Any honest company would do that and it's what is expected from a responsible host.
But there's hosting companies popping up like they were TGP's. There was a flood of them 6-12 months ago, it has slowed down a little bit now.
I looked into some of the small ones that were dirt cheap. They had bought themself a rack or a single server at EV1 or some other cheap host and then reselled them with Cpanel/Plesk. Do you think they are doing any kind of security work? Doubt it. If they would, the profit for that server would be gone.
A server and its software needs maintenance. A responsible host will take care of that.
I don't consider a hosting company that is selling 10Mb/s for $100/mo for a host that will take care of me when shit hits the fan, there's not enough room for them to spend hours on helping me.
So the problem isn't really Cpanel or Plesk, it's the host itself. But as a general rule, I see hosts that use Cpanel or Plesk in a different light the hosts who doesn't.
