cPanel dedicated servers with WHM

Order a cPanel dedicated server and the license goes on the same order form. Pick Premier Metal when you configure a server in Chicago, Ashburn or Los Angeles, and it's billed with the box: one invoice, month to month, $0 setup. Run it yourself with root and WHM, or add Enterprise Server Management and we take on OS patching, monitoring and troubleshooting.

What you get with a cPanel server here

On bare metal one cPanel license covers 100 accounts, so the license gets cheaper per account as the server fills up. We sell the server, the license and the management on one order form, and we'll run the box for you or stay out of your way.

License on the order form

Pick cPanel Premier Metal when you configure the server: $49.50 a month, billed with the server on one invoice. It covers 100 cPanel accounts, and each account past 100 is $0.35 a month.

WHM and root

Self-managed servers come with root, WHM and IPMI on a private management network. Planning to add management? Ask us how root access works on a managed cPanel server before you order.

Managed, if you want it

Enterprise Server Management is $79 a month on a server with cPanel and $99 without. Same plan, $20 less with cPanel. Managed servers get 99.95% network uptime in our SLA. See managed dedicated servers.

CloudLinux ready

CloudLinux is available on the order form at $12 a month. On a box where dozens of customers share the hardware, per-account resource limits keep one busy site from slowing down everyone else.

Free cPanel moves from another host

If you're moving from another host, we migrate your cPanel accounts to the new server free. Moving something that isn't cPanel? We help with the move. On larger deployments it's often included; smaller jobs are quoted up front. Our cPanel to cPanel migration guide shows how it works.

Three US regions

Ashburn (East), Chicago (Central) and Los Angeles (West). Put a backup server or a second DNS node in another region, far enough away that one storm or fiber cut can't take out both.

Three ways to run cPanel with us

Most cPanel customers land in one of these. Not sure which? Send us your account count and how much disk the accounts use, and we’ll tell you.

Setup	Good for	License	Management	From
Self-managed	You run WHM and the accounts; we run the hardware and the network	Premier Metal, $49.50/mo	None	$175.50/mo ($126 server + $49.50 license)
Managed	We handle OS patching, monitoring and troubleshooting; you run the accounts and sites	Premier Metal, $49.50/mo	$79/mo	$254.50/mo
Multi-server or reseller estate	Several boxes, a DNS cluster, backups on a separate server	Premier Metal on each server	Your call, per server	Quoted per build

E3 or Xeon D? For cPanel, account count and disk type matter more than clock speed. Anything with MySQL-heavy sites belongs on SSD, which is why the Xeon D-1541 with 64 GB and a 1 TB SSD is the one we’d pick for a busy box: $297.50 a month with the license, or $376.50 managed.

cPanel-ready servers, month to month

Default builds from our order forms. Add cPanel Premier Metal ($49.50/mo) on the same form, plus CloudLinux ($12/mo) and management ($79/mo with cPanel) if you want them. Setup is $0 and the term is month to month. In Los Angeles, order the E3 build or the Xeon D build. Ashburn: the Xeon D-1541 Special on the order form.

What the license costs, and why bare metal changes the math

cPanel charges by how many accounts you host, not by the server. On a virtual server you pick a tier by account count: 5, 30, 50 or 100. On bare metal there’s one tier, Premier Metal, and it starts at 100 accounts. There’s no smaller metal tier.

Our price for Premier Metal is $49.50 a month on the order form. It covers 100 cPanel accounts, and each account past 100 is $0.35 a month, so a server hosting 150 accounts pays $67 a month for the license ($49.50 plus 50 × $0.35).

That’s the case for bare metal. You pay for 100 accounts whether you host 10 or 100, so it earns its keep once you’re past a few dozen, and the only question left is whether the hardware can carry them. A dedicated server can, and nobody else’s sites are on it. We break down every tier in what a cPanel license costs.

Management

Managed or self-managed

It’s the same Enterprise Server Management plan either way: $99 a month, or $79 on a server with a cPanel license. The license isn’t part of the plan; it stays its own $49.50 line.

With management, we handle	You keep
OS updates and security patches, scheduled with you	cPanel accounts, packages and resellers
Advanced monitoring: load, RAID, swap, services and website uptime	Websites, code and databases
Troubleshooting and server administration	DNS zones and email policy
Hardware replacement within 1 hour under the managed SLA	Who gets access to the server

Self-managed, you get root and WHM, and we look after the hardware and the network with 2-hour hardware replacement. Advanced monitoring is a $49 a month add-on there. Thinking about management? Ask us how root access works on a managed cPanel server before you order, and read what’s covered on our managed dedicated servers page.

Migration

Moving from another cPanel server?

The WHM Transfer Tool copies cPanel accounts from one cPanel server to another over the network, using root on the old server. Our cPanel to cPanel migration guide walks through it, plus the command-line route for very large accounts.

Plan on new IP addresses. A new server gets its own, so lower your DNS TTLs a day ahead, and if your domains use outside DNS such as Cloudflare, make sure someone can log in to it on cutover day. If your nameservers change IP, their glue records have to change too.

If you’re moving from another host, we migrate your cPanel accounts to the new server free. For anything that isn’t a cPanel account, like a site from another panel or a server move inside GigeNET: We help with the move. On larger deployments it’s often included; smaller jobs are quoted up front.

What we need from you: root on the old server or a cpmove archive for each account, the list of accounts to move, and access to wherever your DNS is hosted.

cPanel dedicated server FAQs

Further reading: cPanel to cPanel migration guide · What a cPanel license costs · Managed dedicated servers

Do I get root and WHM?

Yes. A self-managed cPanel server comes with root, WHM and IPMI access. If you add Enterprise Server Management, ask us how root access works on a managed server before you order.

Which OS do you install cPanel on?

AlmaLinux 8, 9 or 10, CloudLinux 8, 9 or 10, or Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04. If the version you want isn’t in the order form’s operating system menu yet, ask us through the quote form before you order.

How many accounts does the license cover?

cPanel Premier Metal covers 100 cPanel accounts, and each account past 100 is $0.35 a month. There’s no smaller tier for bare metal, so a server with 10 accounts pays the same $49.50 a month as one with 100.

Why is management $79 on a cPanel server and $99 otherwise?

It’s the same Enterprise Server Management plan either way. We take $20 off when the server has a cPanel license. The license itself isn’t included in management; it’s its own $49.50 line on the order form.

Do you support CloudLinux?

Yes. CloudLinux is available on the order form at $12 a month. If lots of customers share one cPanel server, its per-account resource limits are worth the money.

Will you migrate my accounts?

If you’re moving from another host, we migrate your cPanel accounts to the new server free. For other moves, like sites from another control panel or a server with no panel at all: We help with the move. On larger deployments it’s often included; smaller jobs are quoted up front. The migration guide shows what’s involved.

What about backups?

cPanel’s backup system is configured in WHM. Off-server backup targets are quoted, so tell us how much you need to keep and for how long.

Where are the servers, and what SLA do I get?

Ashburn, Chicago and Los Angeles. We’re SOC 2 Type II certified. Every server gets 99.5% network uptime in writing, a 30-minute ticket response and 2-hour hardware replacement. With a management plan that becomes 99.95%, 15 minutes and 1 hour.
