cPanel Origins
When cPanel was first designed, it was meant to be used as a control panel for Speed Hosting web hosting company.
However, mergers and other industry developments kept the product alive and in 1999, cPanel 3 was released. This version has some advantages over the previous version, which includes automatic upgrades and the Web Hosting Manager.
Since then, more developments led to the improvement of the software. To date, cPanel is known to be one of the most reliable and stable control panels.
