Plesk or cPanel for reseller

[mxnhost]

I am interested to know which platform you offer for your clients when it comes to providing reseller hosting services. With the increase from cPanel on their pricing/change in the way they license.

Which one would you offer Plesk or cPanel (is it still in demand)?

Well both are best at their places

Here are the features of cPanel and Plesk where you can decide which ones is best.

cPanel:
It’s a platform that’s more common among hosting providers and is usually cheaper for the end-user.
It allows you to set up free SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt (AutoSSL), but you can also switch to Comodo or other certificates.
Although cPanel runs on a fewer number of operating systems overall, it supports Amazon Linux, which Plesk does not.
Great automatic backups and restorations. You can take advantage of a couple of built-in back-ups and restore mechanisms.

Plesk:
You can run Plesk on Windows and more than a dozen Linux distributions including versions of Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CloudLinux, and Virtuozzo Linux.
Built-in support for Docker, Git, Node.js, and WordPress Toolkit (great if you want to implement some WordPress automation and get additional management features).
Easy SSL integration with a single click. Plesk will take care of obtaining an SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt and integrating it into your sites.
WordPress users can take advantage of automatic updates, bug fixes, and patches. In other words, Plesk takes care of most of your WordPress security needs.

Interesting, we decided to go with Plesk but wondered whether we should bring back cPanel reseller only if it is in demand.

you are aware that both Plesk and cPanel are owned by the same company

We offer cpanel to maintain their reseller hosting account.

I prefer Plesk. The built-in support for Node.js works like a charm.

I prefer Direct Admin.

Plesk is owned by the same company that owns cPanel, no idea when they decide to raise prices like cPanel again
