Do you still use cPanel or have you switched to something else?

[daxmercer]

I've been using cPanel for years, but I'm curious if more people are moving to other control panels now. If you switched, what made you change, and would you recommend it?

Cpanel old now, Lots of website business still selling shared hosting with Cpanel. If you using VPS or Dedi then it will cost too much. I prefer Free panel to host my website.

Cloudpanel, the best panel ever

The best solution is to simply ssh and edit configs directly.

We've never used cPanel anyway; managing everything directly from the terminal with Termux feels much better and more practical.

For me it depends who’s using it. On an internal VPS, I’d happily use something lighter. For client hosting, cPanel still has one big advantage: people already know where everything is. A cheaper panel can stop being cheaper pretty quickly if the move creates more tickets and hand-holding.
