cPanel is one of the Best Control panel. Both has its own features Plesk supports both Linux and windows. It comes with new editions at very low price. After cPanel , Plesk is most popular.
Ok,thanks,i think cpanel is more popular so far. Then how about the price, are they the same? Ok thanks,then i also wanna know does cpanel support both Linux and windows too ?
None! all panels suck. They are not neccesary, they create holes and they consume resources, so I suggest you to ditch them all and configure the system yourself. It will save you work.
If you have the tech know how then I would say yes to ditching a control panel. Although It's nice to have some form of a GUI. cPanel is the best hands down. A hard number two would be virtual/webmin which are free and have awesome custom themes.
I'm with @HostWinds_Jesse in that if you have the technical abilities then just forget about using a control panel. If not then cPanel is the easiest and best IMO out of the ones I have tried on the different platforms. There is also lots of information around the web about cPanel, so if you are going to use one, that's a big plus.
I USED to be huge PLESK LUVER - Then I discovered that so much ram LEAKS sometimes in the management side of things on PLESK. So, I kinda really like Cpanel now. DISCALIMER = I did use PLESK for 11 years before switching - and kinda still like it
I just recently was using virtualmin on one of my VPS and switched to cPanel/whm because of how difficult it is for me to change. lol I've always used cPanel so paying 12$ extra a month doesn't bother me.
cPanel does a great job at working out all the potential errors you might encounter while using a control panel, and then explaining them very well. I'm working on a marketplace website that I hope to have open by the end of next month. But I tried using Sentora for the control panel, and no, that failed so bad. I just paid the fee and with 30 mins everything was working smoothly.
