Hello, friends. This useful tool will help you to install CyberPanel on CentOS 8
In short, Cyberpanel is a hosting administration panel that uses OpenLiteSpeed as a server. On the other hand, CyberPanel comes with two versions one is simply called CyberPanel and the other is Called CyberPanel Ent. CyberPanel comes with OpenLiteSpeed and is completely free for an unlimited number of domains and worker processes.
One of the characteristics of CyberPanel is that it is relatively new but very well built with open source technologies such as Git or MariaDB.
