It has been a while since we initially launched CloudLinux OS 9 for non-panel and custom panel installations. Today, we are taking a step forward by introducing the experimental release of CloudLinux OS 9, now featuring control panel support.

As we embark on this journey of new versions and enhancements, we're kicking off with cPanel integration.
