1) Paperback Book cPanel User Guide and Tutorial: Get the most from cPanel with this easy to follow guide by Packt Publishing. 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.

2) Paperback Book cPanel User Guide and Tutorial: Get the most from cPanel with this easy to follow guide by Packt Publishing. 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.¤

3) Paperback Book cPanel User Guide and Tutorial: Get the most from cPanel with this easy to follow guide by Packt Publishing. I was sent a copy of this book to review as a neutral third party host. I have no relation to the author/publisher or any personal benefit in reviewing the book.

I will say it´s a very nice introduction to cPanel that offers guidance and clear explanations easy enough for the most un-savvy user to pick up quickly. The details and instruction are not lost on more experienced users either -- I found a few new features I hadn´t used myself.

The content is fresh (just recently published this year) and as long as they maintain it, it should continue to be a good resource to readers. When I think of the time and effort I´ve seen users spend in searching for answers through forums and support tickets, the cost of this book is well worth the gained knowledge.¤

4) Paperback Book cPanel User Guide and Tutorial: Get the most from cPanel with this easy to follow guide by Packt Publishing.

While the documentation included with cPanel may provide a quick reference, to really get the most from it you need a more detailed, systematic tutorial.
