System Requirements for Installing cPanel on a VPS

Before you install cPanel on your VPS, it’s important to ensure that your server meets the minimum system requirements. These requirements vary depending on the version of cPanel you plan to install, but here are the general requirements for the latest version of cPanel & WHM (version 98):

1. Operating System:

  • CentOS 7 or 8 (64-bit)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 or 8 (64-bit)
  • CloudLinux OS 7 or 8 (64-bit)

2. Processor (CPU):

  • Minimum: 1 physical CPU core (2 vCPUs)
  • Recommended: 2 physical CPU cores (4 vCPUs)

3. Memory (RAM):

  • Minimum: 1 GB
  • Recommended: 2 GB or more

4. Storage (Disk Space):

  • Minimum: 20 GB
  • Recommended: 40 GB or more

5. Network:

  • Public IPv4 address
  • Stable internet connection

6. Software Dependencies:

  • Perl 5.16 or later
  • Python 2.7 or later
  • OpenSSL 1.0.1 or later
  • mod_perl 2.0 or later
  • mod_ssl

7. Root Access:

  • You must have root access or administrative privileges on your VPS to install cPanel.

8. WHM License:

  • A valid WHM license is required to install cPanel.

Note:

  • These are the minimum requirements, and for optimal performance, it’s recommended to exceed these requirements based on your specific needs and the number of websites you plan to host.
  • Some VPS providers may offer pre-installed cPanel images or one-click installation options, which can simplify the installation process.

If you’re unsure whether your VPS meets the requirements or need assistance with the installation process, it’s advisable to contact your VPS provider or refer to the official cPanel documentation for more detailed instructions.
