Mastering the art of delegation is a key leadership skill. Consider providing technically adept users hosting on your server with a CyberPanel user account, empowering them to oversee their raw data and databases.
Granting users the ability to manage CyberPanel users becomes particularly beneficial if they venture into reselling web hosting space, allowing you to concentrate on efficiently managing your Linux server.
