An Overview

The cPanel, or control panel is a popular graphical web hosting and server management control panel. It is a simplified administration of web hosting services and server management. This proprietary utility handles aspects of website administration in its interface. It is designed for use by commercial web hosting service providers and requires monthly service fees.

The cPanel operates on Redhat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and FreeBSD. Alternately, there is a beta version available for Windows Server 2008 which is up for release.
