All About cPanel Solo License

cPanel & WHM servers constantly require a paid license from cPanel, Inc. in order to operate their services. For this, we can purchase a cPanel license for every cPanel & WHM server that you wish to run. It is possible to install cPanel & WHM without a license. However, it will not function until you obtain a license. It’s just a Free 15-day trial license. cPanel individual license is something different from this.

cPanel Individual license is a solitary user server license designed for use on either a fully dedicated server or within an environment running virtualization software. With a cPanel Individual license, WHM users can manage a single cPanel account from the WHM interface. However, the cPanel Individual license restricts the functionality that you would receive with a standard license. cPanel Individual license is implemented for those who only need one user to manage their hosting account. It can be used for a dedicated server as well as for a virtualized environment because cPanel individual license has the same features as those server licenses.

Price Details

The official pricing for the monthly plan of cPanel Individual is $15.

Difference between cPanel Individual and the standard editions

The only difference between cPanel and cPanel Individual is in the number of available logins. Another difference is that the cPanel Individual license limits the number of accounts to 1 which we have already mentioned earlier, but you can create unlimited cPanel accounts using the Dedicated and VPS licenses.

There are many situations where people only need a single website and require a control panel to manage it. cPanel Individual is suitable for these circumstances. However, reseller-specific features and multi-account capabilities, etc. are not included. And the cPanel Individual license requires cPanel & WHM version 66.0.25 or later.
