Description
WHM (WebHost Manager) is a powerful web hosting management tool used primarily by web hosting providers and server administrators to manage and configure multiple hosting accounts on a server. WHM is commonly paired with cPanel, the user-friendly interface that customers access to manage their websites.
Here’s a general description of its features:
- Account Management: WHM allows administrators to create, modify, and delete hosting accounts, assign packages, and set limits on resources like bandwidth, disk space, and email accounts.
- Server Configuration: It enables server-wide configurations such as setting up security, monitoring server performance, managing DNS, and configuring PHP settings.
- Reseller Management: For hosting companies offering reseller services, WHM facilitates managing reseller accounts and their clients.
- Security Features: WHM includes tools to configure firewalls, manage SSL certificates, block IP addresses, and implement security policies across the server.
- Backup and Restore: Admins can set up backups of accounts and restore them when necessary.
- Server Monitoring: Real-time monitoring and logging tools to track server usage and performance, such as CPU and memory usage.
- Email Management: WHM offers email account configuration, spam filtering, and email delivery management.
WHM is often used by web hosting providers, system administrators, and resellers to efficiently manage their hosting environment.
