Anyone who manages numerous websites for their customers needs a powerful configuration tool that is clearly designed and simplifies complex tasks. One such tool is cPanel, which comes standard with many shared hosting solutions. This is also the case with Host Europe with the cPanel hosting products. With cPanel you can manage files and databases, set up email accounts and cron jobs, configure individual PHP versions and much more. In this article you can find out what experts and users say about the advantages of the tool.

A user-friendly and flexible configuration tool

Be it WordPress, Joomla, Magento or any other popular content management system, cPanel is compatible with all of these installations. With the graphical user interface, you can perform complex tasks such as backups or system maintenance in just a few steps and even automate them using cron jobs. The big advantage for agencies and service providers: You can manage several customer websites at the same time via a single access and can, for example, select the right PHP version for each project.

In addition, there are numerous add-ons and extensions available for cPanel that you can set up if required. It is the ideal platform for web developers as well as small to medium-sized businesses. Beginners with little technical knowledge find their way around just as quickly as professionals.

Experts appreciate the ease of managing websites

cPanel has been on the market since 1996 and has been continuously improved and expanded. Today it is one of the most popular website configuration tools in the world. Experts and users therefore had sufficient time to use the software and put it up for discussion. For example, Joe Warnimont appreciates the ease of use: whether for file management, administration of domains or security settings such as passwords. On the blog Themeisle he writes:

“cPanel has the navigation, buttons, links and graphics needed to make hosting and file management more 'human' or understandable. Without the help of cPanel, only those with advanced technical skills could manage a server or website.” Joe Warnimont

Orana Velarde speaks out on the Elegant Themes blog similar:

“Using cPanel is not too complicated. This web-based configuration tool for web developers, managers, and designers doesn't have to be intimidating or overwhelming. As long as you know what you want to do, it's easy to learn.” Orana Velarde

Professionals praise the practical add-ons and extensions

The experts are not only impressed by the graphical user interface, but also by the numerous extensions and individual configurations that are possible. ApacheBooster refers, among other things, to the pre-installed applications:

“The pre-installed CGI scripts such as forums, shopping carts, chats and website development tools can be integrated directly via the cPanel. Email management has become very easy thanks to the improved features in cPanel.”

In addition, the web-based management tool provides important analytics and statistics, as ApacheBooster further explains:

"cPanel helps to get important information about website statistics with Web Stats, AWStats, bandwidth usage, FTP statistics and visitor data."

At a time when big data plays a big role, this data is helping IT freelancers and agencies to make their clients' websites faster, more user-friendly and more secure.

Service providers use cPanel for secure hosting

With cybercriminal attacks on the rise, secure hosting solutions are an essential part of website management. To make this work easier for agencies and service providers, many web hosting companies offer cPanel as a package, including Host Europe. The advantage is obvious, like Karol on hosting facts writes:

“Web hosting companies are happy to make the cPanel tool available to their customers for important reasons: It is an easy-to-use dashboard that is well maintained with regular updates, improvements, and security measures. While cPanel offers a huge amount of features and individual configurations, you don't need to understand them all to effectively manage your website.”
