### "Powerful control panel for Linux servers"

December 9, 2019

5.0

WHM and cPanel has been amazing to work with. The users just get it because of their past experiences. For the IT administrator, that means less questions and less tickets sorting things manually for the users.

Pros

cPanel has a ton of features, it's great for hosting services for which it is designed, but is also great for managing corporate websites when you don't want to continue with your shared hosting and want to move without breaking things.

Cons

Some of the default setup isn't required. It would be great in the installation process if cPanel would ask the purpose of the setup, such as shared hosting or business hosting, and based on those, it would kind off recommend and optimise the installation.

### "We use cpanel on multiple hosts for multiple uses"

March 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

It takes the guess work out of running CLI commands. It does it all for you so you don't have to worry about making mistakes.

Cons

Pricing models are a bit steep especially for smaller businesses. We don't host other people's web apps or web sites, just our own and the pricing model should be able to reflect that.

### "Great hosting providers"

January 31, 2020

4.0

Web hosting for my domain and even emails receivering them

Pros

They offer hosting and even the the ability to automate server management tasks regardless of where the customer is.

Cons

It is frustrating as it does not allow users to access all files without first looking for their approval.

### "Functional Hosting Suite"

December 13, 2018

3.0

Pros

Has all software components to host a basic shared Web/Mail server. End-user interface is easy to understand for non-technical users.

Cons

The software suite is rather bloated and often contains multiple versions of software that provide the same functionality.

### "Cpanel is easy"

March 5, 2019

5.0

I would have to say the overall experience with Cpanel is positive. I still use it today. The file explorer is really nice too.

Pros

When I purchased hosting from Godaddy, it came with Cpanel. It is really easy to use and well supported. I never really needed assistance on learning how to use it. A straightforward user interface makes it seem similar to the way you use your desktop. A big plus is that it's stable. You can change php versions, and install software, etc...

Cons

Well, I suppose one con is that if you want to setup a cron job, you will need to know how to use the command line in unix/linux. This may be tough.

### "Really great hosting managing system, it's not very easy to set up, but works very well."

March 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Powerful tool to manage hosting environment. If you have root access you can set up a whole lot of things. It's pretty much a standard solution for hosting companies. Has a lot of online forums with a lot of information on how to use/configure it.

### "Cpanel"

May 10, 2019

5.0

nice attraction that gives you great statistics and details for people interested in the website. personally, as a man of statistics craziness on my site with how many people entered with the browser, how many seconds in which section, how many seconds, such as the site has been added to the favorite information is a great pleasure.

Pros

The alternative to professional hosting management is plesk and directadmin.

Cons

however, license fees can be annoying in individual use.

### "Only Way to Manage a Hosting Account"

February 4, 2019

5.0

Pros

The best part of WHM is the ability to add on manage all of our hosting accounts with a quick click of the mouse. You can increase and decrease disk space, cancel accounts and manage bandwidth with ease.

Cons

Quite costly for a single license, only beneficial if you host multiple clients. Not worth the investment until you build up a clientele.

### "Best Software to Install WordPress"

August 2, 2019

5.0

I've been using this software to earn some bucks on the internet creating websites for people

Pros

What I like most about this software is that it's fully loaded with all premium tools I need in running my sites. It helps me in creating and forwarding custom mails which I've never see any tool like it before. cPanel I can say is best place for creating any type of website cause it carries all CMS like WordPress, SMF, Joomla and more. this makes me love it most.

Cons

Honestly I think cPanel is working %100 for me

### "I couldn't live without WHM on my servers, it's so easy to manage everything."

March 9, 2018

5.0

Easy to manage a server with WHM installed.

Pros

I love how easy WHM has made it to add accounts on a server, hardly any IT / technical knowledge is needed in order to create one - just add domain, add a login, click create, so easy. Also what I like about WHM is the shear amount of customisability you can give with the permissions - you can add or remove as much as you like on an account-by-account bases.

Cons

Sometimes the UI is a little annoying as I can't always find what I need to (there's so many options), and it's not always logically laid out.

### "Best Tool To Manage Website server"

May 31, 2022

5.0

Overall I am a happy customer of cpanel & WHM.

Pros

The best part of cpanel that i liked most is that it provides a comprehensive analysis of the server at glance like, how much memory is used, the I/O process, and other parts. Also, the WHM panel allows me to create multiple users for the same website that is part. Like you can control everything without any coding.

Cons

There is nothing i least like in cpanel since 2016.

### "WEB Mannagement"

April 29, 2021

4.0

The creation and management of a website including backing up of database

Pros

It makes it very easy to run the backend of a website including adding any applications and software

Cons

The interface is not very intuitive and one needs a bit of a tutorial to be able to properly navigate through the various sections

### "Good but could be better"

February 19, 2020

4.0

In general is a good platform for small medium bussines, with a lot of chances to improve

Pros

Management interface looks light and simple, very intuitive, easy to provision services and monitor resources.

Cons

In terms of security and privacy there are some work to do, I don't like at all that the admin user has complete access to mailboxes of all users, this mean admin can read e-mails of all users and that is not a good practice at all.

### "Great Panel for Hosting Your Websites"

February 26, 2021

5.0

It's a great software with great features and you can easily manage either the clients websites or your business ones easily.

Pros

I like that it's easy to use and that you can manage all your websites or clients websites from an easy interface.

Cons

It could be less expensive, this is one of the cons it has so if price would be lowered would be great. Another one is that you need more experience using it on a server where you need to install and take care of it by yourself.

### "WHM is still the most common way to manage a server ... for a reason"

October 16, 2018

5.0

Ability to stop spam, lock out brute force attacks and ensure the smooth running of my client's websites and email is a life saver.

Pros

The ability to manage security issues using a GUI is still a cool feature after all these years for a non server tech like myself.

Cons

The learning curve is steep but much more user friendly than Plesk.

I will continue to use and depend on cPanel as my server management provider. They always seem to be very reliable and have great customer service if I ever need to talk to someone.

Pros

Easy to see and navigate where all my tools are.

Cons

Some features require a previous knowledge so there aren't a whole lot of step by step instructions.
