About cPanel

Hosting control panel paired with WHM, used by many shared and reseller hosts to manage sites, email, databases and DNS.

cPanel is a control panel for Linux web hosting servers, usually paired with WHM (WebHost Manager), the server-side interface hosts use to create accounts and manage the machine. Site owners log in to cPanel to manage domains, email accounts, databases, files, backups and DNS records without touching the command line, while hosts use WHM to create packages, resell accounts and apply server-wide settings.

Many shared and reseller hosts run it, which is why so many migration and backup tools support cPanel accounts directly. It is licensed per server, with pricing that depends on the number of accounts. Before you choose it, check the license cost at the account count you expect, which operating systems it supports, and how its backup and transfer tools fit your plans for moving customers in or out.
