When choosing a web hosting service provider, there are many factors to consider. One very important factor is the control that comes with a web hosting package. You may ask: Why should the control be important? Well, the control panel is important because it determines how the server functions available to you in such a way as to maximize the benefits of your site.

Since many web hosts offer hosting on Linux, this article provides a run on Linux, control panels, the market is shared. We compared cPanel, Ensim and Plesk to help the user decide on how to choose between different control panels.

The first and most popular control panel is actually called the cPanel (control panel of the word). This is the most common type, and indeed, in my opinion, it offers maximum functionality and ease of use. Some of the features that make it stand out is the theme of the control panel is very user friendly and accessible. The current version of cPanel offers a pretty nice features, such as the number of different web statistics software. CPanel also allows you to upload multiple files, the Ensim who does not. It also allows you to automatically install 3rd party programs and scripts using the Fantastico section.

The second type of control panel Ensim. This control is safe, because the updates are very strictly controlled by the parent company, compared to the automatic updates of cPanel advantage. Ensim Pro control panel offers four powerful roles, each with their roles and responsibilities. Service Provider Administrator manages servers, resellers sites, Reseller Administrator creates and manages web server of the site administrator manages users and site configuration, and ultimately the end user administrator manages email and supports site permits allow. Ensim Pro works on both Windows and Linux servers efficiently.

The third type of control panel for Plesk. The management console is a very nice interface. It has a selection of the latest task interface. How to cPanel, it also updates the control panel aid to software maintenance and updates. It also makes it easy to install 3rd party software. In terms of features, easy to compete with Cpanel. Like Ensim, it also has four user levels: administrator, client, owner of the domain and mail users. The downside is that there are a lot of servers pre-installed, compared to cPanel or Ensim.

Other versions of consoles, but the above three are the most common. In summary, the three control panels strengths and weaknesses, and key factors in deciding which account for the difference in price and / or availability of the web host servers.

As with all types of hosting Linux hosting even offers its own advantages towards the adoption process. Here are some of these benefits.

Is not very expensive - the fact that Linux is open source software - is that Linux hosting costs go down perceived. You do not have to pay high licensing fees that are required for other operating systems.

Easily convertible - the best part of the Linux Web site to make it easy to convert. This means that if you want to change the hosting Windows hosting, you can do it without any problems whatsoever.

Stability - a lot of complex mSQL, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases as easily run web servers (hosting), and the matter is that they require the stability of the system for optimal use of web processes. Linux hosting is anything but stable.

Great Security - Another major advantage of Linux web hosting, it is very safe. Why you may ask? The fact that it is an open source system means that any web developer or designer can make changes in order to detect errors and correct them, and also make it safer.

If you want to stabilize their savings and become part of the market that is bigger and bigger and the environment that are getting better and better, than Linux hosting is a really good idea.
