### "Easy and Simple"

March 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

The user interface is simple and clear about each function of the buttons. The WHM is quite powerful as well, it does almost everything you need for a web host machine.

Cons

Quite costly for a single license, but you can always get hosting plan which included it. The new user interface can be quite confusing sometimes once you get used to the old.

### "Many years of satisfied service from our Server and CPanel"

March 9, 2018

5.0

It does everything our organization need it to.

Pros

You can configure this anyway you want to and bend it to your needs. you can restart your server, block IP addresses as needed, place in bot blockers, etc. Once you log into CPanel you can set up all your email forwarders, spam guards, and anything you can think of from the server. Also GREAT customer service, just open up a ticket and they respond quickly.

Cons

I have only found that opening up a ticket is the only way of really contacting them. There is no place to call for instant information.

May 22, 2021

5.0

I love their functionalities, design and API, but i hate the pricing.

Pros

It have a lot of great features and a great design, a solution for almost every hosting provider.

Cons

A big "-" would be the pricing, cPanel is increasing their prices every year and a lot of hosting providers started to move out.

### "Websites for the common man."

March 1, 2019

Pros

cPanel makes it super intuitive for those of us without a ton of website or programming knowledge to get things done and navigate our domains. Love how simple it is to manage all aspects of my site.

### "Great general purpose product"

November 16, 2017

4.0

When I first started building websites and managing website platforms WHM really helped me to minimise the amount of knowledge that I had to accumulate in managing server infrastructure.

Pros

Provides an easy way in which to manage web-hosting without having a deep understanding of servers. You're able to avoid the complexity of SSH and using command line.

Cons

The interface can be overwhelming to a first time user, and to more experienced users, conflicts can occur when not using WHM exclusively as the method by which to manage a server or hosting account.

Make's advanced website management simple. Easy to use, set up FTP, DNS, Email accounts, storage and monitor sites performance over time.

### "Great webhosting website management solution!"

July 25, 2019

3.0

Pros

I've used WHM/cPanel for quite a while now for managing my website, definitely easy to pick up real quick. The UI effectively shows you around, and looks great! Definitely a must have when I select web-hosts.

Cons

The new price-model for hosting WHM is a bit "iffy" but not really an issue as an end-user of WHM. I really only see cPanel and nothing more. Not much to harp about.

### "WHM is a great solution for server administrators."

March 27, 2018

5.0

I got experience of how to control a web server.

Pros

WHM i.e. "Web Host Manager" provides administrative control of your dedicated server or VPS. WHM is also a provides facility of reselling accounts and management. It allows the user to create and custom hosting plans and set different usage limits for every account.

Cons

create separate accounts create custom hosting packages add domains to the server manage features of hosting packages and accounts reset passwords/contact email addresses for cPanel accounts edit Resource Limits for cPanel accounts modify DNS zone records for each domain/subdomain set up private nameservers on the server access resold accounts without entering login details perform basic system and control panel maintenance

### "Most ubiquitous server management solution"

February 25, 2019

3.0

Pros

It is very easy to install and use especially for non tech-savvy user. Anyone buying a reseller account will probably expect WHM to be available.

Cons

Its very opinionated and makes major changes to the underlying OS which are very difficult to work around if you have a custom solution you want to implement. It solves a lot of problems but at the cost of being locked into the WHM way.

### "Good way to manage a hosting machine"

May 10, 2018

3.0

Pros

Has a ton of options and things to do, it enables us to really manage our webserver and debug issues. Since I'm mainly a front end developer, it was not that hard to work with.

Cons

Since it have so many features, they could improve the user interface. But, in terms of funcionality, can't really complain about it.

Cons

It is quite expensive if you run it on a dedicated server.
