cPanel is a web hosting control panel (software that facilitates the management of a web

hosting server) developed by cPanel, L.L.C., an American corporation. The software provides


a graphical interface (GUI) and automation tools designed to simplify the process of hosting a web
site to the website owner or the "end user".
cPanel is part of a software suite called cPanel & WHM which provides capabilities for
administrators, resellers, and end-user website owners to control the various aspects of website
and server administration through a standard web browser using a three-tier structure. While cPanel
is limited to managing a single hosting account, cPanel & WHM allows the administration of the
entire server.
In addition to the GUI, cPanel also has command line and API-based access that allows third-party
software vendors, web hosting organizations, and developers to automate standard system
administration processes.[4]
cPanel & WHM is designed to function either as a dedicated server or virtual private server. The
latest cPanel & WHM version supports installation on CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),
and CloudLinux OS.[5] cPanel 11.30 is the last major version to support FreeBSD.[6][7]
Application-based support includes Apache, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Perl, and BIND (DNS).
Email-based support includes POP3, IMAP, and SMTP services. cPanel is accessed
via HTTPS on port 2083, while WHM is accessed via HTTPS on port 2087.
Once installed, cPanel & WHM cannot be easily removed. cPanel & WHM FAQ states that the best
way to uninstall cPanel & WHM is by reformatting the server.[8] However, uninstall guides are
available online for expert server administrators who do not wish to reformat their server. Similarly, it
should only be installed on a freshly installed operating system with minimal prior configuration.[9]
