Thread: WHM Cpanel Accelerated

My servers upgraded I believe yesterday to this. Liking some of the new features!

Have you checked it out yet?

I haven't upgraded yet. What's new in the release?

I'll probably be upgrading sometime this week/end...been reading about it...seen a lot of good reviews so far

Yep Me too. Some good Features

Not sure on the exact step by step items, a few more options for ftp built in such as secure connections required and such. More than just that, more options in cpanel for email

Some cool items, have not fully checked it out yet.

Here is a list of the changed/improvements to cPanel/WHM

Improved Back-end Performance -- Faster, Better

cPanel and WHM Version 11.24 has been improved for greater performance. This new version is designed to work smoothly on any server, whether it hosts a single website or thousands of accounts. Performance increases will provide relief to servers hosting many accounts, including the ability to handle over 10,000 DNS zones with ease.

XML-API -- Bigger, Stronger

cPanel's already complete XML-API which allows further automated interaction with third party plugins and software has received some serious upgrades. The previous XML-API had support for 36 distinct functions. The XML-API present in 11.24 boast 48 industrial strength functions which make interaction between cPanel and your scripts and other software much more in depth. Get done what you need done in less time and with more specificity.

Improved Backup Performance -- Speed is safe.

cPanel's backup facilities in 11.24 have seen significant speed increases. In previous versions, load averages while backups were running could be as high as 3. With our reworked and enhanced backup system, load averages tend to stay around 1.2 when backups run on servers with many accounts. This is an extremely substantial performance increase that you and your customers will notice right away. With our new backup system, there is no reason not to keep your data safe.

Transfers

The cPanel account transfer & migration system has been improved in 11.24. Now, account transfers are always done using our latest transfer scripts regardless of what version of cPanel you're running (so long as it's 11.24 or future versions). Transfer scripts are updated on an as needed basis with no intervention needed. This simplifies and streamlines the account transfer procedure when moving accounts from a non-cPanel server to your cPanel based server.

Lightweight NSD nameserver -- Immediate answers to your queries

cPanel and WHM 11.24 add the lightweight NSD name resolution daemon. Focusing on performance rather than functionality, NSD is ideal for authoritative nameservers. It reduces memory usage by up to 40%, increases performance, and utilizes BIND-compatible configuration data. (NSD is not compatible with DNS clustering; for more information, visit 301 Moved Permanently).

VPS Optimized 2.0 boosts performance while enhancing security and stability

Reducing overall memory consumption is the goal of VPS Optimized 2.0. It boasts a 12-15 Megabyte reduction in standing memory usage. Add that to the nearly 60% memory usage reduction that VPS Optimized 1.0 achieved, and you've got a much speedier server.

We've made improvements that address the architecture of core cPanel services, so they benefit everyone, not just virtual server configurations. For example, the cPanel log processing daemon has been redesigned to minimize memory usage while maintaining all of its functionality. And to enhance security, we've reworked the cPanel process monitoring daemon to include service-specific verification, improving the security of running services.

We've also introduced vast amounts of bug fixes. While some are minor, others address potentially critical issues. In the area of DNS clustering, a particularly important bug fix will cause a huge improvement in sync performance and error detection.

And the best part? It's easy. cPanel and WHM 11.24 offer many improvements that require no user interaction. The general bug fixes and core service changes will take effect on your server immediately after updating.

Getting Started -- From point A to Z in 6 steps

Our new Getting Started/Initial Setup wizards make setting up your server easier then ever. In WHM, there are six steps to make server setup as pain free as possible. You can setup network information, hostname, and resolver information. Adding IP addresses at the time your server is provisioned is now as simple as can be. One of the biggest improvements with the new Getting Started wizard is nameserver setup. Before it was a multi-step process which could take quite some time, even for experienced cPanel/WHM users. Now, it's a matter of one screen and you're done. As always, services & quota setup is intuitively easy. Everything is brought into one place to save you time.

All our servers now run Cpanel Accelerated. The speed has improved in comparison to the previous version.

I currently use accelerated...and I would say it faster then the old one....more features i suppose...I just mainly enjoy the speed it has now...and for some reason the skins seems a little crisper for some reason..lol
