In the hosting field, a control panel is a web-based tool that allows you to control your web hosting account through a graphic interface using various instruments. Considering that the alternative is to type in commands inside a command line, most people prefer to use a control panel to manage their webpage content. There are many control panel types and the simplicity of administration through each of them is different, but the vast majority of software tools provide a basic set of services which you'll be able to control employing a point-and-click interface. For example working with files and folders, managing e-mail addresses and databases or browsing access and error logs. Some control panels will enable you to do many more things too, so when you get a web hosting solution, you should check the benefits and drawbacks of the tool that you will use to control your new account.

Multiple Control Panels in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to acquire one of the dedicated server plans that we provide, you'll have as many as 3 control panels to make your choice from for your machine. The easiest one to work with is named Hepsia and it is in-house built. It will allow you to do a lot of things in one place, so even when you have little experience, you won't have any problems to control your website content, domains, payments and support tickets with no need to log into another system. Hepsia also has the most user-friendly interface. In comparison, the remaining two control panels - cPanel and DirectAdmin, are harder to use, so you should have better technical skills to properly use them, but they'll give you additional control over various server settings and will allow you to host every domain in an individual account. The aforementioned option makes these two control panels ideal for running a reseller business and selling web hosting accounts to other users.
