The Best cPanel Alternatives In 2021

1

cPanel

Most cPanel alternatives come with basic features like FTP, databases, and domain management. However, not all options might include the feature set that you rely on. For example, some cPanel alternatives don’t have email functionality. While this isn’t a deal-breaker in most cases, since you can use third-party software or plugins to enable the features you want, this is certainly something to keep in mind.
