A web hosting control panel is a graphical user interface (or, in some cases, a web-based interface), that is accessible online and provides tools for managing a website, the web hosting account, and sometimes the server.

In most cases, you will access your control panel via a web browser, though this may vary on occasion.

And while cPanel/WHM is arguably the most popular and easy-to-use control panel for managing your website, it’s not perfect at all. From time to time massive security flaws are found in cPanel’s hosting, and also it can cost quite a lot of money per month. So without further ado, let’s take a look at some cPanel alternatives that can help you manage your website:

All of our products are provided via system-standard package repositories (yum/dnf on CentOS/RHEL or apt on Debian/Ubuntu), so updating them is easy and can be automated. Updating both system packages and Install Scripts web applications can be performed easily from within the UI. Virtualmin also allows use of Webmin’s two factor authentication, certificate logins, brute force protection, and many other security features.
