    Technical Background of cPanel Hosting

    System requirements and supported OS

    cPanel hosting is optimized in Linux based environments. It works well on CentOS, AlmaLinux, and CloudLinux. HOSTKEY offers servers that are pre-configured to satisfy all cPanel system requirements, which makes them the most stable and compatible.

    How cPanel integrates with WHM

    WHM (Web Host Manager) is used together with cPanel web hosting to offer server-wide management tools. Administrators use WHM, whereas cPanel is coded to be end-user friendly. Such separation renders managed cPanel hosting to be an excellent choice when it comes to resellers and multiple account management businesses.

    Built-in modules: Apache, MySQL, PHP, and more

    Apache, MySQL, PHP, and other necessary services are pre-installed in every web hosting with cPanel environment. Such modules as DNS, FTP, and email are already set up, so it is an all-in-one hosting platform out of the box.

    cPanel’s role in shared vs. dedicated hosting

    Use Cron to automate database cleanups, scripts and other repetitive tasks.

    Server log access and error tracking

    View raw logs, error logs and traffic reports to find and debug problems quickly.

    Web hosting on cPanel is designed to work with open-source stacks and is built on Linux, which offers a secure and stable performance.
