How to Change cPanel Theme


cPanel is a web hosting control panel that is based on unix. cPanel offers users a graphical interface and a number of useful tools to help webmasters to maintain their website more efficiently. cPanel is comprised of three tiers structures that allow administrators, resellers and webmasters to control a wide range of aspects of their website through a standard internet browser.

cPanel was initially designed as a website control panel for Speed Hosting. Speed Hosting is no longer exist. The cpanel was first written by J. Nicholas Koston. Later Web King merge with Speed Hosting and moved their offices to Virtual Development Inc. At that time, cPanel was only avalaible to customers that signed up with Virtual Development Inc. Cpanel 2 was released in 1999. cPanel 3 has a lot of bugs and did not have a user friendly interface. The cPanel interface improves tremendously when Carlos Rego designed the default theme of the cPanel. Due to a quarrel between Virtual Development Inc. and J. Nick Koston, cPanel split into cPanel and Web Panel. Virtual Development Inc. runs the Web Panel but without the J. Nick Koston, it cannot improve.  J.Nick Koston continues to develop and improve cPanel until it become a stable and reliable control panel.
