### "Best Hosting Panel"

August 3, 2019

5.0

Great, been using it personally for more than 6 years, never let me down.

Pros

To make it short, is the best, safest, most complete and stable hosting panel availble. Price is reasonable and support is excellent.

Cons

Interface is still a bit "old", not working well on mobile browsers.

### "cPanel is the most full featured web hosting control panel in the industry"

April 29, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with cPanel is very good. Except for the high price, I like it a lot.

Pros

cPanel has all the features necessary to manage a web server for web hosting. Further, it allows fine-grained permission control for the users. The end-user interface is very intuitive and easy to use. File manager, autossl etc make things easy. Many free and paid plugins are available for automated script installation like WordPress, Drupal and so on.

Cons

cPanel is very expensive and the price is increasing day by day. They introduced per user license price quota, instead of per-server license pricing, one and half year ago. This made it very difficult for large organizations with many users to afford it.

### "cPanel/WHM is the Backbone of our Web Development Business"

November 21, 2019

5.0

WHM gives us the capability to provide hosting needs to our many clients. It's very easy to use once set up and plays a critical role in keeping our clients happy with their websites.

Pros

cPanel/WHM has made it easier than ever to manage many, many websites. With our constant growth, it's extremely important that we can quickly add sites, manage site/server settings, limit profiles, etc. cPanel does all that and more and keeps all of our servers running smoothly.

Cons

There was quite a learning curve to learning and setting up the software, but once it is set up it is easier the ever to manage!

### "Makes web hosting management a breeze"

September 11, 2018

5.0

I have set up WHM on several production servers, for various clients, some of whom had very little Linux experience, yet have still be able to use the software with very little support from myself. WHM does a great job of keeping itself up to date, and I have come to trust it and recommend it to my clients.

Pros

WHM removes many of the obstacles of running a hosting service, by providing all the functionality you need, without the requirement of understanding all the underlying technology. Users are able to concentrate on their business, rather than learning and maintaining all the processes behind the scenes.

Cons

There is a recurring monthly (or annual) fee, rather than a one-off payment. However in my experience this software has paid for itself many times over. Due to the nature of managing a complex system, sometimes problems do arise, however there is a wealth of information available on the web, and the support I have received has been very effective.

### "WHM allows for custom hosting packages"

December 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like that I can tailor hosting packages for my clients by a few clicks and some parameter fields. Then I can reuse those packages under one page where I can see all packages.

Cons

The web interface is older looking and not as friendly as modern-day websites. Some simply web design could really tie it all in.

November 18, 2022

### "Great Backend interface for Web hosting"

July 8, 2021

5.0

I'm web and graphic designer for more than 20 years, and I had been using cpanel almost since it's conception. I have seen it grow and evolve. And I consider myself a loyal user of their product.

Pros

Easy of use and great & comprensible access to sometime complex functions of the webserver and backend in general. For me, it is the golden standard of usability in a complex app environment.

Cons

It could be expensive for a non massive or retail app. Like having it in your own home brew web server.

### "Absolutely amazing webhosting management software"

October 3, 2019

5.0

This was our first option when we were starting our hosting services and it was just a great option such that it just became the only option, it's so great and has made managing accounts a breeze, this is definitely a great piece of software worth the money

Pros

I think the API is by far the best of this software, it allows a great deal of automation. The documentation is just so great and so detailed you probably won't get lost for both basic usage and API calls The User Interface is clean, you don't get overwhelmed which makes it easy to use.

Cons

Feature are split between multiple API versions, it'd be great if all those things could be consolidated to just one version that requires one method of calling that would definitely make life easier. It your internet connection is weak you may keep getting logged out

### "The best option for basic needs"

January 9, 2022

4.0

It is a clear view, and I like it showed everything according to some arrangement in rows and columns and that the display of functions is like icons. It's suitable for the start.

Pros

If you use cPanel just to deal with primary purposes, that's all you need. It has options for almost everything that you ever need for managing your space on the web. You can deal with emails and backup everything in just a few clicks. I like the control that cPanel gives to their customers.

Cons

For advanced control, it's better to switch on something like Plesk. If you figure out that your needs are bigger than options from cPanel you can always grow with some alternatives with more features.

The administration is increasingly simple, the sites are increasingly customizable and it is less complex to make any configuration.

Pros

In each update they have been adding functionalities so that the administration is increasingly simple. The support is very good, there is always someone following the tickets.

Cons

Although there are bugs that are detected by the community so far they are not great and they all have a solution.

### "Must Have"

December 5, 2019

5.0

Used WHM over 10 years as an administrator for hundreds of clients and was very very happy with it till the pricing structure.

Pros

WHM is a must have for large hosting companies as it is very solid, updated quite often and has a very solid support system and quite innovative.

Cons

the price shot through the roof with the pricing change which will have hurt a lot of small hosting businsses as well as large enterprises.

### "Easy Website Management "

March 14, 2021

5.0

Great experience using the application,i prefer to use than many other ones because of its flexibility

Pros

Makes website management and hosting easy for a beginner or person not IT savvy. It provides a better user interface for file management and also email functions.

Cons

The email capacity is smaller to have uses with heavy files or data. Then the security in place for email scams or theft is not robust

I've used WHM and cPanel since 2003 - for me it's the best site management platform available

Pros

Once you get the hang of it which is usually means doing the sames tasks repetitively, you'll find it is very easy to use.

Cons

Updates not required so some providers don't have all the features that others have as they are using an older version. Noticed differences when using personal hosting vs business hosting.
