cPanel cPanel WHM

cPanel is the industry leader when it comes to hosting control panels. cPanel is a web based hosting control panel at the account level and WHM (Web Host Manager) is the Administrator web based backend for those cPanel accounts. Every reseller account includes it’s very own WHM account as well as a complimentary cPanel account for the main domain that was setup with your reseller account. Your Reseller Account Information email should include all usernames, passwords, domains, and links you will need to get started.

Here are the standard WHM and cPanel links:

cPanel
http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel
or
http://www.yourdomain.com:2082

(yourdomain.com/cpanel is setup automatically as a redirect and will redirect to yourdomain.com:2082)

WHM
http://www.yourdomain.com/whm
or
http://www.yourdomain.com:2086

(yourdomain.com/whm is setup automatically as a redirect and will redirect to yourdomain.com:2086)

You can substitute www.yourdomain.com for the IP address of your server which should be provided in your Reseller Account Information email. This may be necessary if your domain is new and has not propagated yet.
