TCH-BLOG General Leave a Comment

In the world of web hosting, managing your website and its associated services can be a complex task. One tool that has proven to be invaluable in simplifying this process is cPanel, a powerful web-based control panel. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of cPanel and discuss how TotalChoice Hosting seamlessly integrates it into their services, providing a user-friendly experience for customers.

What is cPanel?

cPanel is a popular web-based control panel designed to help website owners manage various aspects of their web hosting accounts, including email, domains, files, databases, and security. By providing a graphical interface and automation tools, cPanel simplifies the process of hosting and maintaining a website, making it accessible even for those with limited technical knowledge.

The Benefits of cPanel

User-friendly Interface: cPanel’s intuitive interface is designed for ease of use, allowing users to quickly navigate and manage various aspects of their hosting accounts without requiring advanced technical skills.

One-Click Installations: TotalChoice Hosting enhances cPanel by installing Softaculous, an integrated application installer, for their customers. This addition allows users to install popular web applications such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal with just a few clicks, saving time and effort.

Email Management: cPanel provides comprehensive email management tools, enabling users to create and manage email accounts, set up email forwarding, configure spam filters, and more.

File Management: With cPanel’s built-in File Manager, users can easily upload, download, and manage files directly within their web hosting account, without needing separate FTP software.

Database Management: cPanel includes tools for managing MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, allowing users to create, modify, and manage databases for their web applications with ease.

Security Features: cPanel offers various security tools, including SSL certificate management, password-protected directories, IP address blocking, and hotlink protection.

Resource Monitoring: cPanel provides users with information about their hosting account’s resource usage, including disk space, bandwidth, and CPU usage, helping them monitor and optimize their websites’ performance.

Backup and Restore: cPanel allows users to create and manage backups of their hosting accounts, ensuring that their data is safe and secure in case of any unexpected issues.

Horde Email EOL

TCH-Bill General

Dear TCH Family,

Horde support will be removed from cPanel & WHM starting with Version 108. This is because Horde does not support PHP 8.x, and PHP 7.4 reaches its End of Life in November 2022. Horde relies on PHP 7.4, which reaches End of Life on November 28, 2022 and will no longer be available after this date. Because of this, cPanel will remove Horde.

Roundcube will become the primary cPanel Webmail client.

What does this mean for TotalChoice Customers that use Horde?
cPanel Webmail offering will be focused on Roundcube going forward. Your email will be available in Roundcube just as it is in Horde today.

What do I need to do to prepare for this?
Nothing.  All email and data will be moved from Horde to Roundcube.

What about my calendars and contacts?
When cPanel & WHM update to version 108, the system will automatically migrate all Horde data to Roundcube.

If you require any assistance please just let us know and our technical support team will be more than happy to assist.
