We’ve gone through every section of the data, from the feature votes and open-text comments to the AI capability questions and satisfaction ratings, and we’re sharing the full picture here.

Some of what you’ll read below is also a preview of a broader shift already underway inside cPanel & WHM: a more modern interface and a rebuilt security layer are already in progress, and an AI assistant built for the way server admins actually work is on the roadmap as a direct result of this feedback. This survey is the foundation that shift is built on.

Survey Audience

The 2025 survey drew 3,300 completed responses from across the cPanel & WHM user base, representing a significantly broader cross-section of the community. 

Most respondents are long-tenure users: 92.7% have been using cPanel & WHM for years, with only 2.39% considering it for the first time. This is a survey of people who know the product well, which makes the feedback more meaningful. 

Here are the different segments of the survey respondents by business type: 

Many respondents hold multiple roles simultaneously, with common overlaps between IT Directors and System Admins, and between CTOs and IT Directors. These are the people responsible for running hosting infrastructure day to day, often across multiple servers and customer accounts. 

An additional 842 respondents indicated they are open to speaking directly with our Product Managers about the improvements they want to see in 2026. 

Overall Satisfaction: NPS Score 

The average NPS rating for cPanel & WHM 2025 changes came in at 28, with the following breakdown: 

• Promoters: 45.9% 

• Passives: 36.3% 

• Detractors: 17.8% 

An NPS of 28 in a mature infrastructure product is a meaningful signal. Nearly half of our user base are active promoters. At the same time, the open-text responses make clear that there is real pressure on perceived value, and we’re addressing that directly later in this post. 

Most Valued Features Delivered in 2025 

We asked respondents to identify which updates delivered during 2025 they found most valuable. The results reflect a user base that values platform stability, compatibility, and performance at the core layer. 

Here are the top 5 valued changes by percentage of respondents selecting each: 

EasyApache 4 updates leading with over half of all respondents selecting them is a clear signal: the hosting stack’s PHP, Apache, and extension layer is where operational reliability lives for most providers. That’s where we invested, and it registered. 

WP Toolkit appearing in the top five confirms what the broader hosting data also shows: WordPress management has moved from a nice-to-have into a core operational requirement for providers across all segments. 

Top Requested Features for 2026 and Beyond 

Respondents were asked to identify the features they most want to see built into cPanel & WHM. Here are the 12 most-requested features by response volume: 

A few things stand out here. 

The Native Firewall Manager is the clear priority signal 

At 46.3%, it outranked every other request by a significant margin. The discontinuation of ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) left a real gap in the security stack, and many administrators are still running unmaintained installs while waiting for a native replacement. This is operationally urgent for a meaningful segment of our user base, and it’s why the WebPros Shield project is currently in progress, targeting H2 2026. 

Security and performance advisory ranked second 

Providers want the panel to proactively surface issues before they become incidents. A unified advisor available across cPanel and WHM is in definition phase now, targeting Q4 2026. 

Backup management ranked third 

The absence of a native incremental backup system has been a recurring pain point. Comet Backup integration into cPanel and WHM is actively in progress, targeting Q3 2026. 

Webmail is on the horizon soon 

Roundcube is consistently described as outdated relative to what end users now expect from an email client. Business Email integration is currently in definition, targeting Q3 2026. 

For the full status of these requests and where they sit on the roadmap, visit: features.cpanel.net.

AI in cPanel & WHM: What Users Actually Want 

AI was one of the most active sections of the entire survey, and it’s a clear preview of where cPanel & WHM is headed next. We dedicated a full section to it, specifically asking which AI capabilities users want built into the panel, and received 1,727 responses to that question alone, one of the highest response volumes of any section in the survey.

The results break down into nine clear categories:

A strong pattern emerges across nearly every category: this isn’t a user base asking for AI as a gimmick. It’s a user base asking for AI that acts like an experienced sysadmin looking over their shoulder, catching what a human would eventually catch, but faster and around the clock.

The single most-requested capability, by a wide margin, is an AI assistant that reads server logs, identifies the source of a problem, and explains what to do about it. They want the kind of tool that turns a 2am log dive into a clear next step. Resource diagnostics, security anomaly detection, and automated spam filtering follow the same logic: respondents want AI that’s useful, contextual, and actionable, not a feature for its own sake.

What ties all of these together is specificity. Respondents are describing an AI layer that is contextual to their server, actionable in the moment, and integrated directly into the workflows they already use, not a separate destination they have to remember to check.

We take the caution in the data just as seriously as the enthusiasm. 57 respondents (3.3%) explicitly oppose AI integration, primarily citing concerns about data privacy, additional cost, and forced feature adoption. That feedback is shaping the implementation as much as the demand is: everything we build here will be opt-in, transparent about what data it touches, and designed so that providers who want nothing to do with it can simply ignore it entirely.

One quote from the open-text responses captures the prevailing mood well:

“Give us a real AI assistant that reads logs, spots problems, and tells me what to do. That I’d pay for.”

