WHM (Web Host Manager) is a powerful administration tool that is typically used in conjunction with cPanel, but focuses on server management and the administration of multiple cPanel accounts from a single access point. WHM is ideal for web hosting providers, system administrators, and developers who need to manage multiple websites or hosting accounts.
Some of the main features of WHM include:
- Creation and management of cPanel accounts: Allows you to create and manage multiple cPanel accounts, assign different hosting packages with various resource limits.
- Server configuration: Manages key server settings, such as PHP versions, security, and network configurations.
- Resource control: Sets bandwidth, disk space, and CPU usage limits for individual accounts.
- Server security: Configures firewalls, malware protection, and other security settings to protect the server and its associated accounts.
- Server monitoring: Monitors server status, including CPU load, memory usage, and disk space.
- Backups and restorations: Automates and manages backups of the server and individual accounts.
- DNS management: Manages DNS zones for all domains on the server.
WHM provides a higher level of control than cPanel and is essential for efficiently managing the operations and infrastructure of a hosting service. Its use enables effective and centralized administration of multiple websites and facilitates the scalability of hosting operations.
