# WHM cPanel Server

cPanel and WHM let you administer websites, hosting accounts and email through a web interface. Choose your VPS, then a licence sized for your cPanel accounts.

- Manage websites and databases
- Create hosting accounts in WHM
- Administer email and DNS

Count separate cPanel accounts and choose a compatible operating system. Prepare DNS and backups before migrating accounts.

## Separate server administration from website management

WHM organises hosting accounts, while cPanel provides an account’s interface for files, databases and email. A business managing several projects can structure access without giving every contributor complete server administration rights.

## Choose a licence by account count

List projects needing a separate cPanel account before choosing Solo, 5, 30 or 100 accounts. An account is not simply a domain name. For migration, also inventory mailboxes, PHP versions and DNS records; test websites before switching their addresses.

## Does one cPanel account mean one domain?

The licence counts cPanel accounts, not simply domains. Domains allowed within an account depend on its configuration.
