Why cPanel?

I have seen many customers asking for only cPanel, I wonder why they find cPanel better then any other control panels?

What is your opinion on this?
 
Clients are used to cPanel, so they ask for it. It's really that simple.

There have been times in the past, that our (Galaxy-Solutions) clients cannot afford cPanel on their dedicated server, so they pick VHCS. After a week, they are loving it even more than cPanel.
 
Yeah. I'm used to CPanel, so i'd rather have it. I know there are better panels out there, but as it's become the "standard", if you will, then Clients believe that it is the best Panel.
 
cPanel to me is more user-friendly than other Control panels. Also users who don't know how to upload forum scripts like phpbb or SMF use fantastico in cPanel. So it's easier for them as it's instantly setup, for them. But cPanel is nice becuase it gives you detailed information about Traffic your site is recieving, and other nice features. :)
 
general the people I see who like cpanel and refuse to use anything else have never actually used anything else.

there are far better control panels than cpanel out there from both the user standpoint and the admins standpoint
 
Cpanel is fast and easy to use and you will be quick to pick up the ropes with it.
It allows lots of control and the fantastico is great.
 
Well, I haven't used cPanel for quite a while. I wasn't impressed with it all the last time I used it (cPanel 3), but maybe it has improved since then.

,ex:File System:to manage files and backup,Domains-creation/addition of domains,Publisher-provide ready made templates that are needed to host a website,Database-to manage data and so on.
thus making cPanel a user friendly website development tool.
 
cPanel is good for those who want to save their time and cost.

Good due to the following feature:

  1. You can access multiple communication podiums and settings under this feature. Other features include flexibility of creating email accounts, delete emails, email messaging, email filtering and filter creation, email forwarding, automatic spam blocking and more.
  2. Clone your website to test any changes before you make
    it to your live site

    from backed-up files.

    guide to assist you in backup creation.

Customers prefer cPanel as the interface is very easy to handle,operations to be performed on your website are easily accessible in terms of modules on the cpanel.
Ex:File Manager-helps to create/edit files and for back-ups
Domains-help to add a domain/sub-domain.
Database-to create/edit/delete data.
Errors:to know website errors.
e-mails-to manage mails and redirects.
Softwares:to install any applications.

it depends from one user to the other,as to which panel they prefer.compared to plesk,cPanels are lower in cost.
 
The new cPanel pricing has led many in the web hosting world consider whether or not to continue with cPanel in the long run. But for now, a lot of cPanel customers have decided to stick to cPanel or offer alternate like DirectAdmin, Plesk, etc. to their customers.
 
Pros:

Thanks @Daniel165 for sharing the valuable cPanel tips.
 
1. Ease of installation and use. cPanel is very easy to install. It only needs the Linux system requirement of a minimum of 20 GB available disk space, and at least 512 MB of RAM. Many of today’s computers will be able to meet such requirements.

2. Access to numerous features. As mentioned earlier, cPanel is rich in features. These features and functions allow users to manage their websites and hosting accounts with relative ease.

3. Compatibility. Another advantage of using cPanel is that it is compatible with different browsers. From Chrome to Safari to Internet Explorer, users will be able to run cPanel without any problem.

4. Portability. cPanel is very portable with a straightforward movability feature. This means that the user will be able to transfer website from a hosting company to another without encountering any technical problem.

5. Reliability. Finally, cPanel can detect a failed service, and once it does, it automatically logs out and restarts the service. Its new version also includes DNS Clustering system that provides for a more robust and hassle-free performance.

What is your opinion on this?
cPanel is a control panel programme developed by cPanel. It gives a graphical user interface (GUI) and automation capabilities to the website owner or "end user" to make the process of hosting a web site easier.
