A Brief Introduction to the Cloud API
If you have ever set up a Cloud VPS server in the past, you have probably seen how much easier it is to get a new server up and running than a traditional server. Once the server itself is up, of course, there is still plenty of work to do, getting other pieces configured: installing an application, setting up specific database configurations, and so forth.

While the linked articles show how to set each of those options up, they do not give an overview of when either of those options might be in your best interests.
How To: Restore a Domain From cPanel Backups
In this tutorial, we will be reviewing how to restore a domain from cPanel backups. While it is a good and useful thing to have entire server backups enabled, sometimes we only need to restore a single domain.
