Managed cPanel/WHM on EC2

Buy your cPanel VPS cPanel & WHM documentation

It’s fast and easy to get your full-managed VPS cPanel & WHM server up and running on Amazon EC2, we even set up your SSL certificate free.

All you need to do is point your domain to the server.

NB: cPanel can take up to 30-40 minutes to install on any server, so allow time for the server to send you the Admin password after purchase. Unlike our other services, it is not instant.

cPanel & WHM is licensed with an initial 2-week free trial license. You’ll need to purchase a month license from cPanel directly to continue using cPanel on your Amazon EC2 server after the free trial expires.
