 Excellent reference book July 1, 2009

I find this book to be an excellent reference book while using cPanel. Before purchasing this book, it was a tedious process trying to find and use other help sources, not to mention a little confusing too.
I find that both books by Aric Pedersen "cPanel user guide and tutorial" and "Web Host Manager Administration guide" are of equal value.
I highly recommend these books if you are finding yourself confused.

 cpanel review May 26, 2009

this is a good book to explain the CPANEL that many web host supply you with. It basically goes through all the options you have on the cpanel. I was confused on what each item actually did - this book explains each one. this is why I purchase this book. And why i purchases from Packt publishers as they give back to open source community.
Finally a guide that truly explains cPanel June 16, 2007

I recently purchased a genuine hosting account after having my domain names point to free servers for years. I put it off because I was afraid I would never be able to understand cPanel based on the info I was able to read on the net. It confused me, and was not specific to newbie users.
Thank goodness I found the one guide that made it easy to understand here at Amazon. It is a great book for anyone using cPanel, not just newbies, and the price was well worth every penny.

Great For Newbies August 1, 2006
J. Ortman (Bend, OR USA)

If you have a Web host that gives you cPanel as part of your Web hosting package [...], you've got a great site control panel at your disposal. I use cPanel on all my servers, and while I'm fairly good at it, I know there are many folks out there who are a bit afraid of it.
I recently had a chance to look at this book (I was given a comp copy by the publisher as a neutral 3rd party host, like the above comment). For cPanel newbies, it's actually a great resource, going far above and beyond the built-in help that comes with cPanel and the documentation on their site (it's far easier to read, that's for sure). There were a few things mentioned in the book that I didn't know existed (I had no need for them, so I wasn't really looking for them), and a few things that were mentioned in the book that were slightly dated (which is bound to happen with this type of book). Overall, it was a good book for users of cPanel.
However, for folks like me who actually want to use cPanel and it's accompanying WHM software to manage your whole server, it doesn't touch on that at all. cPanel comes with a great back-end Web interface to manage your server's DNS, Apache config, mail server configuration, accounts setup, quotas, system upgrades and patches, security, resellers, backups, etc... . It also comes with a bunch of handy command-line scripts for lazy folks like me that would rather type one line instead of a hundred (easyapache is one example, and there are several for MySQL and email and DNS that I've used many times before). I would've liked to have seen more on that component of cPanel, as that'd be far handier to me (I usually rely on the cPanel forums for my info).
But it's a good book for folks out there who are looking for some help with cPanel's tools from a webmaster standpoint. Just dig into the WHM forums and docs if you're actually managing the system.
EDIT: There is a follow-up book to this that covers my original gripe about the book: it's lack of WHM coverage.
