Questions regarding VPS servers

Hi,

As far as i know, DO presently doesn’t have any WHM / Cpanel option. They provide you bare bone setup of different OS like Linux based CentOS or Ubuntu and such…

Thanks…

Hello, brunozerves

You can also quickly deploy a droplet using the one-click droplet from our marketplace.

cPanel is a third party application managed through our Marketplace. New installations of cPanel come with a 15 day free trial. For further use beyond that point a valid license will need to be purchased directly through cPanel. https://store.cpanel.net/view/cpanel/license-options?type=VPS

Please refer to below link for further details:

if you need to upgrade the VPS plan you can always do so via your DigitalOcean account.

Hope this helps! Regards, Alex
