What is Web Hosting Manager WHM

In technical terms, WebHost Manager (WHM) is an administrative tool that gives you back-end access to manage multiple cPanel accounts. For a company like SoftSunrise, it’s the master key that allows us to manage everything from server security to individual client packages in one place.

How Does It Work?

WHM works on a hierarchy. As a hosting provider, we sit at the administrative level to oversee the "health" of all our clients' accounts.

Creating the "Packages": Inside WHM, we define the limits. We can create a "Starter Plan" with 5GB of space or a "Business Pro" plan with unlimited bandwidth.

Spawning cPanel Accounts: When a new client joins SoftSunrise, we don't just give them a folder; we use WHM to "spawn" a completely private, 100% isolated cPanel account for them.

The "Wall of Security": Because each account is created via WHM, they are separated. If one client makes a mistake and breaks their site, the other 100 clients stay perfectly safe and online.

Resource Management: If your website suddenly gets a huge spike in traffic from a viral video, we use WHM to "up-size" your resources instantly without moving your files.

Key Features of WHM

White Labeling: It allows SoftSunrise to replace the server’s branding with our own logos, ensuring your clients only see the brand they trust.

Account Suspension/Management: If a client stops paying or violates terms, we can pause their site with one click.

Security & SSL: We use WHM to push out free SSL certificates (HTTPS) to every site we host automatically.

DNS Management: It gives us the power to point domains and set up professional email routing (like hello@yourname.com) with surgical precision.

Why SoftSunrise Uses WHM for You

We don't just "resell" space; we use WHM to engineer your hosting. Whether you need a specialized WordPress environment or a secure portal for a startup, WHM gives us the control to make it happen.
