Nowadays, cPanel has become practically a standard in web hosting services. So much so that is considered by many a fundamental criterion when choosing a hosting. Its main advantage is that the user of a web hosting, often people without technical profile, has a simple web interface that allows you to manage the most important services of your hosting, mainly: File management: mainly for the installation of PHP applications like WordPress, Joomla or Prestashop. Configuration of domains: necessary to link the website the email to the domain (s) to be used. Mail account management: creation and maintenance of email accounts with own domain. MySQL database management: creation and maintenance of database bases, mainly because the typical applications used in a hosting like the ones mentioned above usually require a MySQL database. Management of resources: disk space, consumption of monthly bandwidth, etc.

cPanel is an easy-to-use control panel designed to manage specific domains or hosting accounts on your dedicated server or virtual private server (VPS). End users can control everything from adding / removing email accounts to managing MySQL databases. CPanel is used in conjunction with WebHost Manager or WHM. WHM provides the administrative control of your dedicated server or virtual private server (VPS). You can use WebHost Manager to create individual accounts, add domains to your server, manage hosting features and perform basic system and control panel maintenance.
