Overall Satisfaction with cPanel
As a web development company, we regularly use cPanel when supporting new client websites. cPanel has been used by all members of my team. cPanel does not really address any problems we have as generally, we can achieve most tasks quicker and more efficiently through straight SSH and/or other tools.
- Allows modules to extend functionality
- Provides lots of server management options
- Displays server statistics
- Design could use an update
- User Experience could use lots of improvement
- Needs to be easier for less technical people to use
- Slows down workflow
- Makes it too easy for clients to break their site unintentionally
- Adds an extra layer of software to manage
cPanel is my least favorite option compared to others like Plesk and custom solutions developed by other companies such as Kinsta. However, my preference is towards serverless website builds but when a traditional server is required I prefer to directly manage it or use options other then cPanel that I've had a better experience with.
