Or are there any others that have not been listed?

Looking at the current votes cpanel = 6 and plesk = 0
I get pretty surprised, many say good things about plesk but none have voted! Is cpanel really that better?

There is also Ensim.

There are others to choose from, Like Ensim, Sphera, HSphere and a couple of others.

AcuNett, I have checked your site, do you think you can stay in business with the prices you offer? :)

Cpanel would get my vote provided you took the precaution to turn off automatic updates on it.

.. This is because it seems that the coding team are all too willing to send out what I and a lot of others would call Alpha code that invariably causes all manner of problems.

Never tried Plesk though so I've no idea on that front....

I think many people like CPanel better simply because it offers a more extensive array of features than Plesk.

I find plesk to be much much better its straight to the point. Verry powerfull, Clean and organized. Plus you do everything from one control panel instead of having 2 control panels one to manage the users and one for the users to manage their sites.

I think the reason for 2 panels in one does not tell that it is a bad panel. Looking at the hosts that offer reselling, they would have to control their resellers/users and the resellers have to control their users. Its two different areas.

For resellers Plesk is better because it is more powerful and stable.
For end-users CPanel is better because it has a lot of extra features that the reseller doesn't (or shouldn't) need in a control panel like submit-to-search-engine, etc.

Plesk gets my vote as an administrator and providing control panels to resellers. It is much more stable, run by a much more professional outfit. I know I can get support 24/7 and I only pay once for it.

I don't rent it each month and hope their updates work.

Many positive comments on Plesk but at this moment its 8 votes for Plesk and 18 for WHM, can any of the WHM voters explain why they have chosen and voted for WHM?

Where do you get off....highjacking the thread. What has it got to do with you anyway?

I voted for CPANEL...but that only because I don't know any better!

Alot of the hosting company's that provide reseller accounts are using WHM but little by little they are transferring over to plesk.
Everything is integrated into one control panel
System Administrator Panel, Reseller panel, Client panel its a beautifull thing :D

I think the problem is resellers couldn't choose the Control Panel they like or install the Control Panel program themselves, so they couldn't show their customers an own Control Panel interface.

I like the clean and professional look and feel of Plesk, and it's much less buggy, but I don't like how it works internally. I like how CPanel works internally, and there's more features, but the look and feel is kind of sloppy. I find CPanel easier to understand at first glance than all the other control panels.
