The Control Panel of cPanel

  • Cron job – cPanel provides an interface for managing lists of tasks.
  • OpenPGP Support
  • CGI Scripts-installs itself several scripts for any web-site
  • To block access to specific IP addresses
  • Although there are other control panel for web hosting, cPanel is known for its ability to perform full or partial backups. Some web host providers do not give rights to restore backups.

 

Web Host Manager (WHM)

 

WebHost Manager is a web-based tool used for Dedicated Servers, Virtual Dedicated Servers and resellers to manage hosting accounts on a web server.  It is possible to change the skins and perform a branding from a Dedicated server, Virtual Dedicated Server or Reseller account. If you are using a shared server, you will probably not get this WHM (we are not sure as services might vary from one web hosting company with the other).
