cPanel supports CalDAV (calendars) and CardDAV (contacts) protocols, allowing you to sync calendars and address books between your server and your devices or email clients.
Please note: Screens and options may vary slightly depending on your cPanel version and hosting plan.
Accessing CalDAV/CardDAV Settings
- Log in to your cPanel account.
- In the Email section, click Calendars and Contacts.
- cPanel will display the URLs you need to configure your devices and applications.
The typical URLs are:
| Service | URL | |---------|-----| | CalDAV (Calendar) | https://yourdomain.com:2083/cpsess##/3rdparty/davical/caldav.php/username/ | | CardDAV (Contacts) | https://yourdomain.com:2083/cpsess##/3rdparty/davical/caldav.php/username/addresses/ |
The exact URLs are shown in the cPanel interface. Copy them from there for accuracy.
Setting Up on Your Devices
iOS (iPhone/iPad):
- Go to Settings > Calendar (or Contacts) > Accounts > Add Account > Other.
- Choose Add CalDAV Account or Add CardDAV Account.
- Enter the server URL from cPanel, your email username, and password.
- Tap Next and save.
macOS:
- Open System Settings > Internet Accounts > Add Other Account.
- Select CalDAV Account or CardDAV Account.
- Enter the server, username, and password.
Thunderbird (with SOGo Connector or TbSync):
- Install the TbSync add-on and the Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV add-on.
- Add a new CalDAV/CardDAV account with the URLs from cPanel.

Tips
- CalDAV/CardDAV availability depends on your hosting provider's server configuration. If the option is not visible in cPanel, contact your hosting provider.
- Use the same email credentials (full email address and password) for authentication.
- For most users, webmail-based calendar and contacts within Roundcube may be sufficient without additional setup.
