Linux cPanel Overview

cPanel, which stands for "control panel," is a web-based management tool created for the purpose of making the administration of web sites as easy as possible. cPanel software is capable of running on several RPM-based Linux distributions, including CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

With a Linux-based cPanel Dedicated Server, web hosting becomes as simple as clicking a button. cPanel is feature rich and offers a web-based interface called WebHost Manager that gives you the ability to administer individual accounts and reseller accounts. It also allows for easy performance of basic system and control panel maintenance functions through a secure interface. Because cPanel was designed with end users in mind, your system users will be able to control all aspects of their web sites, including adding and removing email accounts and administering MySQL databases.

cPanel hosting is simple because it puts you in complete control of your web site. You'll have the ability to handle every aspect, including:

  • Email
  • Files
  • Backup
  • FTP
  • CGI scripts
  • Web site statistics

WebHost Manager

WebHost Manager is cPanel's solution for dedicated server management in reselling. It serves as the control center designed to cover all aspects of web hosting, including setting up and managing accounts and supervising bandwidth and services. With the cPanel WebHost Manager package, all it takes to effectively manage the accounts on your server is an internet connection and a mouse click.
