In general, is Cpanel nicer/easier/better than Plesk?

[slycat]

i'm moving from dixiecrap to some other host and they asked me which i wanted.
btw, i hate the dixiesys panel..whatever that is...it sux0r.

I'm on Dixiesys too, also thinking of switching to AddAction.net (which has Cpanel).
This is CPanel Bluetrix (AddAction has this) (demo/demo if it prompts for login)
and it looks like This is the regular CPanel without the Bluetrix "skin"

The Bluetrix one definitely looks nice. I'm using Ensim right now, and it has some problems, at least with Dixiesys..

cPanel is the most user friendly and powerful but also has security flaws

Ensim and Plesk I dunno about.

cPanel > *

If you want I can create a test cPanel account for you if you'd like to play around?

Here are some good threads to read about control panels

security flaws? how bad?!

 

[RossMAN]

I dunno how bad, I would assume as long as your web host knows what they are doing they are aware of and have addressed the flaws.

I would suggest spending some time on WHT search for cpanel and you'll find some more info.

Ensim is the antichrist.

I get shivers when I hear that name.

I don't care for the panel I have right now with Dixiesys.. Ensim can go to hell.. I prefer Plesk over it, have yet to try cPanel..

 

[thirtythree]

I like cpanel but I don't know about plesk.
