I had a lot of love for cPanel back in the 2000s, when the days of shared hosting and self-installed PHP scripts were in their heyday. Nowadays, though, isn't this just a relic of an earlier time? Who/why would use it for anything today, versus deploying on some PaaS, or Lambda, or.. what have you? Particularly at the prices they're charging.

Shared hosting with PHP is still incredibly common, and easy to use.
Shared hosting is still in huge demand and extensively used.
Can confirm. It’s a bit stealth but, by volume, it’s still a cracking business. It doesn’t get the headlines because it’s so so democratized.
