No, you cannot directly access WHM from cPanel. WHM (Web Host Manager) and cPanel serve different purposes and have separate login interfaces.
However, if you have WHM access (as a server administrator or reseller), you can access both WHM and cPanel separately. Below is a detailed explanation of each:
1. Understanding the Difference Between cPanel and WHM Access
- cPanel is used for managing a specific website or hosting account, handling things like files, emails, databases, and domains for that account.
- WHM is used by server administrators and resellers to manage multiple cPanel accounts and the overall server.
2. Separate Login URLs
- To access WHM, you log in via:
- https://yourdomain.com:2087
- https://yourserverIP:2087
- To access cPanel, you log in via:
- https://yourdomain.com/cpanel
- https://yourserverIP:2083
There is no direct link from a cPanel account to WHM. cPanel users do not have permission to access WHM unless they are administrators or resellers with WHM credentials.
3. Accessing cPanel from WHM
While you can't access WHM from cPanel, you can access cPanel accounts from WHM if you're a server administrator or reseller:
- Log in to WHM.
- In the left-hand search bar, search for "List Accounts" under Account Information.
- Find the specific cPanel account you want to access.
- Click the cPanel icon next to the account to log directly into that cPanel account from WHM.
Conclusion
You cannot access WHM from cPanel directly, as WHM is intended for administrators and resellers to manage multiple accounts, while cPanel is for individual website management. However, if you have WHM access, you can log in to WHM and then access any cPanel account from within WHM.
