Difference between cPanel and WHM

WHM (WebHost Manager), provides administrative control of your dedicated server or VPS. It allows hosting provider to manage customer’s account. WHM is also a reseller control panel. It is what our customers receive with all Reseller hosting plans and use to manage all their resold hosting accounts in their reseller plan.

You can use the following options in WHM:

  • create individual accounts
  • create custom hosting packages
  • add domains to the server
  • manage features of hosting packages and accounts
  • reset password/contact email address for cPanel accounts
  • edit Resource Limits for cPanel accounts
  • modify DNS zone records for each domain/subdomain
  • set up private nameservers on the server
  • access resold account without entering login details
  • perform basic system and control panel maintenance

cPanel is designed for managing separate hosting accounts on the server. End users/clients are able to:

  • install CMS using Softaculous
  • upload and manage files for their websites
  • add/remove addon domains and subdomains
  • create email accounts and manage email settings and SPAM protection
  • edit DNS records for their domains
  • check website statistic
  • manage databases and backups, etc.
