The Best vDeck Hosting: Who’s The Best For Your Site? [Updated: 2021]

Yes. vDeck can work with both Linux and Windows servers. If you are interested in using vDeck with a Windows server, you may need to shop around to find a host that provides both.

Yes. vDeck comes with a searchable knowledge base, links to help articles, FAQs, and tutorials. All support features are accessed via a pop-up box, so users don’t have to leave their control panel and can practice the steps as they learn them.

You can select which widgets are displayed or hidden. Available widgets include system settings, disk usage, user bandwidth, domains list, personal information, account information, performance feedback, user mailboxes, and more.

The system settings widget gives you easy access to your website IP, nameservers, FTP address, incoming and outgoing mail servers, webmail URL, control panel URL, logs, document root address, platform information, and path and versioning information for your database, PHP, and more. That’s a lot of information to display in a sidebar, so by default only the most commonly needed information is displayed, and you will have to click an expand button to see the rest.

Yes. By default, users are taken to their homepage, which includes all of the programs and settings available to you. However, if you prefer to go directly to a specific section, such as website tools, you can customize your control panel to go there upon login.

No. While many features will remain the same, such as the look and feel, email and FTP management, and billing tools, each hosting provider will offer their own selection of website development tools, one-click installations, database management services, and more. While a good control panel can make it easier to navigate the available resources, make sure your host provides the resources you need before committing just for the control panel.

That depends on how you set up your site. If you used one of the provided drag and drop website builders, you will probably have to go to your control panel any time you want to make updates. However, if you built your website using a content management system, such as WordPress, you will instead go to a separate site and make edits through your WordPress control panel. If you used desktop software, such as Dreamweaver, to build your site, you should be able to make edits directly from that program.

Yes. You can send system notifications and have them displayed for users in the top-right corner of their control panel.

Navigating between sections is a cinch, provided you remember there are multiple ways to get everywhere. When you first log in, you’re taken to the home screen, which includes categorized icons for every feature, setting, and installed application. Simply scroll down until you find the program you want, click it, and you’re on your way. Once you leave the main page, or if you change the main page, you can instead use the tabs at the top to search through each category. Every icon listed on the home screen is also represented in the top tabs. There is even a shortcut list on the top-right, in case two ways of getting everywhere just isn’t enough for you.
