cPanel is a Linux-based web hosting control panel that provides a graphical interface and automation tools designed to simplify the process of hosting a web site. cPanel utilizes a 3 tier structure that 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.

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.[2]

cPanel is designed to function either as a dedicated server or virtual private server. The latest cPanel version supports installation on CentOSRed Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and CloudLinux OS.[3] cPanel 11.30 is the last major version to support FreeBSD.[4][5]

Application-based support includes ApachePHPMySQLPostgreSQLPerl, and BIND (DNS). Email based support includes POP3IMAP, and SMTP services. cPanel is accessed via https on port 2083.

Once installed, cPanel cannot be easily removed. cPanel's FAQ states that the best way to uninstall cPanel is by reformatting the server.[6] 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.[7]
