cPanel, announced this week the release of version 11.24 of their industry leading server management software.  Version 11.24 introduces a new initiative to cPanel’s software, cPanel Accelerated.  cPanel Accelerated brings new features designed to decrease system resource usage and increase speed and performance significantly from previous versions.

A substantial portion of the codebase of cPanel and the x3 interface itself has been streamlined and made to perform better and require less bandwidth.  Also available as part of cPanel Accelerated are two alternatives for DNS and IMAP.  The NSD nameserver can reduce memory usage for DNS functions by up to 40% over BIND.  On busy nameservers that can add up to a huge resource savings.  Also included in version 11.24 is Dovecot IMAP as an alternative to Courier IMAP.  Dovecot provides up to a 25% reduction in disk I/O as well as using between 10% to 70% less memory then Courier.  Security has also been enhanced with the reworking of cPanel’s process monitoring daemon to include service specific verification which helps to improve the security of running processes.  Backups are faster too.  Pkgacct 8 has been reworked to become significantly faster then previous versions.  That means you can safely backup your data and restore it, both incrementally & non-incrementally much more quickly then previous versions.  This all adds up to increased performance, reduced resource usage and ultimately a more efficient webhosting operation for cPanel customers.

As of Thursday, 10/30/2008, 11.24 and all its new enhancements will be available in the CURRENT build of cPanel.  11.24 will then make its way into the STABLE tree later in November.  The best part of upgrading to 11.24 is that it’s very simple.  Also, many of the improvements introduced require no user interaction, they just work.

Cpanel Hosting News 11.24, Cpanel, whm

cPanel and WHM 11.24 offer new features such as NSD and Dovecot while streamlining our code base. The end result is a sleeker program that minimizes system requirements. The x3 interface itself has also been streamlined, requiring significantly less bandwidth, as seen in the figures below. These new features will result in faster overall load times and improve your everyday web hosting experience.

The amount of improvements made to the core software can not be overstated. We have improved interfaces for configuring mail servers, FTP servers, web servers, and name servers. DNS clustering has also been imbued with many speed enhancements which, coupled with NSD will make DNS functions run at top speed. cPanel’s backup system has been reworked to realize significantly higher speeds. This will make creating, or restoring from. incremental or compressed backups substantially faster.

Also introduced in 11.24 is the cPanel Accelerated initiative. This new track for cPanel caters directly to dedicated server owners and administrators. The backend engine of cPanel has many updates and is reworked to yield enhanced performance on dedicated servers.
