cPGS EOL
  • cPanel would like to thank everyone who over the years used, and helped improve, the cPanel Game Server (cPGS) software. We have determined that cPGS is something we will no longer pursue. The software and mirrors will remain online through the end of October, 2013, to allow people time to transition to an alternate solution.
    Support issues for cPGS will be handled via the community forum.
