Control panels are not available for Virtual Servers with less than 2 GB of RAM, and are thus available for models M, L, Lm, XL, XLm, and XXL.
Information
Leaseweb does not offer Control Panel as an option with Cloud Servers, as our Control Panel suppliers do not support their software on a virtual network configuration. However, you can install a Panel software on CloudServers yourself at your own discretion.
cPanel & WHM
cPanel & WHM is one of the most popular control panels. It has an abundance of features, and if any feature isn’t there, you will most likely be able to get it as an add-on.
cPanel account tiers
cPanel Admin with 5 accounts and cPanel Pro with 30 accounts are only available for VPS. cPanel Premier with 100 accounts is available for both VPS and Bare Metal Servers. The number of accounts in Premier package can go up in 50 account increments.
Accessing WHM
By default, WHM accepts HTTPS connections on port 2087. Type the URL in your browser in the following format:

Plesk
One of the unique features of Plesk is the possibility to customize the UI. The entire control panel is expandable, stable, and can be enhanced with a few clicks. One of the advantages of Plesk is the licensing structure, starting with 10 domains, then 30, and unlimited.
Plesk is the only panel that also supports Windows with IIS and ASP.
