That's exactly it, dedicated or not you want to be able to add an email or set up a database, or even throw a new account up in 5 seconds. Even the biggest newbie in the world can do all of this with CPanel or Direct Admin. We always push cpanel even on our dedicated servers, it's more secure and simple. Two things I think anyone can appreciate. Companies that don't use it much have to pay a hefty price to use it, so... a lot of people will bash it to save face. Check it out and make your own decision of what you like and trust, here is there site:
www.cpanel.net
Keep in mind there is a lot of buddy talk around here instead of real information. Notice people always say what's bad but hardly ever say "why" something is good. These are just sheep trying to hook a friend up. Nothing wrong with it other you will not get the right information.
Cpanel "is" more bloated then Direct Admin but in turn it is also more functional. Cpanel is also used a lot more and has auto nightly updated on security and software. It's really handy to have a huge company with the right resources making sure your server is secure everyday from outdated "software".
Anyways good luck, from what I have heard these are all good companies that assume has been around for a while.
