## Purpose

cPanel licenses the cPanel & WHM control panel, which gives server administrators
a graphical interface for managing websites, email, DNS, databases, and hosting 
accounts. WHM handles server-level administration, while the cPanel interface serves
individual account owners. A license is required for every server that runs the 
software, and the edition must match the server type.

## Who It Is For

Hosting providers, resellers, agencies, and businesses that run their own Linux 
servers and want a familiar, widely supported control panel for their customers 
or internal teams.

## Edition and License Metrics

cPanel & WHM is offered in VPS and Dedicated editions. The VPS edition is intended
for virtual private servers, and the Dedicated edition is intended for physical 
dedicated servers. The edition on this page must be matched to the server it will
be installed on; the correct edition is confirmed at order time and cannot be assumed
from the server name alone.

Licensing is per server, and the applicable edition depends on the server type (
VPS or dedicated). The number of cPanel accounts permitted under a license depends
on the vendor’s current account tier for that license, which must be confirmed with
the vendor before an order is placed.

## Supported Environments

Supported on Linux servers running a vendor-supported operating system and meeting
the vendor’s current system requirements. cPanel does not run on Windows servers.
The server must have a clean, supported OS installation, a valid hostname, and outbound
network access for license verification and updates.

## Prerequisites

A server with a supported Linux distribution, root access, a resolvable fully qualified
domain name, and sufficient disk space and memory for the vendor’s current minimum
requirements. Any existing control panel must be removed or the server rebuilt before
installation, because cPanel requires a clean installation.

## Billing Term and Renewal

Licenses are billed on a recurring monthly term. The price shown is a placeholder
until the owner confirms it. Renewal continues on the same term unless the license
is cancelled before the renewal date. There is no lifetime option.

## Activation

Activation is handled through a manual fulfillment queue after the order is placed.
The license is registered against the server’s primary IP address and confirmed 
once the vendor’s licensing system recognises that IP. Activation is not instant.

## Updates and Support

Updates are provided by the vendor while the license remains active and in good 
standing, following the vendor’s current release policy. Access stops if the license
lapses.

First-line support for billing and registration is provided by Offshore Hosting.
Technical support for the software is provided by the vendor under its current terms.
The exact division is confirmed at order time.

## Transfer and Compatibility

The license is tied to the server IP address it was registered against. Moving it
requires a transfer or re-issue under the vendor’s current transfer policy. Availability
and conditions are confirmed before the move.

cPanel works with the vendor’s supported web server, mail, and database components,
and with third-party add-ons that are compatible with the installed cPanel version.
Check specific compatibility against the vendor’s documentation for the installed
version.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Which cPanel edition do I need?

Choose the VPS edition for a virtual private server and the Dedicated edition for
a physical dedicated server. If the server type is unclear, confirm it with the 
hosting provider before ordering.

### How is the license activated?

After the order is placed, the license is registered against the server’s primary
IP address through a manual fulfillment queue. Activation is confirmed once the 
vendor’s licensing system recognises that IP.

### Can I move the license to another server?

A license is tied to an IP address, so a move requires a transfer or re-issue under
the vendor’s current policy. Confirm transfer availability before changing servers.
