Enter the location where you wish for new users’ home directories to be created. By default all directories matching the "Home Directory Prefix" are checked for available disk space and the directory with the most free space will be used.

Example: /home
Additional home directories matching the following value will also be used for new home directory creations. (Leaving this value blank disables the feature.) Only mount points are considered. This option only takes one value.

Examples: “home” matches /home, /home2, /newhome, /usr/home, /anythingwith/homeinit
Select a default theme for the cPanel interface. Your selection will be used as the default setting in the following interfaces:
  • Create a New Account
  • Add a Package
The theme you select will also be used for any of the following reasons:
  • An account does not have a configured theme.
  • An account has a configured theme, but the theme is not installed on the server.

The Paper Lantern theme for cPanel is now deprecated, and we will remove it.

The system will default to the System Default theme if you do not use this option to configure a theme.

System Default: jupiter
Select the Webmail default theme.

The system will use your selected theme in the Webmail interface for any of the following reasons:
  • A cPanel account does not have a theme in its account configuration.
  • A cPanel account has a theme in its configuration, but the theme is not installed on the server.

The Paper Lantern theme for Webmail is now deprecated, and we will remove it.

If you do not configure the Webmail default theme, then the system will use the system default theme.

System Default: jupiter
Automatically create a cgi-bin script alias. This setting can be individually overridden during account creation.
This value defines the caching time for host name lookups for domains hosted on this server. When a caching nameserver queries the authoritative nameserver for a resource record, this value defines the number of seconds before the record will expire. Shorter TTL values can cause heavier loads on the nameserver, but can be useful for zones that contain frequently changing records. The range of values in seconds as defined by RFC 2181 is 0 to 2147483647.


  • Required
This value is similar to the previous setting, but is specifically the value used for newly created zone file’s authoritative nameserver entries.


  • Required
Enter the style in which you wish to receive your Apache logs.
  • combined - All information including referers, user agents, and requested files are logged.
