What are the primary differences between cPanel and WHM?

By Spiderz • October 17, 2023

cPanel and WHM serve two different purposes in web hosting management. cPanel focuses on website and account administration, offering tools to upload files, manage domains, set up email, and more. On the other hand, WHM provides server-level controls, including creating cPanel accounts, allocating resources, and maintaining overall server health. cPanel and WHM are both part of the same software, that is made by cPanel, L.L.C.

Good to Know: While every cPanel account has one user, WHM can manage multiple cPanel accounts, making it invaluable for hosting providers and agencies with various websites.
