It does not support Windows servers. If you require Windows hosting, control panels like Plesk or a Windows native stack using IIS and MSSQL are more suitable.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1765626954912\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \" class=\"rank-math-question \" id=\"how-do-i-access-cpanel-and-whm\">How do I access cPanel and WHM?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You can access cPanel using <code>https:\/\/your-domain:2083<\/code> and WHM using <code>https:\/\/your-server-ip:2087<\/code>. Once DNS and SSL are properly configured, it is recommended to use the server hostname (for example, <code>https:\/\/server.example.com:2087<\/code>) to avoid SSL certificate warnings.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1765626964478\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \" class=\"rank-math-question \" id=\"what-are-the-minimum-resources-required-for-cpanel\">What are the minimum resources required for cPanel?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>At a minimum, cPanel requires 2 CPU cores, 2 GB RAM, and SSD storage. For hosting multiple WordPress websites, 4\u20138 GB RAM along with NVMe storage is recommended for better performance. Always allocate additional disk space for backups.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1765626977618\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \" class=\"rank-math-question \" id=\"how-do-i-install-ssl-certificates-in-cpanel\">How do I install SSL certificates in cPanel?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You can enable AutoSSL in WHM to automatically issue SSL certificates using Let\u2019s Encrypt or cPanel\u2019s built in SSL provider. In cPanel, go to <strong>SSL\/TLS Status<\/strong> and click <strong>Run AutoSSL<\/strong>, or install custom SSL certificates manually under <strong>SSL\/TLS \u2192 Manage SSL Sites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1765626991228\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \" class=\"rank-math-question \" id=\"can-i-migrate-websites-into-cpanel-from-another-host\">Can I migrate websites into cPanel from another host?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. WHM\u2019s Transfer Tool allows easy cPanel to cPanel migrations. For other control panels, manual migration is required, which includes transferring files, exporting and importing databases, updating DNS records, and reinstalling SSL certificates. Backup tools and WordPress migration plugins can help speed up the process.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>cPanel on a Linux server gives you<\/strong> a reliable, user friendly way to manage websites at scale.
