The Cpanel 8™ platform includes not only an end-user site management interface (control panel), but also a full-featured administrative back-end known as the WebHostManager (or WHM), a nightly software package update system that will automatically install security patches and software upgrades on your server (sysup), and a program that will allow your server to monitor the status of it's own services (the web server, FTP server, etc) and will automatically restart any problematic programs.

The Cpanel 8™ platform is fully reseller-enabled. The server administrator can assign specific privileges to users on the system that will give them access to a limited version of the WebHostManager and allow them to perform many common tasks that are associated with reselling (create/remove accounts, manage DNS, reset passwords, etc).

The Cpanel 8™ end-user interface uses a unique template system that allows server administrators to completely customize the look of their customers' control panels. A single Cpanel-based server can have an unlimited number of control panel templates (also called "skins"). The Cpanel 8™ distribution comes with an attractive icon-based theme that can be used royalty-free. There are also pre-made Cpanel skins available for purchase at extremely reasonable prices.
