What Is the cPanel & WHM Documentation Website?

Updated

docs.cpanel.net is the official documentation site for cPanel & WHM products. Use it when you need to learn how a cPanel or WHM feature works, follow an installation or configuration procedure, or troubleshoot a specific issue. The site states that its documentation is intended to help you learn how to use cPanel's products or solve issues with them.

What the site covers

The documentation is organized around the main product areas and interface types:

Area What you'll find
cPanel Accessing your cPanel account, learning cPanel features, navigating cPanel interfaces
WHM Accessing your WHM account, learning WHM features, navigating WHM interfaces
EasyApache 4 Documentation for the EasyApache 4 toolchain
Manage2 Documentation for the Manage2 system
Webmail Webmail documentation
API Developer documentation for cPanel APIs

Supporting resources

Beyond product guides, the site links to several resource types that are useful at different stages:

  • Release Notes and Change Logs — for checking what changed in a version.
  • Knowledge Base — for issue-focused answers.
  • Installation Guide — for setup procedures.
  • Video Tutorials — for walkthrough-style learning.
  • Roadmaps — for planned development direction.
  • Forums and Support Ticket — for community and direct support channels.
  • Try Demo — for exploring the product before committing.

Choosing your interface version

The site asks you to select your cPanel experience by interface version: Jupiter or Meridian. This matters because interface navigation and layout differ between versions, so instructions should match the version you actually run. Pick the version that matches your installed cPanel before following any interface-based steps.

When to use it

Reach for this site when you are:

  • Learning a feature you haven't used before in cPanel or WHM.
  • Following a step-by-step procedure for installation or configuration.
  • Checking whether behavior changed between releases.
  • Looking up API details as a developer.

If you need direct help with a specific problem, the Knowledge Base and Support Ticket links are the more targeted entry points than the general product guides.
