Dedicated Server with cPanel - Web Hosting Made Simple
Manage websites, emails, databases and domains from one intuitive interface. The power of a dedicated server, the simplicity of cPanel. Starting from £8.89/month.
What Is a Dedicated Server with cPanel?
A dedicated server with cPanel is a physical server exclusively allocated to you, pre-configured with the cPanel control panel for easy hosting management. Instead of managing your server through the command line, cPanel gives you a graphical web interface to handle domains, email accounts, databases, files, and SSL certificates.
Paired with WHM (Web Host Manager), a cPanel dedicated server lets you manage multiple hosting accounts from a single platform, ideal for web agencies, resellers, and hosting professionals. cPanel transforms server administration into clickable tasks: creating hosting accounts, configuring mail, MySQL databases, SSL certificates, backups. WHM adds multi-account management for resellers and administrators.

How Does Dedicated cPanel Hosting Work?
Step 1: Choose your configuration
Browse Kimsufi servers, from entry-level Intel Xeon (KS-1 to KS-5) to multi-core AMD EPYC (KS-6, KS-7). For standard hosting, KS-1 to KS-5 work well; for high-traffic or reseller environments, KS-6/KS-7 are recommended.
Step 2: Select cPanel at order time
Choose the cPanel option in the OVHcloud configurator: the license is billed separately via OVHcloud, together with the server. No third-party purchase, no manual install.
Step 3: Access your panels
Once provisioned, log in to WHM for server administration and create your cPanel accounts (URLs and personal credentials provided). Deploying hosting for clients or projects starts right away.
cPanel Version & Base OS
CentOS 7 is the reference distribution for the Kimsufi cPanel dedicated server: the cPanel license installed by OVHcloud targets this version, and cPanel accounts on dedicated servers run on CentOS.
Other Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Fedora, Rocky Linux) remain available free of charge on the same configurations, without the cPanel license.
Pricing, cPanel Dedicated Server
Kimsufi dedicated hardware starts from £8.89/month. The cPanel license is billed separately via OVHcloud, at the same time as the server, on compatible configurations.
Day to day, cPanel cuts administration time: graphical multi-account management makes accessible tasks that would otherwise require scripts and SSH maintenance, especially cost-effective when you host several sites or clients.
How to Choose a Dedicated Server with cPanel
Choosing the right dedicated server with cPanel comes down to a few criteria:
1. Load per hosted account: the number of hosting accounts drives RAM: entry-level (KS-1 to KS-5) covers standard hosting; KS-6/KS-7 (AMD EPYC) are recommended for high-traffic or reseller environments.
2. Expected traffic and storage: SSD NVMe (KS-2, KS-4, KS-5) carries databases and I/O-heavy sites; large HDD (KS-STOR, 4×4 TB) targets big archiving and backup volumes.
3. Network: unlimited traffic and anti-DDoS on all configs; vRack on compatible models if you isolate the management network from the client one.
4. License: the cPanel license is monthly and separate from the hardware. Add it to your TCO: hardware + license + (eventually) reseller plans.
