Web Host Manager (WHM)

 

WebHost Manager is a web-based tool used for Dedicated Servers, Virtual Dedicated Servers and resellers to manage hosting accounts on a web server.  It is possible to change the skins and perform a branding from a Dedicated server, Virtual Dedicated Server or Reseller account.
