Introducing cPanel & WHM Version 84

cPanel & WHM Version 84 introduces a slew of new tools and improvements to the product. Now including PowerDNS for DNS clustering, DNSSEC improvements, an overhauled Apache Configuration file, and multiple interface updates, cPanel & WHM is better than ever. Take a look at highlights below, or check out the full release notes for v84.

DNS Clustering Now Including PowerDNS

Version 84 adds the ability to change a DNS server's nameserver software to PowerDNS in WHM's DNS Cluster interface, in addition to installing PowerDNS by default on all new installations.

Updates to the Let's Encrypt ™ plugin

The Let's Encrypt plugin is being updated to use Let's Encrypt's API in anticipation of the original API's end of life. This update allows continued support of users who rely on the plugin for SSL certificates and includes support for wildcard domains.

New and Improved Apache Configuration File

Version 84 brings the creation of the /etc/cpanel/ea4/ea4.conf file, replacing the previous /apache/main and /apache/local files. This new conf file consolidates all of your webserver's options into a single JSON file and provides several Apache configuration customization options.
