Understanding the relationship between cPanel and WHM is essential for managing Reseller, VPS, or Dedicated servers.
- WHM (Web Host Manager): This is the master administrative dashboard. It is used to create and manage individual hosting account
- cPanel: This is the control panel for the end-user. It is used to manage a specific website’s files, emails, and databases . Think of WHM as the "office" where you manage the building, and cPanel as the "apartment" where the resident lives.
