Pros

“cpanel is the stock tool from our website host, so I've only ever known this tool. Despite not being an IT/web developer, I feel pretty confident I can get whatever I need to do done for my website, though I am always fearful I'm allowing some sort of door open for a web threat.”

Derek J.

Owner

“A very simple and easy to use software which has made it incredibly easy for us to run multiple websites for our company under one web server.”

Zoltan S.

Developer

“Since my first approach to cPanel to handle my client's website back in 2003, the intuitive UI and features allow any user to manage a server in a few minutes.”

Daniel N.

Web Developer

Cons

“No MFA on email makes it difficult to retain users required to have it”

Omar N.

President

“Lacks support for managing Microsoft SQL Server”

Chrissos B.

CEO, CTO

“There's nothing majorly wrong with Plesk but of course, nothing is perfect so it has some issues with version controlling and CI/CD setups as it sometimes does not works as expected with could potentially result in not fetching properly from the remote repository and ultimately failing CI/CD pipeline.”
