What is WHM (Web Host Manager), and how does it relate to cPanel?

By Gbz • October 17, 2023

WHM, short for Web Host Manager, is a powerful program that allows administrative access to the back end of cPanel. While cPanel handles website and account management, WHM oversees cPanel accounts and various server-related tasks. Essentially, cPanel is for users, and WHM is for server admins, including the configuration of customer-specific options.

Good to Know: WHM is often used by web hosting providers and resellers to manage multiple websites or accounts on a single server, streamlining administrative tasks and server management.
