| Jul 2, 2012 at 23:14 | comment | added | EightBitTony | @Bryan I think the reality is that many small companies who host their web sites on systems that use cPanel have them supported by the web developer who wrote them. However, I'll re-iterate, the driver for my query is the low quality of nearly all cPanel questions on SF. I almost spent a couple of hours today cataloguing exactly how bad it was before I realised that would have been a monumental waste of my time. | |
| Jul 2, 2012 at 22:19 | comment | added | user11604 | I'm not sure if they are on or off topic, but personally I'd be tempted to post cpanel related questions elsewhere (webmasters.stackexchange.com)? Please don't assume that anyone who uses cpanel is not a professional admin, as I'm sure there are many small companies that host their web site on systems that have cpanel, that employ or use the services of professional systems administrators. | |

| Jul 1, 2012 at 7:16 | comment | added | Lie Ryan | @ErikA: more likely than not, you're running Apache server or a Django application server or a MySQL database server. Linux is not a server, it's a kernel, some would stretch it to use the term to refer to the OS, but it's definitely too much of a stretch to call Linux the server, strictly speaking. | |

| Jun 26, 2012 at 14:27 | comment | added | EightBitTony | That was the second part of my first sentence, "rather than provide cPanel?" i.e. IT Professionals might certainly install cPanel on a server they support, so that other people can use cPanel to manage their own hosting on that server, but an IT Professional probably wouldn't be using cPanel to manage a server in its own right. | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 14:25 | comment | added | Jacob | One point I think people might be missing is what if the admin has to maintain cpanel for a web host for users to use not as a tool for the admins. | |

| Jun 26, 2012 at 3:33 | comment | added | Andrew | 'Consumer grade' is exactly it - if you're using cPanel, you're probably not actually running the server. | |

| Jun 25, 2012 at 20:47 | comment | added | Ward - Trying Codidact Mod | I'm pretty sure ErikA and everyone else who answered here knows that Linux is just the kernel. ErikA's comment is about a fundamental misunderstanding some people have, yours is just a nit-pick. | |

| Jun 25, 2012 at 20:29 | comment | added | aseq | "You're running a Linux server that happens to have cpanel installed." No, you're running a GNU/Linux server :-) Linux is not just the kernel, but also include the GNU tools that make it actually work. | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 18:33 | comment | added | EEAA | Ahh, got it. Yes, that makes sense. | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 18:32 | comment | added | EightBitTony | I don't disagree, I'm suggesting it works the other way - people asking about cPanel are likely to be non-professional, I'm not suggesting volunteers always ask non-professional questions. I just know a lot of semi-IT literate friends who end up 'helping someone out' with a website end up with cPanel hosting (drives me insane, I hate it). | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 18:31 | comment | added | EEAA | I don't think you should discount volunteering carte blanche as off topic. I do plenty of volunteer work for a couple of charities, and I'd expect questions about those environments to be on topic here. | |

| Jun 25, 2012 at 18:15 | comment | added | EEAA | Personal pet peeve of mine is when someone says they're running a "cpanel server". No, you're not. You're running a Linux server that happens to have cpanel installed. | |
