Why Use cPanel on a VPS?
cPanel is widely used for managing Linux web hosting because it brings many of the everyday tasks involved in running websites and hosting services into a graphical interface. With cPanel for individual hosting accounts and WHM for server administration, you can manage a complete hosting environment without relying entirely on the command line.
Manage Websites
Create and manage hosting accounts, domains, websites, files and SSL certificates from cPanel.
Professional Email
Create mailboxes, manage email settings and configure domain email services from the same platform.
Manage Databases
Create databases and database users and access common administration tools such as phpMyAdmin.
DNS Management
Manage DNS zones and records for the domains hosted on your VPS.
WHM Server Management
Use WHM for server-level configuration, account management, service administration and monitoring.
SSH Access
Retain full administrative access to your VPS when you need command-line control or custom configuration.
cPanel’s feature set can be extended and configured to suit the type of hosting environment you operate, making a cPanel VPS suitable for everything from hosting your own websites to running a multi-account web hosting platform.
Configure Your cPanel VPS
Build your VPS around the resources you actually need. Choose your CPU, RAM, NVMe storage, IP addresses, operating system and cPanel configuration, then select whether you want Farbyte to manage the server for you.
Resources can be adjusted as your requirements change, giving you a straightforward way to grow your cPanel hosting environment without moving to another server.
Flexible CPU

Adjustable RAM

Which Hosting Environment Fits Your Requirements?
A cPanel VPS isn’t the right choice for every website. If you don’t need server-level control, Farbyte Business Hosting provides a fully managed hosting environment with isolated resources and many of the features businesses need without the administration of a VPS.
For smaller websites, our Shared Hosting service provides a more economical option. If you need cPanel and WHM, full administrative access or the flexibility to configure your own server, a cPanel VPS gives you significantly greater control.
