What is the Difference between cPanel and AMP?
When we first started, there was cPanel. cPanel allows you to control your hosting account. This includes:
- Creating email addresses / email forwarders / autoresponders
- Creating mysql databases
- Creating and uploading files using the File Manager
- ... and much, much more!
This is a screenshot of what your cPanel looks like:
What cPanel does not allow you to do is more basic account functions. This is where your Account Management Comes into play. Your AMP (Account Management Panel) allows you to:
- Register new domain names
- Update Domain Whois Details
- Purchase SSL Certificates
- ... and much, much more!
This is a screenshot of what your AMP looks like:
Another great thing about AMP is that it includes Quick Links, which help guide you in the right direction for many tasks. For example, if you use Quicklinks within your AMP, it will eventually take you to the "Create Email Addresses" page within cPanel.
