A control panel provides a graphical user interface (like cPanel) to manage your websites, databases, and email without using the command line. You can install one on your BurjHost VPS.
Important: BurjHost's unmanaged VPS plans come with an empty server. You are responsible for installing the software you need.
Option A: Installing cPanel (Industry Standard)
cPanel is the most popular control panel but requires a license (you can purchase one through BurjHost).
