Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Software and Control Panels : Plesk / cPanel

[Bilco105]

Yes yes, this has been discussed before, yes yes use the search - however, I'm looking for opinions from cPanel + Plesk hosts as to which they prefer.

I'm starting a UK virtual hosting company and am looking at both Plesk and cPanel. I have been a server admin for 5 years and know cPanel inside out, which is why I am wary of using it.

My plesk knowledge is limited, however, I do like the clean feel towards the new plesk 8 interface.

My questions are as follows;

1) Which CP do you prefer and why?
2) Does plesk support clustered DNS? (Link?)
3) Are there external licenseing providors that offer Plesk unlimited + powerpack monthly?

Thanks

Well, I have mostly used Directadmin. Why? Not that expensive & not much functions in it for hosting a few websites. If you're however looking for a panel with a lot of functions in it, then go for Cpanel. I don't have any expiernce with Plesk yet so I also can't give an opinion about it.

just go for cpanel

Hi. I think you should go with cPanel, because it's easy to use and has lots of features.

as a user... my option will be plesk 8.
helm is too tedious and slow somehow.

well....both are great.

I would recommend cpanel, more options and more stable.

I have to say cpanel as it has many features, looks alot more attractive, easy to use, forget plesk!
