Hostinger cPanel VPS hosting

cPanel VPS hosting offers a virtual private server with cPanel as its control panel. This gives you enhanced performance, security, and customisation options for your virtual private servers and the ease of managing your hosting environment using cPanel.

First, secure one of our VPS hosting plans and install cPanel in one click. After gaining access to your hosting account, you can deploy web applications, set up domains, create email accounts, and more.

Explore our cPanel tutorial to find out how to use cPanel’s File Manager, configure security settings, monitor resources, and perform other administrative tasks to manage your projects effectively.

As for the cPanel license, refer to our tutorial on how to purchase a control panel license for your VPS. Note that if you purchase a higher-tier license, you will get a reseller-ready cPanel VPS hosting solution. This means you will be able to resell cPanel accounts for end-users.

cPanel and DirectAdmin are both popular control panels used in a web hosting environment. They provide graphical interfaces to manage websites, emails, FTP accounts, databases, and other hosting-related elements.

The cPanel control panel offers a wide range of features, including advanced file management and extensive plugin support. It is also more popular than DirectAdmin, which means there’s a larger community and more resources for support and troubleshooting.

On the other hand, DirectAdmin has a simpler interface, which can be less intimidating for new users. However, it lacks some of the advanced functions of cPanel. In terms of pricing, DirectAdmin is usually cheaper than cPanel.

Of course. You can install and configure firewall solutions like ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) to manage incoming traffic and protect your server from unauthorised access. It’s also easy to set up encryption for secure email communications.

What’s more, cPanel provides tools to edit DNS zones, allowing you to create your own private nameservers. This is important for branding and consistency if you host websites for clients.

As we provide self-managed VPS hosting services, you will get full control over your server. Should you need help with any VPS-related tasks, simply ask our AI Assistant, and the tool will guide you in the right direction.

Plus, we have a rich database of Hostinger Tutorials with topics ranging from server troubleshooting to website optimisation. If you prefer videos over written content, you can also check out Hostinger Academy.
