cPanel Plugins
cPanel Plugins are added interface links in the cPanel interface. Plugins allow hosts to add links to applications they have developed, or third party links, even those outside of the cPanel interface.
cPAddons
Another type of plugin is a cPAddon; an application packaged specifically for the cPanel platform. A server administrator can install the cPAddon, providing access for domain owners. Domain owners can then install cPAddons on their websites through the Site Software link in the cPanel interface.
Interfacing with cPanel and WHM
cPanel and WHM offer a variety of APIs for extending the functionality of our software. You can automate many common functions of both cPanel and WHM. You also have access to hooks, which let you integrate your own maintenance scripts with cPanel to perform specific tasks.
