A control panel is a web-based graphic interface which permits you to manage different features of your hosting service. Some examples of things you can do through such a tool are file and e-mail management, DNS records editing, URL forwarding, etcetera. As you'll find many control panel brands, the services that you will be able to manage are also different and can also depend on the attributes that the hosting company offers. For example, you may have a specific option in one control panel and not in another, or it could take more steps to do a specific task. Such a tool provides you with the chance to use a point-and-click interface rather than typing commands with complex syntax within a command line. Even though some users would rather have the aforementioned option, the vast majority of users enjoy the easier level of administration that a control panel can give.
Multiple Control Panels in Dedicated Servers
If you buy one of the dedicated server packages that we offer, you will find as many as three different control panels on the registration page. The first one is our Hepsia Control Panel, that will help you to manage the entire server as a single account, so you will see all your domain names, e-mail addresses, databases, invoices and support tickets in one place. The other two, cPanel and DirectAdmin, will permit you to set up multiple accounts and if you get the server with them, you will also have full root access. Both of the control panels will also provide you with the opportunity to launch your own web hosting company as they have a reseller level which will allow you to create hosting plans and control a lot of server-side settings. Hepsia is the perfect choice when you want everything to be simple, while cPanel and DirectAdmin are suitable if you wish to have more control and when you have some experience in taking care of your own server.
