WHM / cPanel versus Plesk
WHM/cPanel and Plesk are both feature rich control panels with similar functionality. They are, however, organized completely differently, have a different security model and use slightly different terminology.
For many people who are used to one control panel, switching to another can be a confusing and/or frustrating experience, because the functionality you expect is not in the same place it was in the control panel you used previously.
If you are familiar with one control panel, and find yourself using the other, this set of tables will help you find the features you are looking for.
We have several tables comparing each side by side:
Functionality & Common Tasks
Items listed on the same line are functional equivalents of each other.
A functional equivalent is something that accomplishes the same thing without necessarily being the same thing. Although most items in the table below are exact equivalents.
Note: Some of the features listed are available only on select plans. For example, WHM functionality is only available on reseller plans, VPS and Linux dedicated servers, but not on shared accounts. And Microsoft SQL (MS SQL) is available on Windows packages, but not VPS Linux based accounts.
