cPanel Server Management

We monitor your cPanel server constantly: CPU, memory, disk, inodes, the RAID array, and the response of every service WHM runs — cPanel/WHM, Exim, Dovecot, Apache, NginX, LiteSpeed, MySQL, MariaDB, PHP-FPM, BIND, FTP, and SSH. We also watch the Exim mail queue for outbound-spam spikes. Custom website sanity checks, application probes, and port monitors are added on request, and alerts land in our cPanel server management queue rather than on your phone.

Disaster recovery is the highest-priority work in your cPanel Server Management. Whether it is a server compromise, a failed drive, a reseller who deleted the wrong account, or a database dropped in production, we work without stopping until your data is back. We restore at whatever level the incident needs: a full-server rebuild, a single cPanel account from a cpmove archive, one database, or one mailbox. We pull from any backup you have, including JetBackup, R1Soft, the provider’s snapshot, cPanel’s own backups, or our optional Linux server backup, and where severity allows we can often recover a hacked or crashed server without one.

We tune an advanced CSF firewall to your cPanel server’s traffic, with cPHulk and Login Failure Daemon blocking brute-force attempts on WHM, cPanel, FTP, SSH, and Exim. We work WHM’s own Security Advisor end to end, run ModSecurity with OWASP, Comodo, or Imunify360 vendor rulesets, and add Imunify360 or ImunifyAV for malware. Every domain gets SSL through AutoSSL, Let’s Encrypt, or your own certificate. We harden SSH and DNS, patch the kernel, secure /tmp, /var/tmp, and /dev/shm, and run CloudLinux with CageFS where you have it. We assist with PCI compliance on e-commerce servers. Hardening is optional. We recommend it to every customer, and if you have any concerns, we can discuss it first and apply all of it, some of it, or none.

We complete cPanel server migrations with the lowest possible downtime. A final fast-sync runs just before the cutover, then DNS flips, and end users land on new cPanel server hardware without a status-page incident. We migrate cPanel-to-cPanel, other-control-panel-to-cPanel, and bare-metal-to-cloud, whether that means AWS EC2 to DigitalOcean or any source to any target. We also move cPanel servers off end-of-life CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux without losing customer data, by building a fresh server and migrating the accounts onto it, and the hostname, DNS, mail, and SSL certificates cut over cleanly.

We tune EasyApache 4 to your workload: the right MPM, mod_lsapi or PHP-FPM in place of suEXEC/DSO, and PHP-FPM pool sizing across the MultiPHP versions cPanel runs per account, so a single site cannot starve the rest. We put NginX caching in front of Apache where it earns its keep. We tune MySQL and MariaDB, covering buffers, thread cache, and slow-query hunting, and use the MySQL governor and CloudLinux LVE limits to cap the account that spikes load. We also enable HTTP/2, Brotli and gzip, an in-memory tmp, and Redis or Memcached object caching, and move MySQL data to NVMe where it is available.

We provide unlimited 24/7/365 ticket support for anything on your cPanel server: blocked outbound email and SMTP bounces, IMAP and Dovecot connection issues, AutoSSL and TLS certificate renewals, slow WordPress sites and wp-admin lockouts, DNS, SPF, DKIM, and CNAME changes, firewall and ModSecurity rule updates, cron failures, .htaccess and file permissions, malware scans, reboots, outages, and any system administration task you can describe in a ticket. Standard tickets respond in ten to thirty minutes, urgent in five to ten. There is no ticket limit and no hourly charge.

We keep your cPanel server’s patch level current. We set the WHM update tier deliberately, whether LTS, RELEASE, or CURRENT, run upcp and OS package updates, and notify you of reboots. Security patches for major Linux outbreaks are applied promptly. We run EasyApache 4 and major PHP upgrades with a profile rollback ready, and we handle MySQL and MariaDB version upgrades, including major-version moves on InnoDB and MariaDB Galera clusters.

We build a new cPanel server in full whenever you need one. That covers the Linux OS install, the cPanel/WHM install, our hardening baseline, and configuration of the services you will host. We deploy AutoSSL with Let’s Encrypt for valid SSL on every domain, and we configure the hostname plus forward and reverse DNS. DNS templates are ready for every domain you add, with DKIM, SPF, and DMARC enabled on every mail domain. We migrate your existing websites, databases, and applications from the old server before the cutover.

We handle installs at the OS level and across the cPanel ecosystem. We build EasyApache 4 profiles for the Apache, NginX, and PHP combination you need, with the MultiPHP extensions each account depends on, and we set up CloudLinux with CageFS, LVE, and the PHP Selector for tenant isolation. For protection we install Imunify360 or ImunifyAV and ModSecurity vendor rulesets. We also install Softaculous and cPAddons for one-click apps, ClamAV for scanning, MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL for databases, and Redis, Memcached, Varnish, or Solr for caching and search. Git, Node.js, Python, Ruby via Passenger, Java and Tomcat, and most third-party Linux software with an install path round out what we deploy.

We configure Exim through WHM’s Exim Configuration Manager, setting mail authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and outbound limits so one hijacked account cannot torch your IP reputation. We also handle Dovecot IMAP and POP3, Roundcube and Horde webmail lockouts, SMTP relay and smart-host setup, SpamAssassin and the cPanel Mail Queue Manager, BoxTrapper and forwarders, mailbox quota and Maildir issues, bounce-loop diagnosis. This is the everyday mail work hosting companies forget to ask for until it breaks.

We also take on WHM root work, cPanel account and reseller plan changes, DNS zone work, CageFS configuration, SSH access management, cron jobs, certificate installation and renewal, firewall rule changes, .htaccess and file permissions, log file analysis, and WordPress and wp-admin recovery. We handle the ten-minute tasks and the four-hour ones alike.
