MustangV10 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 What control panel software do you use to manage your server (if you've got a server)? I use cPanel/WHM. Whilst it does have a price tag of $14.95 a month attached, it's worth every penny in my opinion. I'm looking forward to the release of cPanel 11.32 as well, it's got multiple enhancements and feature additions. Quote
bryce12 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah I agree, cPanel offers great value for money. There are not many decent alternatives available so unless you can do everything from command prompt, I recommend using cPanel. The feature list of cPanel 11.32 looks impressive, can't wait to work on it. Quote
dojo Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I have a reseller account with HostGator. WHM/cpanel and a free WHCMS license. Am overall pleased with their service and the panels are just great. Got so accustomed to cpanel I can't really use anything else. It's got all I need, runs fast and has a lot of nice features to use. Quote
ChuckTesta Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I also use Cpanel/WHM and i really like it. I'm in the middle of researching a build for mine own server here in my home. Once that's done, i'll use cpanel/whm again. Quote
Administrators Nathan Posted March 11, 2012 Administrators Posted March 11, 2012 cPanel/WHM here as well. At first I tried using Simple Control panel to save $10 bucks a month, but it was pretty plain and clunky. cPanel/WHM is a must on any Linux server. Quote
SpikeTheLobster Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I'm a user these days, not an admin (though I've run servers in the past) - if it weren't for cPanel, I'd be pretty peeved with doing almost anything. I have a buddy who's all about command-line stuff and grass roots nuts and bolts... far too much effort if you ask me. Give me cPanel any day. I don't even care what OS is under it, as long as it looks familiar and does what I tell it to! (Terrible thing to say as an ex-IT geek, of course, but hey...) Quote
MustangV10 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 In all honesty though, if I were just running a site (i.e. a forum), I'd just use Webmin and not spend money on a cPanel license. As it is, the only reason I run cPanel on my web servers is because I run a web hosting business, and the large majority of people want cPanel, since it's what they're used to, which is why we supply it.

mrnothersan Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I am currently using a free control panel for my server, but I used to use cPanel on it, and would definitely use it if I had the money. Licensing is quite expensive though, but I'll definitely use it again in the future. Quote
Amdac Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I've used most options in the past and the only one I can really tolerate is cPanel. It's clean, well organized, and doesn't seem as sluggish as some of the ones I've used before. Quote
TheMightyEddy Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 cPanel gets my vote for sure. It's very sleek and vivid. Nothing too much to handle for the human eye and it also has many great features. Quote

Yes, it definitely does have many great features. cPanel 11.32 is coming some time this year and has even more features, I personally can't wait. http://cpanel.net/releases/1132/index.html Quote
