cPanel is a web hosting control panel: software that you install on a Linux server to manage websites, email, databases, and domains through a graphical interface instead of the command line. It was first released in 1996 and remains one of the most widely used control panels in the hosting industry.
A cPanel VPS combines this familiar interface with the resources of a virtual private server. You get guaranteed CPU, RAM, and storage, full root access, and a panel that makes everyday administration simple.
What You Can Do with cPanel on a VPS
- Create and manage websites, subdomains, and addon domains.
- Set up email accounts, forwarders, and spam filters.
- Manage MySQL or MariaDB databases with phpMyAdmin.
- Configure DNS records, SSL certificates, and FTP accounts.
- Use WHM (WebHost Manager) to create separate cPanel accounts for clients or projects, each with its own disk and bandwidth limits.
Why Run cPanel on a VPS Instead of Shared Hosting
- Dedicated resources. Your sites do not compete with other customers for CPU and RAM.
- Full control. With root access, you can install extra software, tune PHP and web server settings, and apply your own security rules.
- Scalability. When your projects grow, you can move to a larger plan without changing the way you work.
- Isolation. Problems on someone else's website do not affect yours.
Requirements and Licensing
cPanel runs on supported Linux distributions such as AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CloudLinux, and Ubuntu LTS. It does not run on Windows. The panel is commercial software, so you need a cPanel license; its price depends on the number of accounts you host. For smooth operation, we recommend a plan with at least 2 GB of RAM, and more if you host several busy websites.
