Without cPanel, it would be quite difficult to manage your server. You would need advanced technical knowledge to perform fairly simple tasks. Unless you are willing to spend time understanding how the command line works, you will find it very difficult to manage your server or even open a website.
cPanel is one of the most widely used control panels in the hosting space. It is commonly used on shared hosting plans, but you will also find it on a variety of other hosting styles. However, when you access more advanced forms of hosting, such as WordPress managed hosting, VPS and cloud hosting, you'll typically find a custom control panel.
cPanel helps beginners to manage their server environments without too much of a learning curve. The feature set can be a bit overwhelming for beginners, but performing certain tasks to launch your site is fairly straightforward.
The benefits of using cPanel with HOST
When you're trying to get started online, you want it to be a simple process. Unfortunately, many hosts make managing your server and setting up your website more complicated than it needs to be. Fortunately, HOST is equipped with a cPanel for beginners.
It's very easy to get started, but it's also equipped with more advanced features for full server control and customization.
These are some of the major benefits of using HOST cPanel:
- It is easy to use and learn
Trying to manage your own server and launch your website would be an almost impossible task if you don't have the right programming skills and experience.
But, with cPanel, you literally just have to find the right application, click on it and let the software do its thing.
Running the basic applications to get your website up, online and built takes just a couple of clicks. Managing your server files and installing additional server scripts will require more work, but no task is too difficult to perform in cPanel.
- It can save you time and money
Managing, updating and running your own server takes time and money. With cPanel, doing all these tasks is as simple as a couple of clicks, but without this tool, your only option would be to pay a developer. Or, invest a lot of time in learning these skills yourself.
Instead of having to hire technical staff to maintain your website, you can handle all these technical tasks yourself and rely on the included software installers.
- Tons of software installers included
With cPanel, you get access to hundreds of different software applications, instantly:
For example, there are software installers that will allow you to do things like:
- Manage your files on your server visually (no command line required).
- Create and manage new email accounts associated with your web site.
- Run or schedule automated website backups.
- Install a variety of CMS's on your site
- Basically, whatever you want to do with your server or website, you will find software that will allow you to accomplish the task.
- You have a variety of support and tutorials available
Finally, because cPanel is one of the most widely used control panels, you will be able to find a lot of different tutorials and support articles that will help you master the use of this tool.
For example, the HOST knowledge base has hundreds of support articles that will help you solve any problems you may be experiencing with cPanel.
