    Ok, Tell me what your favorite control panel is and why? I know what i prefer and use, but i'm interested in what you prefer.

    Not sure I have a favorite at the moment.

    I have always been a cPanel fan. Did not like Plesk at all.

    Currently working with a DirectAdmin and can't see a lot of difference between it and cPanel once you take the time to RTFM.

    Im a cPanel fan and have been using it for years. However, I wish they would spend a little more time on security and security related updates.

    true plesk can be confusing from an admin's installation stand-point.

    Cpanel is very straightforward, responsive, and easy to use

    cPanel...its what my hosting service uses, and its what they will only use. Not a big deal though, cause my hosting is less than 5$/month and I can host 50 websites...

    I used Plesk for a few years, only because it's all I had.
    But for about 2 years now I've been running both cPanel and Plesk hosting, and now I totally HATE Plesk. Plus it has a stupid name.
    cPanel rules.

    Its all depends how much you are used to it and how easily things can be done. I have used Cpanel, Godaddy's control panel, Plesk etc). Because Cpanel is most widely used, it's always winning :D

    I've been using Cpanel for a years now. I like how my provider (hostgator) includes Fantastico as it makes tasks such as installing Wordpress so easy. Takes about 3 minutes to set it up using that.

    I gotta give my vote for hsphere it's much more then a control panel though, it have billing, support and control panel all rolled into one. It has a steep learning curve for the admin but the end-user experience is similiar to cpanel (which I have used in the past).
