I have used different control panels on various servers, depending on the operating system and the hosting provider. Some of the most common ones are cPanel, Plesk, Webmin, and DirectAdmin. Control panels are useful tools that allow you to manage your server settings, domains, email accounts, databases, security, and more. They also provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that makes it easier to perform tasks without using the command line.

cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. All are...ok, but cPanel rules the roost.

I love cPanel, but the cost is becoming unreasonable.:(

It really is, I haven't had the use of cPanel in some time and I miss it, but I'm glad I'm not paying for it.

I've always been most fond of cPanel. It's what I have been using for over 15 years. The increase of cost in unfortunate but it still wouldn't drive me away from cPanel.

 

A few months ago I purchased a VPS with WHM and 5 cPanel accounts on it, and I've learned a bunch of new things, commands, server stuff, cache, etc.

 

I'd never go back to shared hosting, even if it's for one website.

I agree; I've gone to other panels in the past and lasted a few days, then switched back lol; as for shared hosting, it's been years for me since I've used it.

Cpanel is my go to control panel. I don’t like using any other control panel when it pertains to managing my websites.

i have always used cpanel.

cPanel, DirectAdmin, the Cloudways one, the Kinsta one, the SiteGround one, and whatever we rigged up ourselves between Jenkins, GoCD, AWS and ELK at my previous workplace.

 

Also bare metal sysadmin if it comes down to it.

Dreamhost has its own custom control panel.

 

They recently upgraded it, and it took some getting used to. I didn't like the new one at first, but it has grown on me.

 

It's really easy to find everything.

I've used several control panels on servers, including cPanel, Plesk, Webmin, and DirectAdmin. cPanel features an interface that is easy to use. It makes managing websites and email easy. Plesk is versatile and works well with both Linux and Windows servers. Webmin is a great choice for those who prefer open-source software and want more control. DirectAdmin is lightweight and offers a simple but effective interface. Each has its strengths depending on the specific server needs and user preferences.

All the personal projects I've ever used have used cPanel for server/hosting management, and I like the feel of it (as I've become used to it, I suppose) so it works absolutely brilliantly for me.

 

At work, our website management uses Plesk for server management, but my duties don't often involve using it. I'm familiar enough with it to be able to perform most tasks that are needed, but sometimes I find myself getting stuck on something and needing to have a quick Google to find out how to access a certain area or perform a task. It's not too much more difficult though, I'd say.

I liked cPanel used with phpMyAdmin for the DB.

 

But I rent now so,...

Terminal isn’t a CP. 😝

 

Time flies. 🤣

I used cPanel once when we started a forum-like social network project if I remember correctly.

Terminal is the Ultimate control panel :P
