What's so great about cPanel 11?

cPanel as a whole is one of the more popular control panels on the web, and for good reason. 

From the central control panel it allows site owners to manage and monitor all aspects of their site.  The interface has more than 40 different features to help you manage everything from creation of email accounts, ftp accounts, view site statistics, maage SSL Certificates (if you have an eCommerce account) , manage domain names with creation of parked domains and add-on domains, backups of websites and much more. 

Hands-on Web Hosting has also incorporated Fantastico De Luxe into the control panel.  Using this software, you can automatically intall a number of useful scripts such as shopping carts, forums, blogs, guestbooks, portals and even complete web design software.

With the launch of cPanel 11, many new features have been added such as the Getting Started Wizard which will help you learn the navigation of the control panel.  There is also a comprehensive integrated help system for further documentation. The Web Disk Access is a new feature that acts similar to how your Explorer navigates folders on your desktop.  You can drag and drop files for upload and download using this new interface.

The Mail system has also had an overhaul incorporating extra Spam Filtering not just on the receiving level, but also on the sending level (SMTP)

One of the key things changed in cPanel 11 is the faster loading interface and improved design using Web 2.0 look and feel.  You can now close categories for things that you do not use often (SSL Installs, domain registration, email creation etc).  And then move things to the top that you do use such as Web Stats, FTP Upload/Download and phpMyAdmin for MySQL Database administration.

There have been many changes on the back end of cPanel 11 which you would not see as a client, but they make the administration and upkeep of the server easier for our system guys.
