Multiphp Manager is one of the major improvements introduced by Cpanel team with Easy Apache 4. In order to use MultiPHP Manager you will need to upgrade the Easy Apache version to 4. The MultiPHP manager allows users and administrators to select the server default and per-domain default PHP versions. So though you have running PHP 5.6 as server’s default PHP version and if your website reuqires PHP 7, you can now easily change the PHP version to PHP 7 for that particular website through MultiPHP Manager.
The MultiPHP manager is available with Latest Cpanel release with EasyApache 4.

Login to your cPanel <exampledomain.com/cpanel>

This interface of cPanel helps you to enable gzip compression. Apache allows you to compress the data before sending it to the browser and then web browser extracts the data and displays the webpage. All modern browsers support gzip compression. This gzip compression needs Apache mod_deflate to function currently, which is available in most cPanel installed Linux servers. This compression is very useful, because it helps in compressing data hence our bandwidth is saved, plus it makes our website to load much faster.
You can compress specific types of MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) or you can compress all the files using this interface.
To enable gzip compression, follow these steps −
Step 1 − Open cPanel Optimize Website interface by clicking on Optimize Website link in the Software section of cPanel.
Step 2 − In Optimize Website, you will see Compress Content.
You can choose from the following −
Choose Disable to disable gzip compression.
Choose Compress All Content to enable gzip compression for all content.
Choose Specified MIME types and provide MIME types in text box. MIME type are similar to file types. It has both file type and file format information separated with a slash. E.g. text/javascript, text/css, image/jpg, image/png etc.
Step 3 − Click Update Settings to update the settings.

Imunify360 features an excellent Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) with a comprehensive collection of “deny” policy rules to quickly block all known attacks, especially those using a common or well-known exploit tool.
The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) provides excellent visibility of server security by monitoring server logs. It scans log files from all different angles and bans IPs that show malicious signs, such as password failures, potential exploits, etc. It helps protect your server from attacks and reports to the Imunify360 dashboard.

Over 68% of hosting providers say that malware infection is a top issue for their customers’ web servers.
Imunify360 automatically scans file systems for malware injection and quarantines infected files.
Proactive Defense
Imunify360’s Proactive Defense (previously known as Sandboxing) protects websites against zero-day attacks – it stops even the malware that no scanner is able to detect. It identifies attacks on your Linux web servers in real time, then blocks potentially malicious executions automatically and with zero latency.
Proactive Defense uses a unique method of identifying security risks – it analyzes what scripts do rather than what is actually in the code.
