The Hosting Platform of Choice | cPanel Release Highlights

Introducing cPanel & WHM Version 80

For cPanel & WHM Version 80 we have focused on speed and expanding the reach of our software.

We want to especially thank those of you who have Send error reports to cPanel for analysis enabled, as you were critical in helping us reduce the install and update times. If you are interested in helping with these decisions in the future, make sure to participate in the cPanel Analytics program!
