A control panel is like the brain behind your Web site?s body. It gives you one place to look at to do everything you would ever need to do to your Web hosting account. You can create E-mail accounts, create FTP accounts, track statistical information and so much more.

You shouldn't judge the quality of your Web host by the control panel they offer alone. It is an important piece to the Web hosting puzzle.

What you will prefer while Choosing a Control Panel for your Hosting (Shared or Reselling)?

We use cPanel however, I always liked the look of Plesk.

Plesk can be quite a pain! But yes it does look great compared to cPanel just wish it would work as well.

cPanel needs a makeover

I prefer cpanel over plesk for its sheer simplicity and user friendliness.
