How can I access WHM?

By Angus Published 23 January 2025 Updated 7 October 2025 2 min read

Web Host Manager (WHM) is a powerful tool that provides administrative access to your Reseller Hosting account. As a reseller, through WHM, you can create, modify, or remove cPanel accounts.

And, apply settings to multiple accounts simultaneously using packages. Separated accounts allows your clients to log into their own cPanel and manage their hosting independently, making WHM an essential reseller tool for effectively managing multiple client hosting environments.

Log in via client area

1. Log in to your account with unlimited web hosting and from the dashboard area expand “Services“, then click “My Services”.
