In a world where information technology is growing more rapidly every day, it is not uncommon to find websites that have integration with services, scripts and other add-ons. These add-ons can make a website more interactive and interesting. Thus, to support the users’ need for integration with these add-ons, cPanel is equipped with the necessary tools and features to provide flexibility and easy integration.

The cPanel Plugins is one of the many features offered by the latest version of cPanel, version 11. With cPanel Plugins, developers of third party software can directly integrate their products into the cPanel interface. The cPanel Plugins also allow addition of custom icons into the existing panel menus. The cPanel layout is also customizable, as it is CSS based. So, users can tweak the coding to develop a cPanel layout according to their hearts’ content by typing in the UI command line utilities.

Another utility included in the cPanel 11 is the module installer. To allow quick access to modules needed by the user to enhance their website, the cPanel can quickly install Perl Modules, PHP PEARs and RubyGems directly through the interface. The cPanel can also handle dependencies and allow users to use local includes without having to modify existing paths.

The cPanel also provides support for web programming languages such as PHP and Ruby and Ruby on Rails. With PHP Configuration Editor, cPanel users can customize PHP from within the cPanel itself and run it to make sure that it works as intended. The cPanel 11 also supports the Ruby on Rails framework which works for web application development. To install Ruby and Ruby on Rails, all the user needs to do is run scripts/installruby.

Aside from add-ons, the cPanel 11 also has better integration with operating systems. This allows users to configure WebDisk on Mac, Windows or Linux easily. Configuring e-mail accounts for e-mail clients such as Outlook Express and Mail.app is easy as the user only needs to run an installation shortcut. Last but not least, the cPanel 11 also comes equipped with update integration that allows users to make custom changes to the system that modify the core services.

Now that you know how easy it is to integrate cPanel with other services, it is understandable if cPanel 11 is a leading control panel software. Not only it is easy to use and secure, adding add-ons or other third party software is quick and easy.
