| How cPanel Can Benefit Your Hosting Business |
|
cPanel is a management tool designed for commercial web hosting services. cPanel is considered much more user-friendly than other programs that provide similar services, such as Plesk and Ensim, because of the easy-to-use graphic interface hosts use to manage accounts. The competitors mostly use a command-line environment that is much harder to navigate.

There are two sides to cPanel: WHM (Web Host Manager) for your hosting business, and cPanel itself for individual websites you’re hosting. WHM allows the host to administer individual accounts and maintain the system through the simple graphic interface. cPanel also allows end users (your individual web accounts) to manage MySQL databases, create FTP accounts, create mailing lists, and set up email forwarding.

The program also offers add-ons that must be purchased separately, but which can be very useful. These include Fantastico, a program that installs several open-source codes that allow you to run forums and discussion boards, image galleries, live auctions, blogs, live-help chat and help-desk centers, and several powerful shopping-cart programs.

cPanel is a particularly good choice for those new to the web hosting business, due to its ease of use. End-users tend to prefer it as well for the same reason.
