Hello, I've been looking through a lot of hosts lately, and I see that almost everyone has a different sort of control panel - whether it be: Cpanel4, Plesk, H-Sphere, or whatever.

So, my question is: Which CP(s) is/are the best, and why?

Thanks in advance!
-I hope.

I personally like CPanel, it's really straightforward and loads extremely fast.

Our clients seem to like CPanel very much. From a sysadmin's persepective, it's very easy to manage, too.

Matter of opinion. Cpanel and Plesk get most people's vote.:)

CPanel for now, but for how long? Things like VirtualCP and HostGUI are on the way :)

For ease of use and the number of features, you can't go past Cpanel. It has my vote. :agree:

I'm glad somebody asked this question. Search had yielded to many broad results. I am impressed with the ease of use of CPanel. I am researching H Sphere though because it doesn't seem that bad but there aren't that many workable demos of it. I hate dealing with the Sphera set-up, I am using now. Its a space-hog. I really don't think it can be implemented properly without 200 MB of disk space. And I'm referring to on a 1MB account.

I was looking for cpanel site, I recall once where they didn't have any and only few major hosting companies had a lic to sell.

I checked out the price. I must say it's steep for a server that holds 10-15 domains. Maybe more.

I disklike the fact that it's not something I can just buy for 300-400$ and load as many domains as I want.

I loaded Plesk, liked it very basic, clean but I wanted more. Someone suggested the new CPanel / WHM. Lots of goodies but I must say the panel lic/month will cost more than my colo center bill.

Is there a cheaper way, H-Sphere any good, I have to go check their pricing out...

I used Cpanel for years and years now... as a user end and not admin end.

cpanels too pricy and not worth it in my opinion......im willing to wait for them to lower the price :D or for other cps to come out with more reasonable pricing....problem is customers love cpanel and many hosts go in for cpanel at the current absurd pricing :(

Not so sure about HostGUI being "on the way".

H-Sphere is way better when it comes to billing and expiring accounts without the need to 3rd party tool for managing your users :)
