WHM (Web Host Manager) is a web user interface software that helps end users control hosting and server services in a broader and more comprehensive way. Just as we perform many operations such as SQL installation and adding additional subdomains through cPanel when we own a hosting package, we need WHM panel for opening a hosting package and managing it at a high level.
Services like Reseller and VPS used by many internet users are offered together with WHM service. With this service, users can easily create new hosting packages using cPanel or perform some high-level changes related to their account.
Basic cPanel & WHM Setup
This is the section where contact information is edited, simple settings are made, and nameserver settings are configured. It consists of three sections: All, Contact Information, and Basic Config.
All
Tab containing contact information and basic settings.
Contact Information
Tab containing the contact information required for the server. There is a phone number and email address field to contact the server when there is a problem.
Basic Config
All information related to basic configuration is here. You can determine which IP address accounts opened on the server will use and set the server’s main IP address. The directory that determines where the hosts you create will be placed is determined by the directory you specify here. Web sites are generally hosted from the /home directory. The default cPanel theme to be used in the hosts you will create can be set here. You can also set the default Webmail theme, minimum user ID size for new accounts, and how Apache logs should be stored.
It is important to write an active and regularly monitored email address. When your server’s disk space is full, some services stop, or problems occur, critical operations for your server such as database problems on your websites are notified by email. This way, you can prevent larger problems from occurring on your server.
Name Server
This section allows you to specify nameservers that establish the relationship between your domain names/domain names and the server. When you install WHM/cPanel on a virtual or physical server, this is one of the first places you need to configure. All domains you create on the server will open with the NS addresses you configured here. The domain name you choose is very important — if your domain name expires, all sites on your server will give DNS errors and stop working because they are linked to that domain name.
For example, to configure ns1.ozgurciftci.com pointing to 95.173.189.2 and ns2.ozgurciftci.com pointing to 95.173.190.2, you need to create a special name server record with your IP addresses at the company where you registered the ozgurciftci.com domain name. Then you can enter the name server fields from your WHM panel and direct the sites on the server to these name server addresses.
