Its no news that cPanel has released the 11th main version of their Cpanel and WHM software.
cPanel and WebHost ManagerTM (WHM) combine to form a fully featured web hosting control panel system. cPanel and WHM allow you to provide an interface for both your customers and your staff.
The cPanel and WebHost Manager package includes:
* cPanel – Domain Owner Control Panel
* WebHost Manager – Server Administration and Reseller Panel
* Webmail Panel – Webmail Access Panel
cPanel 11 promises amongst other features, enhanced security, improved overall performance, better usability, nicer visual style, tightened branding and integration.
The point here though is, my server management service provider announced they were not upgrading to cPanel 11 on my Linux server just yet. They felt it was still unstable and contained bugs that needed to be fixed.
Early this month, cPanel published some release notes for cPanel 11.
These release notes provide information on the new features and functionality in cPanel and WHM v11 along with any known issues (and their workarounds), and frequently asked questions.
One thus needs to strike a balance between upgrading for the sake of it, and upgrading because it’s really necessary. As at today June 27th 2007, cPanel stated on their website that the STABLE upgrade of Stage 2 for cPanel 11 will be released on July 31st 2007.
Have you upgraded your Cpanel to version 11 already? If yes, share your experience here.
