What is WHM?

WHM (WebHost Manager) is the administrative interface that sits above cPanel and lets hosting providers and resellers manage multiple cPanel accounts on a single server. While cPanel is for end-user account management, WHM is for hosting administration: creating, suspending, terminating, and branding individual cPanel accounts.

What WHM Does

WHM gives the reseller or hosting administrator browser-based control over a server’s entire hosting setup. From WHM, you can create new cPanel accounts for customers, set quotas, configure backups, manage DNS, brand the cPanel interface with custom themes, monitor server resources, and handle billing-related tasks.

Core WHM Features

• Create cPanel accounts — Provision new customer hosting accounts in seconds
• Account quotas — Set disk space, bandwidth, email, and database limits per customer
• cPanel theme branding — Apply your logo and colors to the customer-facing cPanel interface
• DNS management — Manage DNS zones for all hosted domains
• Server monitoring — View CPU, RAM, disk usage, and service status
• SSL management — Provision and manage SSL certificates across accounts
• Backup management — Configure and restore account backups
• Reseller account creation — Create sub-resellers under your account
