A proper control panel is critical for successful website management. cPanel makes web hosting management easy with its user-friendly interface and wide range of features. Here is our step-by-step guide to quickly set up cPanel:
Step 1: Get a cPanel License
Before starting the cPanel installation, you will need to obtain your cPanel license from your web hosting provider. Usually, hosting providers provide the cPanel license as part of your server. Once you have your license, you can start the cPanel installation.
Step 2: Make Server Updates
yum install wget nano -y
yum update -y -nogpgcheck
reboot
the server will restart after the reboot command
Step 3: Run the Setup Tool
Once your server is ready, you will need to run a special installation tool to start the cPanel installation. This tool is usually accessible from your server's command line.
For example, for CentOS, you can start the cPanel installation using the following command:
systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
cd /home &&& curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest && sh latest
This command downloads the latest version of cPanel and starts its installation.
Step 4: Complete the Installation Process
When the installer starts, it will ask you a series of questions. For example, you may be asked to enter your license information and determine basic system configurations. Follow these steps carefully and enter relevant information as required.
