For our shared web hosting plans we offer a choice between cPanel or Plesk. These two control panels are very similar and both do essentially the same job: ensuring that your hosting experience is as simple and pleasant as possible.
Here are a few notable differences:
- cPanel runs on Linux only, whereas Plesk can run on Linux or Windows.
- cPanel's dashboard shows every hosting menu option on one single page, while Plesk's dashboard is more streamlined and familiar to modern users.
- cPanel lacks some of the security features that Plesk provides such as built-in firewall management.
- Plesk has superior support for technologies such as Docker and Git.