That’s exactly the brief we’re building to. An AI Support Assistant in the GUI, grounded in real log data and real server context rather than generic suggestions, is currently in scope for Q3 2026, and it’s one of the pieces of the broader platform transformation we’re most energized about.

What the Open-Text Responses Tell Us 

Beyond the structured questions, we received over 4,100 open-text responses across three separate questions: 

• “If you could change one thing about cPanel & WHM” 

• “Which modern AI features would you like to see integrated?” 

• “What can we do to improve the rating you set?” 

We analyzed all of them. Here’s what the data says. 

The UI is getting attention 

The second-largest category in the “one thing to change” responses is UI and UX modernization, at 15.5% of answers. Dark mode is the single most-requested cosmetic change, and feedback on the WHM sidebar navigation, mobile responsiveness, and task efficiency appears consistently across responses. 

That work is already underway. We’re introducing Meridian, a fully revamped end-user interface that replaces Jupiter’s grid of 100+ tools with goal-oriented navigation organized around six areas: 

• Websites 

• Email 

• Files 

• Databases 

• Security 

• Performance 

Meridian ships as an opt-in theme alongside Jupiter and updates on its own cadence, so providers can manage rollout on their schedule. 

A native firewall is coming 

Security and firewall concerns account for 7.5% of the “one thing to change” responses and 6.6% of the improvement suggestions. Administrators want a native, maintained solution built into the panel itself, and that is exactly what we’re delivering. The Native Firewall Manager is our top-ranked feature request and our top development priority. We’re committed to closing this gap. 

Back to core 

A segment of respondents expressed that they want cPanel & WHM to stay focused on what it does best: reliable, precise server management. That feedback is noted. Our goal for 2026 is to ship meaningful improvements to the core platform, including security, backups, email, performance visibility, and let that work speak for itself. 

What is working 

145 respondents indicated no desired changes or expressed direct satisfaction with the product. That’s 7.7% of the “one thing to change” responses, and it’s an important signal. The core platform, the WHM management layer, the integration ecosystem, and the overall reliability of cPanel-powered environments are consistently praised. The areas of frustration are specific and addressable, and that’s exactly the kind of feedback we can act on. 

What We’re Building in 2026 

The survey results confirmed our priorities. The three areas with the strongest demand signal are all actively in development. A native firewall manager and brute-force protection layer is currently being built to replace the gap left by CSF. 

Improved backup management, including incremental backup support via Comet Backup integration, is in progress. And a unified Security and Performance Advisor, surfacing proactive recommendations directly inside the panel rather than requiring administrators to hunt for issues, is in definition now. 

Beyond security and reliability, the feedback on email, AI, and the broader user experience is shaping what comes next. Business Email integration, which will be a meaningful upgrade to the webmail experience that end users have long needed, is on track. 

An AI Support Assistant built into the GUI, focused on the practical, log-reading and diagnostic use cases that respondents asked for specifically, is also scheduled. We’re approaching AI capability the way the survey asked us to: opt-in, operationally useful, and grounded in actual server management workflows rather than generative features added for their own sake. 

For the full picture of what’s planned, in progress, and under consideration, the roadmap is live at features.cpanel.net. 

Thank You 

3,300 responses is a meaningful commitment of time from people. We genuinely appreciate every one of them. 

The goal of this survey is to make better decisions about what we build, and the 2025 data gives us a clearer signal than we’ve had before. The priorities are not ambiguous: security tooling, backup management, email modernization, a more responsive UI, and AI that earns its place by solving real operational problems. 

We’ll share updates as work progresses. If you want to go deeper on any of the roadmap items, or if you’re one of the 842 respondents who opted in to speak with a Product Manager, watch your inbox.

This release focuses on streamlining certificate lifecycle management, simplifying day-to-day server administration, and improving visibility and control across hosting environments.

Top Release Highlights

Strengthening Security With Integrated Firewall Management

ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) is now delivered through cPanel’s signed update pipeline, replacing the previous Web2Web distribution method. Existing CSF installations are automatically migrated, and Security Advisor now recommends cPanel-managed CSF when it is not installed.

This change ensures firewall updates are verified, consistent, and seamlessly integrated into standard cPanel updates. By removing the need to manage external update sources, teams can maintain a more consistent security posture across their environments. Teams should verify that CSF is active and managed via cPanel across their servers.

Preparing for the Future of SSL

Industry standards for SSL/TLS certificates are evolving, with certificate lifespans expected to decrease significantly over time.

cPanel & WHM v136 introduces native support for short-lived SSL certificates, with automated issuance and renewal via the ACME protocol. This applies across all SSL types, including paid certificates.

With automation handling frequent renewals, teams can manage certificate lifecycles more reliably while reducing the risk of unexpected expirations. Review your SSL configuration to ensure ACME-based automation is enabled where applicable.

Simplifying SSL Management

SSL management in cPanel is now more streamlined. Three separate SSL-related interfaces have been consolidated into a single unified SSL/TLS management page.

