# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember that only the username and password of the main account of the reseller plan will open the WHM control panel.
{% endhint %}

#### 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have a Cloud plan, remember that only the "root" username and password will open the WHM control panel.
{% endhint %}

### 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.

1. Log in to your [**Client Area**](https://github.com/sitioshispanos/gitbook-helpdesk-en/blob/master/guias/client-area/accessing-the-client-area.md) and click on **Services**, then **My Services**.

3. 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.
