    WHM cPanel & VPS

    Hello all,

    just one quick question... I know you can install multiple cPanel VPS' on a single server... but can you install both cPanel WHM AND a VPS (or VPS') on a single server? What's the situation with IPs then?

    thanks again in advance for your answers,

    You can make VPS out of a single dedicated server then install cPanel/WHM on the VPS.

    Thank you... maybe a bit of a misunderstanding... we want to host regular clients on the server using WHM cPanel, and one or more of VPS clients on the same server using VPS cPanel (using one WHM and one or more VPS cPanel license).

    Possible?

    So, let me see if I understand this correctly.

    1 Physical Server
    1 VPS with cPanel/WHM for shared hosting
    1 VPS with cPanel/WHM for 1 customer
    1 VPS with cPanel/WHM for 1 customer
    1 VPS with cPanel/WHM for 1 customer
    1 VPS with cPanel/WHM for 1 customer
    1 VPS with cPanel/WHM for 1 customer

    As such?

    Let me clear things up.

    Think that a dedicated server is a cake, and every slice is a VPS. With every slice (VPS), you can decorate it (install cPanel/WHM). But, in order to slice the cake, you must have a knife, in this case is Virtualization.

    You cannot create VPS with cPanel/WHM. You will need SolusVM to create VPS.

    The above is possible

    I wouldn't go as far as saying it isn't possible, libvirtd and the kvm modules would not effect cPanel, but it might effect your access to support from cPanel, and I also think it would be a huge waste of money on a full license when there is no difference in the software running it in a VPS, only the license fee.

    It's possible, but far less than ideal. And as previously mentioned, you might as well run it on a VPS to lower licensing costs if you're doing virtualization anyway.

    What you could do and I think would be the simplest way is to divide your server in lets say 6 VPS's. You use one of those to sell the shared hosting on your own and you can sell the other 5 VPS's to your clients that want a VPS.

    Possible if only you virtualized your physical server and slice to piece for individual cPanel VPS.
