Why Use WHM (Web Host Manager)?<\/h2>
These are the key points why you should use WHM for managing multiple websites:<\/p>
- \n
- Higher security for sites<\/strong>. A different cPanel for each site means that if one domain gets hacked, the others won’t be affected, thus making them more secure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Better management<\/strong>. You have the power to monitor all activity on your websites<\/a> and jump between cPanels easily. WHM also allows you to adjust the bandwidth and disk space of each account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reselling hosting<\/strong>. You can monetize your hosting by creating new cPanel accounts that people can buy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Unique cPanels for branding<\/strong>. For reselling purposes, a WHM interface can be changed to reflect your brand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>
What WHM Does?<\/h2>

<\/figure><\/div>Here are some major functions you can do with WHM:<\/p>
Create, Delete, or Suspend Accounts<\/h3>
\n![\"Creating](\"\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/create-new-cpanel-account.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>WHM lets you add multiple cPanel accounts and set a default page for each of them.<\/p>
To do this, go to Account Functions<\/strong> and fill in all information including the domain’s details, DNS<\/a> settings, and mail routing options. Then, click Create<\/strong>.<\/p>
What is more, if one of your customers violates the agreement or their account is expired, you can delete or suspend it by going to the List Accounts<\/strong> menu.<\/p>
Monitoring Servers<\/h3>
All activity on your server can be tracked through WHM. For example, there is the Process Manager<\/strong> that registers all running process in the server.<\/p>
Secondly, with the Service Manager<\/strong>, the owner can manage services and their background activities.<\/p>
And last but not least, Current Disk Usage<\/strong> will inform about remaining storage and what it’s used for.<\/p>
Set Several Hosting Packages<\/h3>
As the WHM account owner, you have the freedom to decide how you will divide the storage. This is useful when you want to provide various hosting packages at different prices.<\/p>
What’s great is that you’re able to easily upgrade an existing domain without having to move all the files.<\/p>
Transfer Files<\/h3>
It is possible to move files from remote server to your hosting just in case your new customer has created their website in another place.<\/p>
Customize Your Reseller Brand<\/h3>

<\/figure><\/div>You might want your server to be unique even though you’re reselling it from the original hosting company.<\/p>
With WHM, you’re free to have your own logo, documentation links, cPanel style, and company’s public profile.<\/p>
These settings can be found in the cPanel<\/strong> tab -> Customization<\/strong>.<\/p>
Market Provider Manager<\/h3>
This feature lets you manage and display products that the customers may purchase through their cPanel, such as multi-year SSL contract or package upgrade.<\/p>
SSL Certificates Management<\/h3>
If you are a reseller, customers will expect that your hosting has everything they need, including an SSL certificate. Luckily, you’ll find the feature to install and manage it in the SSL\/TLS<\/strong> tab.<\/p>
Enable cPHulk for Increased Security<\/h3>

<\/figure><\/div>Turning cPHulk<\/a> on will protect all domains from outside attacks by limiting access that forces its way to the cPanel.<\/p>
Backup and Restore File<\/h3>
You can activate automatic backups to run on a single or all accounts on your server. Then the data will be uploaded to remote storage, such as Google Drive<\/a>, WebDAV<\/a>, and so on.<\/p>
The backup settings, alongside the restore features, are located in the Backup<\/strong> tab.<\/p>
Provide CMS for cPanel Users<\/h3>
We suggest that you provide several options to make sure your users can install the content management system<\/a> of their choice. This function can be enabled under Manage cPAddons Site Software<\/strong>.<\/p>
Tweaking<\/h3>
There’s a ton of features in this section that can add to or edit many things on your server, including spam protection, default login theme, and notification warnings.<\/p>
Plugins for cPanel<\/h3>
cPanel is compatible with plugins like Munin<\/a> (server monitor), ClamAV<\/a> (virus protection), and Solr<\/a> (text indexing) and if you find some of them useful for your customers, you can add them through Manage Plugins menu.<\/p>
