Updating Cpanel/WHM to Latest Version

Cpanel release patches / updates of their software from time to time, it is categorized as the following :

CURRENT - current / up to date releases
STABLE - Stable releases (advisable to be used on production servers / environments)
EDGE - these updates are actually advanced releases and should NOT be installed or ran on production environments unless otherwise specified(this could create more harm than good, trust me , been there done that)
EasyApache - Updates for Apache / PHP

Changelogs can be viewed at http://layer1.cpanel.net and click on Changelog

To set Cpanel how to update your system :

1. Login to WHM
2. On administration shortcut links --- Under Server Configuration
3. Click on Update Config
4. Choose between manual and Automatic updates

Note : I would prefer choosing Manual updates, be sure to check on Changelogs first before doing an update to make sure no harmful / adverse effects on your system may occur. Happy Administering !
