cPanel Dashboard and Features Tutorials

Security is a crucial aspect of cPanel hosting. It offers robust security features including SSL certificate management, firewall protection, and regular updates to safeguard your site against potential threats and vulnerabilities, ensuring a secure browsing experience for your users.

This wizard guides you through the setup of a PostgreSQL® database, user accounts, and user privileges. We recommend that you use this wizard to create your first database and user. To create additional databases or users, use the PostgreSQL Databases interface (cPanel » Home » Databases » PostgreSQL Databases).

phpPgAdmin is a third-party tool that you can use to manipulate PostgreSQL® databases. For example, you can use phpPgAdmin to add or delete records in a PostgreSQL database. For more information about how to use phpPgAdmin, visit the phpPgAdmin website.

phpMyAdmin is a third-party tool that you can use to manipulate MySQL® databases. For example, you can use phpMyAdmin to add or delete records in a MySQL database. For more information about how to use phpMyAdmin, visit the phpMyAdmin website.

The cPanel & WHM implementation of MySQL and MariaDB® uses modified character limits for database names and database usernames:

This wizard guides you through the setup of a MySQL® database, user accounts, and user privileges.
Note To create additional databases or users, you can also use the MySQL Databases interface (cPanel » Home » Databases » MySQL Databases).
To change your server’s version of MySQL or MariaDB, contact your system administrator.

The User Manager interface allows you to manage your Subaccounts. Subaccounts use the same login and password information for email, FTP, and Web Disk services. The system synchronizes the password of each of the Subaccount’s allowed services.

This feature lets you edit an existing email account. In addition to standard email accounts, you can use the cPanel account’s system user email account to receive mail for nonexistent or invalid addresses for your domains.To access this interface, locate the email address that you want to edit in cPanel’s Email Accounts interface (cPanel » Home » Email » Email Accounts) and click Manage.

Mailing lists allow you to use a single address to send mail to multiple email addresses. cPanel handles mailing lists with the third-party Mailman application. For more information, read the Mailman documentation.

We strongly recommend that you use multiple, simple filters instead of a single large filter. Exim, the server’s mail transfer agent, handles many small rules more efficiently than a single large rule.
Email filters will not process any email messages that are discarded before delivery. The system may discard some email messages before delivery if you select the Discard the email while your server processes it by SMTP time with an error message setting in cPanel’s Default Address interface

This interface allows you to configure an email address to forward incoming emails to another address. This is useful if, for example, you want to use one email account to receive emails addressed to multiple addresses without having an account for each. Additionally, multiple email addresses can receive the same email. You can also set the server to discard email or send (pipe) email to a program.

This interface allows you create, store, and manage GnuPG keys. GnuPG keys use the public key approach for encryption.
Programs that use GnuPG keys encrypt outbound messages with a public key. Only the intended recipient, who possesses the private key, can decrypt the message.

This interface allows you to configure how the system routes a domain’s incoming mail. For example, you can use this interface to configure the server as a backup mail exchanger, which will hold a domain’s mail until the primary mail exchanger is available.

This interface allows you to create, edit, and remove email filters for a selected email account.
An email filter allows you to set a rule for incoming messages (for example, a message from desired sender). If a message matches that rule, then the system can automatically perform an action on that message (for example, deleting the message).

Overview
This interface allows you to view all of your mailboxes and remove old or large messages.
Account
Select the account to modify from the Account menu.
Note:
The Account menu only appears for cPanel accounts. It will not appear in Webmail accounts.
Search
Use the Search text box to search for specific mailbox names.

For the Email Deliverability interface to appear, your hosting provider must enable Email Deliverability in WHM’s Feature Manager interface (WHM » Home » Packages » Feature Manager » Feature Lists).
Once the hosting provider enables the Email Deliverability interface, both DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) authentication require that you use a DNS server for the domain name. For more information about your DNS servers, contact your hosting provider.

Overview
Use this interface to add, manage, and delete email accounts.
Important:
To set up a mail client for your email account, read our Set Up Mail Client documentation.

This feature allows remote hosts (servers) to access MySQL® databases on your account. This is useful, for example, if you wish to allow shopping cart or guestbook applications on other servers to access your databases.

Use this interface to create, manage, and delete PostgreSQL® databases and database users.
To add or delete information in existing databases, copy a database, or run PostgreSQL queries and scripts, use cPanel’s phpPgAdmin interface (cPanel » Home » Databases » phpPgAdmin).

Use this interface to create, manage, and delete MySQL databases and database users.
Due to the method that cPanel & WHM uses to store MySQL database names, each underscore character requires two characters of that limit.
If you enable database prefixing, a database name may contain a maximum of 63 characters, which includes the database prefix and the underscore character. Each additional underscore requires another two characters of that limit.

This wizard guides you through the setup of a MySQL® database, user accounts, and user privileges.
To create additional databases or users, you can also use the MySQL Databases interface (cPanel » Home » Databases » MySQL Databases).
