What is cPanel?
A widely used control panel for managing a website's files, databases and settings without using commands.
What it is
A control panel gives you a web page for managing your hosting. With cPanel you can upload files, create databases, change your PHP version, set up scheduled tasks and install SSL certificates.
Do you need it?
Not always. Many hosts have their own control panel that does the same job, so it's worth checking what the plan includes rather than looking for one brand. If you are moving from another cPanel host, it can make the move simpler.
cPanel at Host Dada
Our ProFlex hosting uses cPanel. Our other hosting plans use the Host Dada Control Panel, and cPanel is an optional add-on for our VPS.
