Final Thought

All the control panels of different host work similarly in one way or the other. It works you manage your site and bring all important things to manage in one place. However, hosting services with their customized control panel may offer a thing or two different from others but their basic structure is the same. On the one hand is customized control panels provide for specific service based on providers on data and design to bring the best possible outcome for your site, on the other hand, there is risk in case of the user interface, settings or not having enough knowledge of how to manage it. So choose your hosting based on features of its control panel, your knowledge, budget and website compatibility.
