cPanel is the most commonly used control panel that that allows website owners to effortlessly manage their website databases, files, email accounts, FTP file transfers, SSL certifications and many more from a web browser. cPanel provides both beginners and advanced users with many useful features, allowing them to administer hundreds of websites simultaneously with zero to minimal experience required. Here are some of them:

Website owners who run servers might want to add, park or redirect domains and sub-domains for their hosting account.

The cPanel graphical interface will help you to feel at ease while using complicated commands with the new generation of Linux servers. Putting the case in point, you can install a WordPress website with a single click or set up 301 or 302 redirects just by filling out the two fields, without requiring the knowledge of the right syntax or entire file location. You can view all your website stats--number of website visitors, their geographic location broken down by bandwidth used and the dates visited.

The cPanel World Tour Meetup
As part of their 2015 World Tour, the cPanel team managed a booth at WHD Asia in Singapore. cPanel CEO Nick Koston and Account Manager Brenda Gehringer met up with our VP, John Lee for an eventful feedback session. We would like to thank them for taking the time off their busy schedule to meet up with us.
It's a great honour to have this session with the cPanel team for the second year. We hope that we can continue this amazing partnership for the many years to come.
