cPanel is a popular web-based control panel used for managing web hosting services on Linux servers. It provides a user-friendly interface that allows users to easily manage various aspects of their hosting environment. This includes:

• File Management: Upload, manage, and organize website files.
• Email Management: Create and manage email accounts, set up forwarders, and configure filters.
• Domain Management: Add and manage domains and subdomains.
• Database Management: Create, modify, and manage databases using tools like phpMyAdmin.
• Security Settings: Set up SSL certificates, manage firewall settings, and more.
• Software Installation: Install and manage applications and software through built-in tools or installers like Softaculous.

cPanel is typically used in conjunction with WHM (Web Host Manager), which allows server administrators to manage server-wide settings and create/manage user accounts. For end-users, cPanel provides an intuitive interface for managing their individual hosting accounts without needing to write code or use command-line tools.
