When you have a website, you need a physical computer to hold or "host" your website so that others may see it around the world. Web hosting is the act of renting space and bandwidth through a company so that you may publish your web site online.
You can either opt for free hosting that is usually supported with banners and pop ups, or you may opt to get paid web hosting, which gives you complete control over your website's content's.
In order to make it easy to control your hosting account, most web hosts offer a control panel to the user. This control panel is then used to modify and add important parts of your website. Studio City has the most popular control panel used today.
cPanel (with its backend WHM) is the most popular control panel currently used by web hosts.
cPanel is able to successfully do everything in regards to what a control panel is, and a whole lot more. Providing instant information on the server and account status, cPanel lets an end user easily and quickly manage their website.
