I do get the idea, you seem not to tho.
Sure they do have vulnerabilities, like any other software.
That doesn't mean we don't use it, it only means we patch it and we secure
the server properly.
If you actually read my post you'll notice I never said its secure.
Bind and Sendmail are some of the buggiest software you don't see everyone stop using it.
As an admin I don't recommend cpanel either especially on dedicated servers, but if
the customer really wants it, and thats what matters in the end, I do everything
to keep the server as secure as possible and not bash on control panels.
