For hosting iOS and Android apps, the most common method is through using app stores such as the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. These stores handle the distribution, security and payment processing for the apps.

As for the difference with cPanel, cPanel is a web hosting control panel that provides a graphical user interface for managing web hosting accounts, files, databases, and other aspects of hosting. It does not provide a platform for hosting mobile apps. Mobile apps require a different infrastructure and set of tools for development, distribution, and management.

There are also alternative app stores and platforms that offer hosting services for both iOS and Android apps, but using the official stores is the most reliable and widely-used option.
