Learn what CalDAV is, how it works for managing calendars across devices, and how AccuWeb Hosting provides CalDAV support via cPanel.
CalDAV, short for Calendar Distributed Authoring and Versioning, is an Internet standard protocol that allows users to access, manage, and share calendar data across multiple devices and applications.
Built on top of WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) and iCalendar standards, CalDAV provides a reliable way to synchronize calendar events between clients, such as:
- Apple Calendar (macOS and iOS)
- Mozilla Thunderbird with Lightning
- Microsoft Outlook (with plugins)
- Android calendar apps
- Other CalDAV-compliant clients
With CalDAV, users can:
- Create, edit, and delete events from any device.
- Share calendars with team members or family.
- Keep calendars automatically synchronized across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
- Collaborate more effectively by using a central calendar server.
