We have updated cPanel & WHM to version 74 on all of our servers, which focuses on improving existing features and enhancing user experience.
Since Version 64, cPanel has been improving the speed of the backup and restore system. This version brings in more of the improvements, providing more speed and flexibility in cPanel backups.
Improving on the new Git Version Control feature, we now include the ability to automatically deploy changes merged into any branch of your cPanel-hosted git repositories.
Both DNS-based DCV (Domain Control Validation) and Ancestor- (or primary-domain) DCV are added in Version 74. These two will reduce hiccups with SSLs issued by AutoSSL and Market Place Providers.
Stop Spammers and Protect Your Reputation Instantly - Server owners can now select the action that the server should automatically perform when it detects potential spammers.
Protect Your Users from Malicious Email - Apache SpamAssassin Spam Box is now enabled by default for new cPanel accounts, protecting users from common attack vectors.
Increase the Security of SSH Keys for cPanel Accounts - Unless disabled, passwords are now required for any newly generated SSH Keys for cPanel users, increasing security for all cPanel & WHM Servers.
Disable Features at Account Restoration - Administrators restoring accounts can now disable features as they are restoring accounts, rather than disabling them after the account is restored.
Hosting Provider Contact Information on placeholder pages - cPanel now displays the hosting provider's contact information on Account Suspended and Default Webpage placeholder pages, allowing users to quickly and easily contact their providers directly
More Flexible Package Account Options - With Version 74, server owners have more power to create manual account backups that work for them, by expanding the list of things that can be excluded.
Track Remote MySQL Hosts - cPanel has added a text box that allows users to record specific information about each MySQL host, which displays in the Manage Hosts table inside cPanel.
AutoSSL Notification Improvements - The number of configuration options has been streamlined for both WHM users and cPanel users. These changes make it easy and intuitive for users and administrators to configure AutoSSL notifications.
Added Market Provider Flexibility - With Version 74, server owners can now define Wildcard SSL pricing on a per-domain basis using the cPanel Market Provider.
S3-Compatible Backup Destination - They have expanded the backup destinations further to include object storage destinations similar to Amazon S3.
