Hosting Control Panel
I'm just curious — what control panel does your web host use? CPanel? Plesk? Ensim? DirectAdmin? Webmin? Something else?
There's a lot out there, but virtually everyone I know uses CPanel. That's the one I've used the most, having enjoyed it at the last two hosts I've been at. Prior to that, my two other hosts I stayed at for anytime used their own proprietary control panels. I also signed up for (and quickly canceled for another reason) an account with an Alabanza reseller, who, of course, was using the rather dated looking Alabanza control panel.
Right now, I still like CPanel the best I think. However, I must say I'm really impressed with the new Plesk 7 interface that SW-Soft just released (I don't know any shared hosts using Plesk 7 yet). It looks like it offers many of the features that CPanel does, but in a much cleaner interface.

Bloghosts, where I have my classroom website and church website, use cPanel, which I really like. Christian Web Host, that has everything else I think uses their own home grown control panel.

I used Plesk a few years back. It wasn’t all that bad, but once I moved to CPanel I haven’t wanted to move back.
For another website that I’m currently working on I’ve picked up a test account at another company who is using a homegrown control panel. It looks fairly nice, but it tends to force you to do things its way and hence I don’t think I’ll be hosting the site there.
