Why choose an OVHcloud cPanel dedicated server?
 

Managed administration

You can manage all of your projects, and generate web spaces via a single interface. You can view your web hosting plans at a glance, and save time on daily management tasks. Your cPanel dashboard gives you access to different files, disk spaces, databases, domain names, and metrics. Several administration levels are available, so your customers can manage their own web hosting spaces securely.

Creation in just a few clicks

Your cPanel dedicated server offers many options, with a comprehensive web hosting control panel.

Create automated backups of your critical data, manage your domain names, sub-domains and aliases, and monitor your website statistics. You don’t need to be a tech guru to set all of this up — cPanel will manage it for you, on demand.

Simplified web hosting with cPanel

The cPanel platform makes it easier to resell web hosting plans to your customers. You define the amount of space dedicated to each user, with secure access, FTP, a disk space, and whatever tools you would like to offer them. You can monitor the usage of disk space, RAM, CPU and bandwidth in real-time. If you are a web agency or a reseller, this will save you a lot of time — and you’ll be using a popular solution that has been on the market for more than 20 years.

Advanced tools

To go further using your cPanel server, you can use tools such as creating cron jobs (e.g. cPanel backup cron). You can also access a terminal included directly in your interface to manage your server via the command line. Manage your SSL certificates and use DNS track, which enables you to gather data on domain names (e.g. IP address, DNS information).

What is the difference between a cPanel web hosting plan and a cPanel dedicated server?

The main difference between a cPanel web hosting plan and a cPanel dedicated server is the server type and the resources you get. cPanel web hosting is usually installed on a shared server where several people share the resources of one machine. This could stop you from harnessing the full power of the machine and customising your resources for demanding applications. A cPanel dedicated server, on the flip side, gives you full control over a physical server. This means it performs better, offers improved security, and has greater capacity to handle high volumes of traffic and data. This is the way to go for businesses with high resource and customisation needs.
