It is hard to believe there was actually a time when developers and server administrators were forced to utilize shell commands and complex configuration files. To accomplish simple tasks like setting up an email account.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thankfully, in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s industry, all these tasks can be achieved with ease thanks to controlling panel software. Even though most of these applications strive for the same goals, no two control panels are alike. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s take a closer look at some of the most popular options you have for your dedicated server.<\/p>\n
cPanel is the most popular control panel on the market, beloved for its simple interface and powerful features. The capabilities of the software range from mundane tasks. Such as adding a new user account, to more complicated processes like backing up an entire domain. Although it is primarily designed for Linux-based servers, cPanel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s developers are currently working on versions that will be compatible with the Microsoft IIS server and Windows platform.<\/p>\n
The Plesk control panel supports both Linux and Windows servers<\/a>, giving it a competitive edge over cPanel. What many users like about the software is that it offers a default interface quite similar to Windows XP. Making it easier to use for those familiar with this OS environment. Plesk is very capable, offering the ability to manage web servers like Apache and IIS, as well as database servers such as MySQL and SQL Server. Though friendly to the end-user, Plesk has a reputation of being more complex for server administrators.<\/p>\n These are just a few of the popular control panel options you have for your dedicated server. Whether you prefer the software mentioned here or another, be sure to check with the hosting provider regarding the administrative panel offered before you sign up.<\/p>\n ServerPronto offers affordable and secure dedicated servers<\/a> and cloud<\/a> hosting service packages.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is hard to believe there was actually a time when developers and server administrators were forced to utilize shell commands and complex configuration files.
