I think anyone who uses cPanel should be aware of [WHM](../whm)/Web Host Manager.
|
|
|
|
|
Although cPanel may run completely on its own, but usually you find its running with WHM.
|
|
|
|
|
Meaning that whoever sells you the cPanel access sets it up through WHM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alone cPanel may be pretty powerful depending on what access you're granted.
|
|
|
|
|
Often hosting providers will limit you to only access the files of your web-root and settings for additional services like e-mail and DNS.
|
|
|
|
|
But cPanel may even allow for terminal access on the Linux host.
|
|
|
|
|
Because it's "shared hosting", usually anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
Meaning you run WHM on Linux box and setup cPanel accounts that are actual Linux users.
|
|
|
|
|
As WHM uses built-in Linux security for access control on the host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cPanel is also capable of hosting all sorts of different types of web-apps.
|
|
|
|
|
Even though it's often configured to only allow PHP, where you'd likely see WordPress installs.
