Manage domains, files, databases, email, backups and applications through cPanel—with hosting paths for individuals, agencies, resellers and infrastructure teams.

A virtual server with root access and WHM for custom packages, service configuration and isolated resources.
Single-tenant hardware for large portfolios, high traffic, private services and advanced storage layouts.
Each feature is explained in practical terms so customers understand what it does—and what still depends on the selected plan.
Manage domains, subdomains, redirects, FTP users and website files from one familiar interface.
Create databases, manage users, select supported PHP versions and inspect application requirements.
Create mailboxes, forwarders, autoresponders and routing rules when email is included in the selected plan.

On VPS and dedicated plans, WHM lets administrators create accounts, define packages, assign quotas, suspend services and control the wider hosting environment.

Ask another questioncPanel hosting is a hosting service managed through the cPanel interface. It can be delivered as shared hosting, a VPS with WHM, or a dedicated server with full administrative control.
cPanel manages an individual website account. WHM manages the server or reseller layer, including cPanel accounts, packages, quotas, service settings and security controls.
Yes. A compatible Linux VPS can run cPanel and WHM. The final cost depends on the cPanel account tier, server resources and management selection.
Yes. Dedicated cPanel hosting gives the administrator full control over the hardware, operating system, WHM accounts, storage and server configuration.
Fiveium plans can include Softaculous where listed. The exact application catalogue and premium scripts depend on the server configuration and licence.
cPanel is primarily designed for supported Linux operating systems. For Windows hosting, Plesk is normally the more appropriate control panel.
Migration assistance can cover website files, databases, email and account data. The exact scope depends on source access, account size and destination plan.
Shared plans include access as part of the hosting service. VPS and dedicated pricing can vary by cPanel account tier, so the final licence treatment must be confirmed in WHMCS.
Yes. cPanel can manage WordPress files, databases, domains, SSL and cron jobs, while Softaculous can simplify initial installation.
Choose shared cPanel for low administration, a cPanel VPS for root and WHM control, or dedicated cPanel when you need single-tenant hardware and maximum customization.
