

My experience with WHM (the product) has been very good. My experience with support has been very good. My experience with the new owners has been costly and nerve wracking.

Pros

WHM makes working with a server much easier due to having an interface for many common functions. This, in turn, saves a lot of time. Time is money, so...

Cons

WHM was recently acquired by some investment group and jacked the prices through the roof for a lot of people. Even for me, the rate increase amounts to $180 per year. For larger companies it was in the 10's of thousands of dollars and put some out of business. Not cool, and gives me a bad case of anxiety when I think about the future.

Reason for choosing cPanel & WHM

Plesk is not a great product and isn't even close to being on the same level as WHM.

### "The best webserver management solution available"

February 25, 2021

5.0

We used WHM and cPanel to host and manage websites we own. It makes management a walk in the park, as its GUI is a great way to deal with actions that would otherwise require using terminal and typing in endless commands. This way you can deal with most issues using their built in tools and features.

Pros

cPanel has the most features among the webserver management solutions we have tried. Not only is it feature-packed, the features are also well made and useful. cPanel's best feature, though, is the ease of use. Setting up a domain, installing WordPress, and managing files, databases, permissions, and metrics has never been easier! I also love the Softaculous installer that is compatible with cPanel.

Cons

The pricing system changed recently, and it is not as affordable as it once was.

Pros

I like Cpanel, Because it is easy and comfortable working space. I have three mail server and used Cpanel.

Cons

I have not problems and reasons. If I had problem, I don't used Cpanel. I am only email administrator and I have not problem.
