CCPanel Documentation v2.0

Welcome to the official CCPanel documentation. This guide covers everything from installation to advanced configuration and API usage.

System Requirements

Before installing CCPanel, make sure your server meets the following requirements:

OS: Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 8/9, CentOS 7/8
RAM: Minimum 1 GB (2 GB recommended)
Disk: Minimum 20 GB free space

Installation

Install CCPanel with a single command as root on a fresh server:

The installer will detect your OS and configure everything automatically. Installation typically takes 5–10 minutes. Once complete, you'll see your panel URL and login credentials.

Domain Management

CCPanel supports unlimited domains on Pro and Enterprise plans. Each domain gets its own document root, PHP version, error logs, and resource limits.

Supported domain types: main domains, addon domains, subdomains, parked domains, and wildcard subdomains.

REST API

CCPanel provides a full REST API to automate account and server management. All API calls require authentication via an API token.

      
# Create a new hosting account

POST /api/v1/accounts

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN

Content-Type: application/json

{

  "username": "client1",

  "password": "secure123",

  "email": "client@example.com",

  "domain": "example.com",

  "plan": "pro"

}

For a full list of API endpoints, see the API Reference section or visit api.ccpanel.net/docs.

Download the module from your CCPanel dashboard under Reseller → WHMCS Module
Upload the module to /modules/servers/ in your WHMCS directory
In WHMCS go to Setup → Products → Servers and add your CCPanel server
Enter your panel URL and API token, then click Test Connection
