cPanel comes equipped with an application that is capable of managing a rotation schedule for your banner advertisements. This is useful if you would like your visitors to see different logos or advertisements each time they access your site. To begin, click the Entropy Banners link in the CGI Center.
Configure Rotating Banners
To set up rotating banners, you must first add banners:
- Click the Add Banners button.

- You can repeat this process for each banner you would like to add.
- You can choose up to 12 images at a time.
- If you want to replace existing banners, click the checkbox next to Overwrite existing files.
- This will replace older ads with newer ones, as long as they have the same filename.
- Click Upload.
- cPanel will tell you whether the upload was successful.
Remember: The file must end in .shtm or .shtml in order to work on your web page.

cPanel also makes it easy to control how often a certain banner ad will display.
To control the banners’ display schedule:
