CA (Certificate Authority) Bundle: A file on your server that verifies that your public and private keys were issued by a trusted entity.

Certificate Signing Request (CSR): A request for a certificate sent by a server’s administrator to a certificate authority.
BoxTrapper: An application included with cPanel that filters spam by requiring would-be senders to reply to a verification email (also known as challenge-response verification). Only after the sender is verified through the reply will his or her original email be accepted.
BoxTrapper Blacklist: A list of email addresses from which incoming mail will be automatically blocked by the BoxTrapper application. cPanel automatically sends a configurable warning message upon receipt of mail from a blacklisted address.
BoxTrapper Ignore List: A list of email addresses from which incoming mail will be blocked. cPanel does not send a warning message upon receipt of mail from an address ignored by the BoxTrapper application.
BoxTrapper Whitelist: A list of email addresses from which incoming mail will automatically be accepted by the BoxTrapper application. See also BoxTrapper Ignore List and BoxTrapper Blacklist.
WHM Scripts
When cPanel and WHM is installed, a number of predefined scripts become available in your server’s /scripts directory.
For example, if you wanted to run the update script, you would type:
#easyapache — Upgrades and reinstalls Apache.
#phpextensionmgr — Manages PHP extensions.
# restartsrv_* — Restarts a service.
# *up — Updates a service.
