cPanel/WHM down after failed updates (permission corruption, Perl version mismatches, missing binaries)
Services not starting: cpsrvd, tailwatchd, cphulkd, MySQL, Exim, Dovecot
CloudLinux / AlmaLinux OS upgrade issues
OpenSSL version conflicts breaking cPanel
License expired / dormant mode recovery
EasyApache conflicts and PHP-FPM failures
Database corruption and recovery
Apache/LiteSpeed configuration errors
How It Works
You share SSH/WHM access (temporary, revocable)
I diagnose the root cause — usually within 30 minutes
I implement the fix safely, without touching user data or databases

FAQ
WhatsApp me directly at +92 332 7685715 with: (1) your server IP or hostname, (2) what error you're seeing, (3) when it started, (4) whether you have SSH/root access. I'll reply within an hour, usually 15 minutes. If you don't get a WhatsApp reply for any reason, email hi@waqasahmedwaseer.com — it's monitored 24/7.
Downed cPanel / WHM / Apache / MySQL services, failed OS updates (CentOS to AlmaLinux migrations gone wrong), corrupted configs after yum updates, hacked accounts injecting malware, PHP handler issues, SSL chain errors, Tailwatchd not starting, broken EasyApache 4 builds, mass permission corruption (700 vs 750 vs 755 chaos), MySQL crashes that won't recover, full /tmp disks, mail queue floods, and the 'everything is 500-erroring' meta-disaster.
Minimum: server IP/hostname, SSH access (root or sudo), and one sentence about what broke. If you don't have SSH access, I can guide you through enabling it via your provider's KVM/recovery console. I do NOT need cPanel WHM password if SSH root works.
Both. I work on unmanaged VPS, dedicated servers, and cPanel/WHM environments regardless of the hosting provider (DigitalOcean, Linode, Hetzner, OVH, Hostgator, GoDaddy reseller, your own bare metal — doesn't matter).
Diagnosis: 15-30 minutes for most cases. Fix: 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on what's broken. Most full recoveries (including hacked-account cleanup) complete the same day. Worst case I've seen — a full CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 9 migration recovery — took 18 hours across two days. I'll give you an honest ETA inside the first hour.
Hasn't happened on a cPanel/WHM box yet. If it ever does — for example a hardware failure I can't recover from — I'll refund the fee and help you get the data off the dead server onto a new one. I'd rather lose the fee than ship a half-fix.
Yes. First action on any emergency: take a snapshot if your provider supports it, OR rsync /home and the database dumps to a safe location. Recovery work happens on the live server but never destructively without your sign-off. I document every command I run and send you the log after.
The 'Emergency + Audit' tier ($300) includes a 7-day monitoring period + a hardening report so the same failure pattern can't recur. If you want ongoing protection, the Hosting Support Retainer ($200/mo) covers monthly patches and proactive monitoring.