This reduces navigation friction, simplifies certificate workflows, and helps minimize configuration errors for end users. Update any internal processes or documentation that reference the previous SSL interface.

Improving Visibility and Control Across Server Environments

Several updates in v136 focus on making server management more consistent and easier to operate at scale.

Server-Wide PHP Error logging

Administrators can now configure PHP error logging across all accounts from a single WHM interface. This enables consistent logging configurations and supports faster troubleshooting across environments. Review and standardize your PHP logging settings at the server level.

Enhanced Log Retention Controls

New controls in WHM and cPanel provide greater visibility into web server log storage and lifecycle. This helps teams manage disk usage more effectively while aligning with logging and compliance requirements. Audit your current log retention settings and adjust them based on your storage and compliance needs.

Improved PHP Version Visibility

End-of-Life (EOL) and Hardened PHP versions are now clearly distinguished in the interface. This makes it easier to identify unsupported versions and prioritize upgrades based on risk. Review your servers for EOL PHP versions and plan upgrades where necessary.

MariaDB 11.8 support

MariaDB® 11.8 is now supported and available as an option in WHM’s Upgrade Database Version interface.

This gives teams more flexibility when managing database versions and planning upgrades across their environments. Review your current database versions and plan upgrades where appropriate.

Strengthening Session Security

Logging out via WebPros Account now fully terminates the global SSO session, rather than only ending the local cPanel or WHM session.

This aligns logout behavior with expected SSO standards and reduces the risk of lingering authenticated sessions.

Platform Updates: Final Support for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

cPanel & WHM v136 is the last version to support Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Customers currently running Ubuntu 22.04 should plan and initiate migration to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS using the ELevate upgrade path before upgrading beyond this release.

cPanel & WHM v136 supports:

• AlmaLinux 8, 9, and 10
• CloudLinux 8, 9, and 10
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Built for More Consistent, Scalable Operations

cPanel & WHM v136 brings together improvements that make it easier to operate, secure, and scale hosting environments.

By integrating security updates, automating high-frequency tasks like SSL renewal, and centralizing configuration management, this release helps reduce manual work while improving consistency across systems.

From default-enabled SSL purchasing to extended security coverage for legacy PHP versions, v134 helps hosting providers reduce friction, modernize infrastructure, and maintain secure systems at scale.

Top Release Highlights

SSL/TLS Wizard: Now Enabled by Default

SSL certificate purchasing is now enabled by default in the SSL/TLS Wizard. WHM administrators no longer need to manually enable this capability for end users.

Users can immediately purchase and install trusted Sectigo DV, OV, and EV certificates directly through cPanel. The updated interface highlights unsecured domains and guides users through certificate setup and installation.

Administrators retain full control through WHM’s Feature Manager and can disable the feature if required.

PHP Extended Lifecycle Support (PHP ELS)

cPanel & WHM v134 introduces backend support for PHP Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS), powered by TuxCare/CloudLinux.

This service provides continued security patching for unsupported PHP releases. It enables customers running end-of-life PHP versions to remain protected while modernizing their applications.

Customers can purchase and enable PHP ELS through the cPanel Store.

Once enabled, administrators can manage supported versions through Packages with visibility in PHP Manager.

WebPros Account Integration at Installation

New WHM installations now include optional WebPros Account integration.

For qualifying retail installations, WebPros authentication appears alongside traditional login methods during setup. This provides a unified login experience across WebPros products and simplifies first-time configuration.

CalDAV and CardDAV DoS Protection

This release adds a new security setting to WHM’s Tweak Settings interface.

The Enable CalDAV/CardDAV DoS Protection option (WHM » Home » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings) helps protect CalDAV and CardDAV services from Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks by limiting request content length and size.

This enhancement improves service resilience for environments using calendar and contact synchronization.

CloudLinux 10 Support (New)

cPanel & WHM v134 adds support for the CloudLinux 10 operating system.

This enables hosting providers to adopt the latest CloudLinux platform while maintaining full cPanel & WHM compatibility. CloudLinux 10 support represents a major platform milestone for CloudLinux-based environments.

Partners are still expected to provide support for their direct customers.

Extended Lifecycle Support program

Here’s a heads-up about the Extended Lifecycle Support program: This ELS program will run from July 1, 2024 to January 1, 2027. There will be an additional monthly ELS fee per qualifying license to cover the additional security updates starting August 1, 2024. Such fee will continue being charged until the underlying operating system is upgraded to a supported version. We are offering one month of free coverage for the month of July 2024. This fee is subject to increase after six months (January 1, 2025). Licenses associated with supported operating systems will not incur additional ELS fees. 

We understand that this might be a bit of a change, but our priority is to keep your websites secure and running smoothly. We encourage you to start planning your migration to a supported operating system as soon as possible. There are several excellent options available, and we’re happy to help you choose the one that best suits your needs. 

If you have any questions or need assistance deciding on the best course of action, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team. We’re here to help!
