cPanel

cPanel is the dashboard where you manage all your hosting-related functionalities, such as domain names and their DNS zone, email accounts, redirects, aliases, and resource utilization. It is easy to work with and has a very intuitive interface. It has been built to accommodate tech-savvy people, as well as complete newcomers to the web hosting world. This accessibility has made it into the world's leading control panel used by a vast majority of the web hosting companies. Logging in is simple, and we have made a tutorial explaining how to access the cPanel service. Moreover, our expert content writers have created a comprehensive guide containing the know-how on all the cPanel-related services, which should acquaint you with it entirely.

WHM

The WHM or Web Host Manager can be viewed as the "backend" to the cPanel service. Everything that you can accomplish from the cPanel can be achieved from WHM as well with even more control and configuration options. Also, the Web Host Manager provides you a vast number of tools related to the services on the server, such as Apache, MySQL, IMAP, and SMTP. It gives you the ability to create additional cPanel accounts and create your own hosting service, which you can then provide to your friends or clients. Being so saturated with such a massive amount of features, we believe that it was necessary to create a guide, allowing our clients to learn how it works and utilize the tools it provides to manage their websites, services, and users. You can check our tutorials on the matter published on our website.
