WHM (WebHost Manager) is the powerful control panel for web hosting administrators that allows you to manage multiple cPanel accounts from a single interface. If cPanel is like managing your individual apartment, WHM is like managing the entire apartment building.

With WHM, you can perform essential administrative tasks including:

• Creating and suspending hosting accounts for your clients
• Managing server resources and monitoring performance
• Installing SSL certificates across multiple domains
• Configuring security settings and firewall rules
• Managing packages and setting resource limits

WHM is typically used by web hosting providers, resellers, and developers who need to manage multiple websites on a single server. It provides the backend tools that make cPanel possible for end-users, offering complete control over server configuration, user accounts, and hosting environment settings.

Key benefits of using WHM include:

• Centralized management of all hosting accounts
• Advanced security features and monitoring tools
• Automated backups and restoration capabilities
• Easy software installation and updates
• Detailed server statistics and reporting

To access WHM, you typically navigate to your server's IP address or domain followed by :2087 (for example: https://yourserver.com:2087). You'll need root-level credentials provided by your hosting company to log in. Once inside, you'll find a comprehensive dashboard with tools organized into logical categories, making server management accessible even for those new to web hosting administration.

Remember: While WHM gives you powerful control over your server, it also comes with significant responsibility. Always backup your data before making major changes and consult documentation when unsure about specific settings.
