The first impression of cPanel's control panel can be expressed as basic. Nothing fancy or flashy; a simple interface with several icons representing the control panel's functions. This is also the reason why cPanel has grown to become such a popular and frequently used control panel by web hosts. What you get is exactly what you need to manage domains, emails, ftp file upload, server storage, and stats. One of the greatest functions offered by cPanel are service scripts allowing users to easily install blogs, CMS and more, plus other functions like clocks, counters, etc.
Video tutorials and Wizards
