Overview

Simple

The cPanel interface is intuitive and includes video tutorials and on-screen help. This allows hosting customers to manage their own accounts without needing to contact your support staff for assistance.

Novices can also benefit from the Getting Started Wizards included with both cPanel and WHM.

Secure

cPanel and WHM includes the latest technologies to help keep your server secure. Our software offers virus protection, rootkit detection, and a host of other tools to allow you to lock down your server.

WHM's Security Center allows you to easily lock down your server and configure different security settings.

Reliable

Our software is self-monitoring. If it detects a failed service, it will automatically attempt to restart that service.

Our software will also notify you, via email, IM, or SMS (phone) of problems that could affect your server's reliability. This way, you can perform preventative maintenance to keep your server running.

Cutting-edge

Our software can automatically update itself and your server's software. This allows you to stay on top of the latest technology and security fixes. Our interface provides you fine-grained control over these automatic updates, allowing you to disable them if you wish.

Our EasyApache interface allows you to add support for new web technologies in a few mouse clicks. If you wish to disable a specific feature, you can simply uncheck it.

Extensible

We also offer a variety of APIs for extending the functionality of our software. With our APIs, you can automate many common functions of WHM and cPanel, such as creating and modifying accounts. We also offer a variety of hooks, so you can insert your own maintenance scripts when cPanel performs specific tasks like changing a user's password or updating MySQL.

Feel free to contact our sales team with your automation needs, so that we can assist you with using APIs and hooks.

Universal Support

We are the industry leader in support. Tech support is staffed 24/7, including holidays. Our ticket-based support is available at no cost, with priority ticket-based support available to our direct customers at no additional cost. Priority support ensures that your support ticket will be reviewed within minutes rather than hours.

You can also purchase phone support, at a nominal cost.

At the annual cPanel conference, hosted in Houston, TX (USA), we offer training for system administrators who use our software.

You're in Control

With cPanel and WHM, you're in control of your server. You choose which versions of Apache and PHP to run, which applications handle services such as DNS, and a wide variety of other functionality. You can also disable any feature of cPanel for specific users.

Website owners can password-protect portions of their sites and have the accounts of visitors who share their passwords automatically deactivated. Our software also offers hotlink protection and the ability to deny problem IP addresses.

White-Label Reseller Support

With cPanel and WHM, you can sell white-label reseller accounts. Resellers can have their own nameservers, replace the cPanel logo with their own, and completely customize the appearance of our software using our Branding Editor and industry-standard CSS.

Your resellers can also integrate their own payment system with our software, to provide a fully branded and customized experience.

Web Developer-Friendly

While cPanel is user-friendly, it also offers powerful features to web developers, while isolating them from performing any task that affects other users on the server.

Web developers can install their own PHP PEAR packages, Perl modules and RoR applications via cPanel. They can also select which version of PHP to use (PHP 4 or PHP 5). A code editor is built into cPanel's File Manager for the developer on the go.
