Web Hosting Control panels Which one for me!
Author: james greene
This is an article to help you decide which hosting controllerAnd which hosting platform you need. I will try to explain the
Differences ,pros and cons of each of 4 totally different hosting
Controllers.
Lets start with UNIX which is the top dog in the hosting
Industry with 80% of all web pages on this type of server
running the cpanel control panel. Cpanel gives you the most
Bang for the buck. Ease of use, features, database setup and
Fantastico . Cpanel comes with mySQL databases that you
can hook up in a flash with the built in MyPHP. Backups are easy
Controls and features are very easy to use. Then there is Fantastico
WOW what a great addition to any web site. Guest book, banners,
Forums, chat rooms, content management and more. Just answer
a few questions and they install themselves .
Windows platform controlled by HELM may be number one
in operating systems on Personal computers but they are
way behind (or way ahead) depends on how you look at it in
Server technology. Windows costs much more than UNIX so be
Ready to pay a little more for space.
Windows requires new server Technology language ASP
and ASP-NET. Helm Is very powerful and full of features like
Invoicing , user control (perfect for resellers) internal messaging
Great web statistics, mime definitions, dns zones, upgrade ability
And more. Problem I found is learning curve is long but worth it.
Databases are a challenge with separate database servers
(sometimes) including mySQL, Ms access, protégée.
PLESK is a LINUX version of a control panel thats full of
Features but a little hard to learn. Databases seem to be easy to set-
Up but hard to locate a path to anything . Plesk is perfect for the
New site thats super secure ,they even give you secure folders
Right out out of the set up. Everything is different from all the
Other controllers, no public_html folder , no www folder all these
Are replaced by httpdocs folder which is were all public file go.
Hpptsdocs is the secure folder I mentioned. 10 other folders for
Everything you could imagine are there on setup.
H-sphere is I combination Unix and new server technology
Rolled into one. Resellers can sell you either. This controller
Is very easy to use , fast recovery on setup , built in invoicing
And branding system, resellers delight but Beware of this
Controller most are non US servers and who knows what
could happen.
My favorite host is Hostz.us at http://www.hostz.us they
Sell Discounted hosting on servers located in the USA. They
Offer Helm ,Plesk and UNIX for any business or personal use.
UNIX plans, Windows plans and Linux Plans.
8 different plans for any budget. Hostz.us also offers Webezhost
A wonderful reseller billing and invoicing program to keep track

I hope this article helps you decide which controller to buy when
