The Meridian theme
Meridian groups cPanel into six goal-based hubs with a dashboard, a sidebar and a command palette. How to find your way around it, and how to switch back to Jupiter.
Use the AI Assistant
Ask questions about your own cPanel account in plain language. What the Meridian AI Assistant can explain, diagnose and change, and what it will not touch.
Connect cPanel to Claude Code with MCP
Link a WebPros account, add cPanel's MCP server to Claude Code, and let an AI coding tool deploy sites and maintain the account for you.
Build a site with Sitejet Builder
Start from a template or describe your site to the AI generator, edit it in the drag-and-drop builder, then publish it to your domain from cPanel.
Create a wildcard subdomain
Add a *.example.com wildcard subdomain in cPanel so any subdomain resolves, for WordPress Multisite or wildcard SSL.
Can I run Magento on shared hosting?
Magento will install on shared and reseller hosting but is not recommended. What it needs, and which WebGee plans are suitable.
Create a subdomain
Add a subdomain such as blog.example.com in cPanel, and choose whether it serves its own directory or shares your main site.
Files WebGee automatically removes
WebGee periodically deletes backups, archives and old junk mail from hosting accounts to reclaim disk space. What is removed, and how to keep what matters.
Moving between WebGee servers
WebGee uses cPanel Live Transfer to move accounts between its own servers with no downtime. Request it through support — do not use the Migration Center.
Give team members their own cPanel access
Create up to seven team users with their own logins and scoped permissions, instead of sharing one cPanel password.
Upload files with FileZilla
Connect FileZilla over SFTP or FTPS, and never over plain FTP — which sends your password in the clear.
Create custom error pages
Replace the default Apache error pages with your own for 404, 403, 500 and any other status code.
NextCloud is not permitted on shared hosting
NextCloud may not be used for file storage on shared or reseller plans. Why, and what to use instead.
Check your disk usage
Find what is consuming your disk space in cPanel, and the four things that account for nearly every unexplained figure.
Use File Manager
Upload, edit and organise files from cPanel without an FTP client, including the settings you need to see .htaccess and wp-config.
Map your hosting as a network drive with Web Disk
Use Web Disk to mount your hosting account as a folder on Windows, macOS or Linux, and when SFTP is the better choice.
Manage cron jobs
Schedule recurring tasks in cPanel, choose an interval that will not exhaust your resources, and stop the emails every run generates.
Enable directory listings
Show a file listing for directories without an index page — and why it is disabled by default.
Set default files for new accounts
Use WHM's skeleton directory so every new cPanel account starts with your own placeholder page instead of a 403.
File and directory permissions
The permissions to use on web files, the ones that cause 500 errors, and why 777 is never the answer.
Stop cron emails
Silence the email cron sends after every run, while keeping the ones that actually indicate a failure.
Convert a cPanel account to an addon domain
There is no tool for this. The manual procedure, the order that matters, and the parts that are irreversible.
Fix "The WebSocket handshake failed" in Terminal
cPanel's Terminal fails when reached through a proxy subdomain. Use one of the addresses that connects directly.
Fix "Your IP address has changed"
cPanel ends your session when your IP changes. Why it happens on mobile connections, and how to stop it interrupting you.
Password-protect a directory
Put an HTTP password in front of a folder with Directory Privacy, and understand what that protection does and does not cover.
The rest of the cPanel tools
A short reference to the cPanel tools that rarely need a full guide — what each does, and whether you should use it.
WordPress
Install, migrate, cache and troubleshoot WordPress and WooCommerce.
What support is included
How to reach WebGee support, expected response times, which channel to use for what, and where the boundary of the support remit sits.
