Talk:CPanel

message: Would it be unreasonable to post a link to the corporate website feature list page rather than trying inanely to list every feature? There are rather a lot, and I don't think the page would look clean. Alternatively, we could list the most important features or group them into sections. What would be the best way?Xyrael 19:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Being bold... RTFantasticDiff. I removed WysiwygPro entirely, as it doesn't appear to be a CPanel feature. Zetawoof 22:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

text: What you're probably seeing is just a result of the fact that a lot of web hosts use CPanel, so, if the user gets dropped from the host due to TOS violations or bandwidth overage, you get a CPanel error page. Zetawoof 03:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Additionally, going to the IP address of a server running cPanel will either give you a "There is no site configured at this address" page, or a "Great Success! Apache is working on your cPanel and WHM Server" page. Daniel15 (Talk/Contribs) 08:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The EDGE build is best considered the "preview" build as EDGE is used by third party developers who build plug-ins to cPanel/WHM.  BETA is mainly for internal use to test things before they propagate to EDGE.  Even in that case, the information provided on the page in its current iteration is inaccurate as the latest BETA build was 1 day old, not 81 days old as of writing.  Additionally, the RELEASE build is our release version and the default build for new installs.  Editors of this entry may wish to consider using the RELEASE build rather than STABLE for "Latest Release." CPanelDavidG (talk) 15:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The verbiage "requires monthly license fees" is potentially misleading, as licenses of longer terms are available: cPanel Direct License Pricing page CPanelDavidG (talk) 18:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Should probably be changed to something like 'requires license fees'.  Otherwise, it could become a continual chase to update the article to keep pace with current supplier's licensing charges.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.64.227 (talk) 08:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Alternatives/Competition 

message: Based soley on my own experiences i've never been able to have cPanel work functionally out-of-the-box on any FreeBSD platform. This would seem to be one of the reasons cPanel lists it as pretty much for advanced users "which essentially seems to mean it doens't work unless you make it work".
So I was considering notating FreeBSD as a supported OS because it doesn't work on it unless you make it work. If you manage to make it work I don't think cPanel will help you with FreeBSD servers running cPanel.
Anyone manage to see it work out-of-the-box on FreeBSD before I make a change?Woods01 (talk) 23:12, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't recommend you make such a change unless you can provide a reliable source to support your statement, which is unlikely as it's such a trivial topic. --Hm2k (talk) 09:13, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  FreeBSD Support 

message: Those who endure cpanel update/upgrade glitches on the web hosting service which they are paying for may not have such a sanguine view of cpanel.  I am one, and I loathe it.
The "See Also" section does not mention another tool by name - often a symptom of problematic articles.
I must be the only daily user of cpanel to loathe its scripted quirks.
Rank it with eclipse (I used both eclipse predecessors, WorkBench and Visual Age, at work while using Borland C++ for OS/2 IDE on my own.)
Surely when a package is as problematic as cpanel after this many years, something other than a report from fans is in order.
Recent glitches include:
  reporting as "saved" files which have no change
  flipping encoding on utf-8 BOM files containing a single Japanese utf-8 encoded character in the midst of ANSI text.
Then there are the glitches in using "rename" and hitting Windows delete key on a character instead of backspace - one of the longest standing issues of Unix fanatics scoffing at Microsoft users ( I have both Win and Ubuntu portables - the Win has the bigger screen and better keyboard.)
In the real world people are still using Windows - and those people are not only a large part of wikipedia readers but also customers of web hosting companies - which companies are consolidating under owners who have, what - their own cpanel mavens?
Rank cpanel with Adobe Reader which would love to silent update/upgrade.  At least with Notepad++ upgrades I am well-warned and and fore-armed - and am allowed to choose to apply today or no.

thread_title:  free software downside 

message: cPanel is not Unix based. It is Linux based. Linux may be Unix-like, but it is not Unix. cPanel do not even support the BSD version of cPanel anymore. It only runs on RedHat Linux or CentOS Linux. I felt that saying cPanel was unix based was misinformation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.236.39.92 (talk) 08:08, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Requesting rollback of recent change as it appears to be an editorial anecdote with unverified information. Unable to make change due to COI. The update has been tentatively rolled back, with editor review requested.

replies: text: It was unsourced (WP:V) information about a (presumably) living person (WP:BLP) and unencyclopedic, to boot, so you were right to remove it. Thanks. Kleuske (talk) 20:32, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

message: I removed the cPanel screenshot as it was of an old cPanel version. Please add a screenshot of the latest cPanel version to the side information panel under the cPanel logo.

message: This seems like a pretty good question to me, from a person who knows approximately zero.  I have paid for my hosting service for a year, so I will learn to play nice with cPanel, but it would be good to know more about where it fits into the overall scheme of Internet provisioning (in the post-Covid 19 world). 77.102.221.126 (talk) 11:35, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
