What is the difference between WebHost Manager and cpanel

This demo assumes youve already logged in to WebHost Manager.

Now lets learn what the difference is between WHM and cPanel.

WHM is a resellers, or hosting providers control panel. It is what resellers or hosting providers use to create and manage end-user hosting accounts.

cPanel on the other hand, is the end users control panel. It is what the hosting providers customers use to manage their individual hosting accounts.

We are currently logged in to WHM, so lets go take a look at our list of hosting accounts.

Click the account information link.

Then click the List Accounts link.

Here is a list of accounts in this WHM. Once again, each of these accounts have their own individual cPanel, and we can login to their cPanel by clicking the corresponding link.

Lets login to the cPanel for demoreseller.com

Thats it! As you can see here, were now in the cPanel control panel for the demoreseller.com hosting account.

WHM admins have the ability to login to their customers cPanel control panels without their username or password. This can be useful in helping customers learn how to use their cPanel.

Ok, now lets close this window and return to WHM

Welcome back to WHM (WebHost Manager).

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know the difference between cPanel (end users control panel) and WHM (hosting providers control panel).
