That being said, if you do not already have cPanel & WHM, you will be required to make an additional purchase for a cPanel & WHM license. The CloudLinux for cPanel Servers must be installed on a server that is using cPanel & WHM. Neither of the CloudLinux licenses below include cPanel & WHM: Of the above systems, we offer CloudLinux in the cPanel Store as two different license packages shown below. CloudLinux OS:ĬPanel supports the following Linux operating systems:
CPANEL WHM VPS FULL
You can find the full list of the supported virtual environments at. If you are using Amazon AWS, Virtuozzo, VMware or KVM just to name a few, you will want to purchase a cPanel & WHM VPS license.ĭuring installation, cPanel & WHM VPS optimizes the initial configuration to make the best use of memory and processors in a virtualized environment. If you are new to hosting, you most likely will start off with a VPS or Cloud server since they are more cost-effective than a fully dedicated server.
You will not have access to the software until you purchase a Dedicated license. I would like to point out that if you try to activate a VPS license on a dedicated server the software will be disabled.
CPANEL WHM VPS INSTALL
The cPanel & WHM Dedicated license version is designed to be installed on a fully dedicated bare metal server in which 100% of the hardware is allocated to the operations of that machine.ĭuring the automated cPanel & WHM installation process, the installation will automatically detect whether you are operating within a dedicated or a virtual environment and will install the necessary components appropriately. It is important to note that you will need to ensure you have purchased the appropriate license for the server you are using. My name is Donna and it has been a privilege to be part of the cPanel Customer Service Team for over 4 years. One of the many jobs in Customer Service is making sure our customers have purchased the correct license for their hosting server. I absolutely love helping our cPanel customers and I would like to go over a frequently asked question, “Which license should I purchase?”. The type of license you will require will ultimately depend on what type of server you will be using for your hosting business. Before I start with the differences in cPanel licensing, I would like to point out that the cPanel & WHM features are exactly the same for both the Dedicated and VPS licenses.
