cPanel features?

Charlie Samoin

Hi, I'm not that techie person. I don't have linux system command knowledge. So if I get a Digital ocean droplet and cPanel for my blogs, will I be able to strengthen the digital ocean server right from the cPanel dashboard?

Like making the server secure from potential hackers and stuff? For example changing SSH password, disabling root admin, adding another user, assigning certain privileges to the user, open and closing certain ports and implementing other security measures without touching the command line?

    Hey there!  Not entirely - while cPanel is a great assistant to make running a web server and its associated applications easier, it doesn't replace sysadmin skills for things like this.

    We do have the SSH password authorization tweak option here: https://docs.cpanel.net/whm/security-center/ssh-password-authorization-tweak/

    You could install a tool like CSF (no affiliation) to help manage the firewall on the server, as that's one area cPanel doesn't touch.  You can create additional users (cPanel accounts and resellers), but for the things you're describing you'll need some command line skills to get those done.
