cPanel not compatible with Debian?

I've ordered a VPS with Debian but had a phone call saying cPanel does not work with Debian so would I take CentOS instead - bit gutted really because I'm far more familiar with Debian and from past experience with dedicated servers Debian seemed to be less of a hog than CentOS. Finding it hard to believe cPanel cant work with Debian though?

Hi Paullo,

I would recommend contacting vps@webhosting.uk.com from your registered email in order to get your order changed effectively and swiftly.

I have just spoken to Harry who has confirmed that cPanel isn't a choice of panel on Debian servers unfortunately

. I would also recommend CentOS

If you wish to use Debian, there's a variety of third party panels out there to use

Thanks Dan - got that phonecall about 6pm tonight, nearly 10 now and still waiting for the account to move from pending to active. I've asked if I can get a Debian system with cPanel - there's no way it doesnt work with Debian. Guess they are having some troubles.

cPanel is best supported by CentOS, but Debian supports Plesk control panel only at the moment..
Have a look at this link for more info on cPanel System Requirements..
