How to access the WHM control panel?
The WebHost Manager (WHM) or Web Hosting Manager is an application that allows you to manage and administer multiple hosting accounts within a single panel.
There are two ways to access the WHM control panel:
Access with a web address.
Access from the Client Area.
Below, we will explain the two access methods:
Access with a web address:
If you have the username and password to access WHM, you can log in directly from your browser.
If your plan is Reseller Access the WHM panel with any of these web addresses:
reseller.yourdomain.com/whm => You can use the domain provided to you to log in.
yourdomain.com/whm => If a domain points to the server via DNS, you can use it to log in to WHM.
yourdomain.com:2086 => Insecure access.
yourdomain.com:2087 => Insecure access.
Remember that only the username and password of the main account of the reseller plan will open the WHM control panel.
If your plan is Cloud Server, access the WHM panel with any of these web addresses:
Cloud_IP:2086 => E.g. 182.162.8.10:2086
Cloud_Hostname:2087 => Recommended way. The hostname must be created.
yourdomain.com/whm => If a domain points to the server via DNS, you can use it to log in to WHM.
yourdomain.com:2086 => Insecure access.
yourdomain.com:2087 => Insecure access.
If you have a Cloud plan, remember that only the "root" username and password will open the WHM control panel.
Access from the client area:
Accessing the WHM control panel from the Client Area is only possible for Reseller accounts. Cloud plans can only access it using the web address method mentioned above.
Log in to your Client Area and click on Services, then My Services.
From the list of hosting plans you have, click on the plan whose control panel you want to access.
On the new screen, you will find, in the Actions box on the left, the option to access the WHM control panel.
You will also see, in the Technical Information box in the center, the direct link to the panel from your browser.
This access will require your username, which you can see there, and the WHM password.
