Before you install cPanel & WHM or cPanel DNSONLY, you should know that:

• Because cPanel is designed for commercial hosting, we only license publicly visible, static IP addresses. We do not license dynamic, sticky, or internal IPs.
• You should not use NAT when configuring your network settings. Your server should have its own public IP address.
• At this time, we do not provide an uninstaller. Once you have installed cPanel software, you must reformat the server to remove it.
• You should only install cPanel & WHM on a freshly installed operating system.
• The cPanel & WHM installer will install all of the services it needs. If you install services before cPanel & WHM, you will encounter compatibility problems. When you install your operating system, make sure to deselect software package groups such as a Gnome, KDE, and any other GUI desktop environments.
• You will need a working package handler such as yum or up2date (included in default installations of CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux).
