[frame align=”left”][/frame]For as long as I could remember one of my biggest gripes with GoDaddy has been their proprietary hosting control panel which seemed to turn everything that used to take a few clicks, into a mission. I touched base on it in my GoDaddy Hosting Review. It seems someone at GoDaddy may have read it since they have revamped the GoDaddy Linux Web hosting lineup, with the addition of cPanel, the popular, (and my favorite), Web hosting management software. The addition of cPanel also brings about another great change – the introduction of CloudLinux.
“After studying the market and our customer needs, we went to work with cPanel and CloudLinux to create an optimized solution that provides a market-leading customer experience.”
cPanel enables users to quickly and easily manage a number of potentially-complicated items on a web hosting account, including managing MySQL databases, adding domain names, installing applications, tracking stats and setting up Cron jobs. The beauty of it all is that everything is readily accessible and requires a mere few mouse clicks to perform. A significant step up from the old days when you had to launch the GoDaddy Domain Manager to modify the DNS Zone and then go into the Hosting Manager to create an FTP account.
