Log in to your WHM control panel using your root user credentials.

In the WHM search bar, you have to click on “Account Functions“

Next, you have to select Terminate Account.

Now, you’ll see a list of cPanel accounts on your server. You have to locate the account you want to delete. Then, you have to click the “Remove” button next to the username of the account you want to terminate.

A confirmation message will appear, asking you to verify if you want to remove the account. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

Second Method:

Keeping DNS Zone (if needed):

• Before confirming, you have the option to keep the DNS zone for the domain associated with that cPanel account on your server.
• There will be a checkbox named “Keep DNS Zone” next to each account. Tick this box if you want to keep the DNS zone.

Final Confirmation:

• Double-check that you are terminating the correct account.
• Click on “Yes, remove this account” to proceed with the termination.

Additional Notes:

You can also terminate multiple accounts at once by selecting the checkbox next to each account you want to remove and clicking “Remove selected accounts” followed by the confirmation.

It’s advisable to back up the website and any important data associated with the cPanel account before terminating it, as this process is permanent.

WHM (Web Host Manager) is cPanel’s server administrative management software. All customers on a Cloud VPS hosting package can access their WHM (Web Host Manager) interface by opening

http://yourdomain.com/whm

Where yourdomain.com is your actual domain name.

* If your domain is not yet pointed to your VPS, you will be able to access the VPS via its server name.

* When you access WHM, you will receive a warning about the SSL certificate used. The reason for the warning is that by default cPanel uses a shared self-signed SSL certificate. You can safely accept the certificate – the connection will still be secure.

* Next log in to your WHM

Note: You will be asked for your WHM login credentials.

1) The WHM username is your cPanel username.

2) The WHM password is your cPanel password.

That’s it! You will be able to manage your Cloud VPS.

Installing mod_cloudflare on cPanel

CloudFlare is a performance and security service. The CloudFlare cPanel plugin makes it easy to integrate into your hosting control panel. The CloudFlare module automatically translates visitor IP addresses to reflect the visitor’s original IP address rather than the IP address of the CloudFlare proxy servers.

Installing mod_cloudflare on a cPanel server is very easy. Just follow 8 steps as below. 

Step 1 :

Download core file by using the following command : 

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/mod_cloudflare/master/mod_cloudflare.c

Step 2 :

Connect to your server through SSH and log in as root.

Step 3 :

Change directory to /usr/local/src by using the following command : 

cd /usr/local/src

Step 4 :

Get the source code for mod_cloudflare by using the following command :

wget –no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/cloudflare/mod_cloudflare/master/mod_cloudflare.c CloudFlare-Tools/master/mod_cloudflare.c

Step 5 :

Build and install mod_cloudflare by using Apache Extension Tool by using the following command : 

apxs -a -i -c mod_cloudflare.c

Step 6 :

Restart the Apache Server daemon by using the following command : 

service httpd restart

Step 7 :

Update the Apache configuration data by using the following command : 

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller –update

Step 8 :

Confirm the module is loaded properly by using the following command : 

httpd -M | grep cloud

.
.
.
.
.

Now,

Apache will log the visitors’ IP addresses instead of the CloudFlare IP’s.
