System Requirement

Important Note

• We do not provide an uninstaller. If you wish to remove our software, you must reformat the server.

• Only install cPanel & WHM on a freshly-installed operating system.

• You must log in to the server as the root user in order to install cPanel & WHM. If you do not possess root-level access, contact your system administrator or hosting provider for assistance.

• We recommend that you use the cPanel & WHM installer, which installs all of the services that it requires. If you install services before you install cPanel & WHM, you will encounter compatibility issues.
