# cPanel App for iOS

Recently, cPanel released the **cPanel App for iOS** which allows you to maintain your server from anywhere you take your iOS device! This means that you can connect your iPhone/iPad directly to your server for cPanel, Webmail, and WHM access. The following guide will show you **how to setup the cPanel App using an iOS device**.

[*cPanel*](https://cpanel.com/) is the main software installed on your server that controls various web hosting components of your account. You can [use cPanel](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/cpanel/cpanel-control-panel/) to create email accounts for your domain, manage your DNS zone records, and much more. cPanel’s [Webmail](/support/email/webmail-how-to-send-receive-email-with-your-web-browser/) application allows you to send/receive email, view your email settings, and more. If you are a reseller or have a VPS/Dedicated server, you can use cPanel’s [Web Hosting Manager (WHM)](/support/edu/whm/) application to create cPanel accounts, suspend/unsuspend cPanel accounts, and much more.
