cPanel and WHM

cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) combine to form a fully featured web hosting control panel system. The cPanel and WHM package allows you to manage every aspect of your server’s web hosting needs through two easy-to-use interfaces. cPanel and WHM help your customers and your staff to manage your servers and the domains and accounts on them.

Powerful & Intuitive Interface

cPanel provides an intuitive interface to help website owners manage their sites, while WebHost Manager (WHM) automates server management tasks for server administrators. Together, they reduce overhead by simplifying complex tasks and allowing customers to manage their own accounts.

Professionals and novices alike love the power cPanel and WHM offers, including the ability to activate new web technologies with the click of a mouse. This allows your company to meet the needs of today’s hosting customers with minimal effort.

Simple

The cPanel interface is intuitive and includes video tutorials and on-screen help. This allows hosting customers to manage their own accounts without needing to contact your support staff for assistance.

Novices can also benefit from the Getting Started Wizards included with both cPanel and WHM.

Secure

cPanel and WHM includes the latest technologies to help keep your server secure. cPanel offers virus protection, rootkit detection, and a host of other tools to allow you to lock down your server. It even helps protect against current threats such as XSRF (“sea surfing”) and XSS attacks.

WHM’s Security Center allows you to easily configure different security settings.

Reliable

cPanel is self-monitoring. If it detects a failed service, it will automatically attempt to restart that service. Plus, recent improvements provide even more hassle-free, robust performance, including our DNS clustering system.

WHM will also notify you via email, IM, or text message of problems that could affect your server’s reliability. This way, you can perform preventative maintenance to keep your server running.

Cutting-edge

WHM/cPanel can automatically update itself and your server’s software. This allows you to stay on top of the latest technology and security fixes. The interface provides you fine-grained control over these automatic updates, allowing you to disable them if you wish.

The EasyApache interface allows you to add support for new web technologies in a few mouse clicks. If you wish to disable a specific feature, you can simply uncheck it.

Extensible

WHM/cPanel offers a variety of APIs for extending the functionality of our software. With these APIs, you can automate many common functions of WHM and cPanel, such as creating and modifying accounts. Plus, WHM/cPanel recently expanded their APIs by adding XML and JSON API functions. They also offer a variety of hooks, so you can insert your own maintenance scripts when cPanel performs specific tasks like changing a user’s password or updating MySQL.

You’re in Control

With cPanel and WHM, you’re in control of your server. You choose which versions of Apache and PHP to run, which applications handle services such as DNS, and a wide variety of other functionality. You can also disable any feature of cPanel for specific users.

Website owners can password-protect portions of their sites and have the accounts of visitors who share their passwords automatically deactivated. The software also offers hotlink protection and the ability to deny problem IP addresses.

Web Developer-Friendly

While cPanel is user-friendly, it also offers powerful features to web developers, while isolating them from performing any task that affects other users on the server.

Web developers can install their own PHP PEAR packages, Perl modules and RoR applications via cPanel. They can also select which version of PHP to use (PHP 4 or PHP 5). A code editor is built into cPanel’s File Manager for the developer on the go.
