cPanel.
Ease of use + client demand.
I have limited experience with other control panels mainly because I've never had a problem with cPanel.

but i ever heard someone said xPanel and LayeredPanel are better compare to cPanel in term of free hosting. Do you agree?

Couldn't tell you.
I've never gone with a free panel.
I think it's comparing apples and oranges if you want to compare paid control panels with free ones.

I think these mentioned platforms are focusing on free hosting market only. I haven't reallly heard of these panels openly promoting or competing with the likes of CPanel.

Best,

I'm a cPanel person. xPanel I dislike, never heard of LayeredPanel, Ensim is horrific. Plesk is ok but I rarely tend to use it. DirectAdmin is also a good control panel as well.

cPanel.... cPanel .... & cPanel it is

If I have to chose other option, that would be Plesk.

For our company site we use cpanel. For my personal server I have worked with plesk. It's more up to date and is much easier and fluid to manage. For a webhosting company you will have to weigh what customers have used before or have heard of. In that case cpanel might bring you the greatest amount of customers.

I have to go with Cpanel myself. It is the only control panel that I have tested 100% throughout. Others may be nice but I have not found a reason to look elsewhere. So Cpanel it is for a long time to come.

I would like to check out H-Sphere at some point. That one looks really nice.

On all my sites I use Cpanel and I have on Plesk site.

Cpanel seems to be the most popular and has so many tools that it is hard to beat. Plesk I think is starting to come around.

Plesk is really coming along though all though it is more difficult to use but i think that is just becuase I am so used to Cpanel.

One vote for cPanel.

I've been using it for years and have been happy with it.

Helped me grow my online business and my customers too.
