cPanel / WHM VDS Setup 2026 | SistemDC

cPanel/WHM is the industry-standard control panel for managing shared and reseller hosting. SistemDC cPanel/LiteSpeed VDS plans offer one-click or licensed installation on AlmaLinux/Rocky 9.

What Is cPanel / WHM and What Does It Do?

cPanel brings website, e-mail, DNS, database and SSL management together in a single interface. WHM (Web Host Manager) provides server-level management, package definitions and reseller accounts. PHP/Apache/Nginx (EA-Nginx) configuration is done with EasyApache 4.

Benefits

One-click installation of 400+ applications with Softaculous, JetBackup integration, Imunify360 security, CloudLinux resource isolation and LiteSpeed cache support. The customer panel (cPanel) is intuitive, which lowers support costs.
