Would you guys provide me the pros & cons between Plesk and CPanel?
Someone told me that Plesk is much better, but personally I prefer CPanel as it's very easy to mange.

cPanel has far more features than Plesk.

I agree with BaselineAce, CPanel is by far the best of the two you mentioned as the features outstrip Plesk by a mile! ;-)

Plesk is much better IMO. It's got an easy design and is more stable and secure for your server.

IMO H-Sphere beats both plesk and cpanel, both in functionality, and ease of use.

cPanel has a much greater following in the WHT crowed, and it does have some very nice features as well. However, we prefer Plesk for the following reasons:

1. Plesk has both a Linux and Windows version. One software package to be familiar with across both major platforms helps reduce support cost for a host offering both operating systems.

2. Valuable add–on – Power Packs

3. Stable Software releases through professional change management techniques (used to be a very big problem for Plesk, but is far better now. Much better than cPanel currently).

4. Financial Stability (recently SW-Soft received huge funding from a number of investors including Intel).

Hope this helps,
