If you’re familiar with web hosting, then the chances are that you’ve heard of cPanel. It’s the most popular hosting control panel on the market and it’s offered with hosting packages from countless different providers.

However, cPanel certainly isn’t a perfect option. It’s actually very expensive, which is a major downside for those with VPS or dedicated server hosting, who have to pay for their own control panel subscription. On top of this, some users find the cPanel interface a little confusing, although it’s far from the worst on the market. 

In the past couple of decades, building and operating your own website has become an increasingly accessible process. A big part of that is due to the role of web hosting providers simplifying the most daunting and time-consuming management tasks. Enter control panels.

A control panel is a web-based interface we employ when managing our hosting account and its associated services – domain names, emails, files, databases, etc. There is a wide range of solutions in that aspect, and cPanel is by far the most popular among Linux web hosts.
