Overview of installing cPanel onto a Contabo server:

cPanel is a is 3rd party web hosting control panel tool that can be included with your Contabo server. 

You can purchase cPanel servers on the website here or if you already have a Contabo server you can purchase it separately by contacting the customer support team. 

You can raise a ticket with the customer support team via the Customer Control Panel here.

If you have purchased cPanel for an existing server you will need to reinstall your server with cPanel. Below are the steps on how to do this using the Customer Control Panel.

How do I install cPanel on my sever?

1. Log in to the Customer Control Panel.
2. Click "Your services" in the blue "control panel" section on the left hand side of the page.
3. Click the "Manage" button next to the server you would like to re-install.
4. Click "Re-install" from the drop-down menu.
5. Select the operating system you would like use.
6. In the panel drop-down menu select cPanel.
7. Enter the password you would like to use for the new operating system.
8. Re-enter the password in the text box "password (confirm)".
9. Click the "Start Installation" button when you're ready.

Clicking the "Start Installation" button will start the installation immediately, so make sure you've selected all the right settings first. Also, this process will erase all data on the server, so if there is any data on your server, make sure you back up the server first before running the installation.

How do I access cPanel after installation?

After you have successfully installed cPanel on your server, you can access it by your web browser entering the following URL:

https://[[Your Server IP Address]]:2087/

For example if your servers IP address was 255.255.255.255 you would enter the following URL:
