WHM is the control panel for managing client accounts under your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squarebrothers.in\/hosting\/cpanel-hosting\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.squarebrothers.in\/hosting\/cpanel-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reseller hosting package<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Login to WHM<\/strong>: Use the URL <code>https:\/\/example.com:2087<\/code> and enter your reseller credentials provided by your hosting provider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-setting-up-hosting-packages\">2. <strong>Setting Up Hosting Packages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bestvpshosting.in\/vps-web-hosting\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bestvpshosting.in\/vps-web-hosting\/\">Hosting packages<\/a> define the limits for the accounts you will create for your clients, such as disk space, bandwidth, and other resources.
