WordPress updates on admin panel vs c-panel

Question

Have a client with a WestHost hosting account and a WordPress site. Updating of the WordPress version and plugin versions is available both from the hosting provided C-Panel and from the WordPress admin dashboard. Is there any difference between these two methods - is one better than the other?

Answer 1

Both methods should preform the same task in the end. Because you have access to the cPanel, the added benefit is that you can download a backup incase things break once you update the versions.
