If you’re running a web hosting business or managing websites for clients, cPanel is the industry standard control panel. Setting it up on a fresh server used to mean SSH, command-line installs, and waiting. We’ve automated the entire process on our VPS hosting platform so you can skip all of that.
How the automated install works
In the Client Portal, pick a Linux VPS plan and choose “Install cPanel” during deployment. The system handles everything: it provisions your virtual server, installs the operating system, then installs and configures cPanel with WHM. The status shows “Installing cPanel” while it works, then switches to “Running” when it’s done. The whole process takes a few minutes.
Once it’s ready, log into WHM with root and the password you set during deployment. We recommend changing the root password after your first login so WHM and root aren’t sharing the same credentials. From WHM you can create hosting accounts, set up domains, manage DNS, configure email, and do everything else cPanel offers.
Why run cPanel on a VPS
A VPS gives you full root access and the ability to size your resources to your needs. If you’re hosting 10 client sites, a smaller Linux VPS with 4 GB RAM might be enough. If you’re hosting 100+ sites, you can scale up to a larger plan with more CPU and RAM. You’re not sharing resources with other hosting customers the way you would on a shared hosting platform.
cPanel also works well with CloudLinux, which isolates each hosting account so one site can’t hog all the CPU or RAM. If you want that setup, our team can help you install CloudLinux on your VPS alongside cPanel.
Migrations and support
Moving from another host? Our team handles cPanel migrations. We can transfer accounts from your old server to a new Linux VPS with cPanel so your clients experience minimal downtime. We’re trained on cPanel and WHM, so if something goes wrong during migration or you need help tuning your setup, we’re here.
You can also run cPanel on a bare metal dedicated server if your hosting business has outgrown VPS. The installation process is the same, and you get dedicated hardware for maximum performance.
