What is cPanel and why do you need it?
cPanel is the best-known and most widely used control panel for managing a web hosting account in the world. It is used by over 1.4 million hosting providers and tens of millions of users globally. cPanel gives you a graphical interface through which you can manage every aspect of your hosting - from files and databases to email accounts and SSL certificates.
Think of cPanel as the dashboard of your car - instead of looking under the hood and tuning the engine by hand, you have clear gauges and buttons that let you control every function. In the same way, cPanel lets you manage the server without knowing the command line or system administration.
All BeoHosting shared hosting plans include the latest version of cPanel at no extra cost. Our business hosting and WordPress hosting also ship with the same panel for maximum control over your site.
