  2. cPanel Features

     

    To the client, cPanel provides front-ends for a number of common operations, including the management of Pretty Good Privacy|PGP keys, crontab tasks, mail and file transfer protocol|FTP accounts, and mailing lists.

    Several add-ons exist for an additional fee, the most notable being Fantastico which is a bundle of scripts which automate the installation of, but not the update of (see article Fantastico De Luxe , web applications such as Simple Machines Forum|SMF, phpBB , Drupal , Joomla! , TikiWiki CMS/Groupware, Moodle and over 50 others.

    Unlike some other web hosting control panels, cPanel manages some software packages separately from the underlying operating system, applying upgrades to Apache HTTP Server|Apache , PHP , MySQL , and related software packages automatically. This ensures that these packages are kept up-to-date and compatible with cPanel, but has become a cause for consternation to some, as it becomes more difficult to install newer versions of these packages.
