What Is WHM?
WHM (Web Host Manager) is the command center for managing a web hosting server.
It’s mostly used by hosting providers or agencies that manage multiple websites and cPanel accounts on one server.
With WHM, you can:
- Create, delete, or modify cPanel accounts
- Monitor server status and usage
- Manage security settings, firewalls, and SSL
- Configure DNS zones, email services, and more
If cPanel is what website owners use, WHM is what the host uses to keep cPanel in check.
Why Does It Matter?
If you're managing multiple clients or hosting many websites, WHM:
- Centralizes everything 🗂️
- Gives you more control than standard cPanel
- Helps you troubleshoot server-wide issues
- Makes it easier to manage resources, permissions, and backups
It’s built for scalability, reliability, and admin-level access—all in one interface.
