I’ve been using cPanel since 2004.  It wasn’t until joining InMotion Hosting in 2006 that I really started to dig into the internals of cPanel – to tweak its functionality to their needs, integrate with third-party services and applications, and work around cPanel-imposed restrictions.  I was instantly intrigued.

One major issue I faced, however, was the lack of resources available to cPanel server administrators.  At the time, cPanel had little documentation aimed toward advanced users, and the availability of cPanel ‘hacks’ were sparse.  So in 2009, I started this website to help other cPanel administrators with common issues and tasks that may otherwise be unexplained. Since then, thecpaneladmin.com has been largest unofficial, exclusive, and reputable technical resource for cPanel administrators.  cPanel also recommends us as a resource on their EDU website.
