How do I switch from WHM to cPanel?

Switching from WHM (Web Host Manager) to cPanel is easy if you're managing cPanel accounts as a root user, reseller, or hosting provider. Here’s how you can switch from WHM to cPanel for a specific account.

Steps to Switch from WHM to cPanel:

3. In the Actions column, you’ll see a small cPanel icon next to each account. Click on this icon to log into the cPanel account directly.
