WHM stands for Web Host Manager. It is a web-based control panel that allows you to manage multiple cPanel accounts, as well as the server itself. cPanel is a popular web hosting control panel that provides users with a graphical user interface for managing their website files, email accounts, databases, and other hosting features.
WHM hosting is typically used by web hosting providers who need to manage multiple client websites from a single control panel. It’s also used by businesses that have multiple websites of their own, or by developers who need to manage multiple development environments. It differs from standard web hosting as it provides more control and flexibility, scalability and an affordable pricing structure.
Whether you need WHM hosting or standard web hosting will depend on your specific needs. If you need to manage multiple websites or need more control over your hosting environment, then WHM hosting is a good option. If you only need to host a single website and don’t need as much control, then standard web hosting may be a better choice.
