I've been a long time Plesk user, very happy with it but I've recently decided to switch hosts for a variety of reasons. They don't offer Plesk but CPanel. Now I haven't used CPanel in 2+ years but last time I used it I absolutely hated it and found it to be irritatingly unstable. But things change however...
I've played around with multiple CPanel demos and it appears that every CPanel server is running Apache 1.x instead of 2.0.5x. Is that the case? CPanel is only compatible w/ Apache 1.x? What about PHP? I want to run 4.3.11 at an absolute minimum for security reasons but if I recall correctly, it doesn't run correctly w/ Apache 1.x. What about PERL? Or is that just what the hosting company installs and I can freely upgrade to later versions of PHP and httpd?
That was my one beef w/ Plesk was that it used older versions of hhtp and php, usually a patch or two behind in support. Anyways, thanks in advance for any answers.
