My MozOut vs WHM: the reseller panel explained

WHM is not an advanced version of cPanel, nor a replacement for My MozOut. It is the panel for people who administer other people's accounts — resellers and server owners.

The three levels, in order

1 My MozOut — your relationship with us: what you bought, what you owe, what you asked for.
2 WHM — only if you have a reseller plan or a server: you create and manage your clients' cPanel accounts.
3 cPanel — one specific hosting account: that site's files, e-mail and databases.

Who has WHM

If you have... WHM? What you use
Shared hosting No $P and cPanel
Reseller hosting Yes $P, WHM and each client's cPanel
VPS or dedicated with cPanel installed Yes $P, WHM and cPanel
VPS with no panel No $P and the command line

What WHM does that nothing else does

1 Create cPanel accounts for your clients, each with its own domain.
2 Define packages — how much space, how many mailboxes, what limits each client gets.
3 Suspend and reactivate accounts, typically over non-payment to your business.
4 See the server from the inside — load, services, logs.
You do not edit anyone's site in WHM. To touch a client's files or e-mail you go into that account's cPanel — one click away from WHM. WHM creates and administers; cPanel is where the work happens.

WHM lives at yourserver:2087 . If you are starting out, see first steps as a reseller .

Not everyone needs this. If you have one site, or five of your own, shared hosting with cPanel is enough. WHM makes sense when the sites belong to your clients and each needs their own access.
