The cPanel & WHM Dashboard Will Be Getting a Little Lighter.

Greetings cPanel & WHM user,

We’re always working to create a better experience for our users and sometimes that means removing a great feature to streamline the cPanel dashboard.

Logaholic will no longer be included in future versions of the cPanel & WHM dashboard. In its place, users can opt-in to download their stronger, more robust third-party plugin. Information on installing this plugin, which includes a wide array of new tools, is available on their company blog, using the link below.

We will continue to offer full access and support for Logaholic until cPanel & WHM 11.46 reaches End of Life in October 2015. To continue using Logaholic after this point, all you have to do is install the Logaholic third-party app.

Navigate to the Logaholic blog below to find out how to install this powerful new plugin:

cPanel & WHM 11.42 is set to reach End of Life at the end of January 2015.

In accordance with our EOL policy [http://go.cpanel.net/longtermsupport], 11.42 will continue functioning on servers. However, no further updates, such as security fixes and installations, will be provided for 11.42 after it reaches EOL.

We recommend that all customers migrate any existing installations of cPanel & WHM 11.42 to a newer version (either 11.44 or 11.46).
