HostingCon 2010 cPanel Booth

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

I know the photo is a little blurry but we are here at HostingCon 2010 and having a great time.  This is one of our friends at the cPanel booth.  We love cPanel. It was a great time talking with them and seeing what new cPanel cloud hosting innovations they have.

cPanel (control panel) is a graphical website management tool. The software, which is proprietary, runs on most widely used Linux distributions, and FreeBSD. It is designed for use by commercial web hosting services, so the company does not offer a reduced-cost personal use license. This graphical interface and automation tools designed to simplify the process of hosting a web site has revolutionized the way we communicate with our servers. cPanel has grown in the past couple months greatly because of cPanel cloud servers and the need that they have to have a graphical interface to interact with online.
