WHM Tutorials - Introduction to the WHM Interface Greetings. This is Sarah Kiniry, a technical  writer on the documentation team at cPanel, the hosting platform of choice. I'm here to  show you some of the basic features of the WHM interface. Before we get started, keep in  mind that your interface may appear different from mine. Depending on your accounts permissions,  some of the features and functions that you see in my interface may not appear in your interface.  Now let's go ahead and login to WHM. If this is a brand new installation of cPanel & WHM,  you're going to need to accept our end-user License Agreement first, and we'll suggest that  you set your contact address and name servers. Click finish to continue to WHM. If you're logging  in as the root user and this is your first login since a cPanel & WHM version update, you will see  the Features Showcase here. This lets you know about any especially important changes to cPanel  & WHM. If there are associated settings for them, we'll let you configure that here, too. Just click  Save Settings to save everything. And here we are finally in the WHM home interface. The important  next steps section at the top of the main area includes the icons to setup your contact address,  name server, and Ethernet device. When you're done with that section of the interface, you can  click dismiss to hide it. Below the important next steps, you've got quick access to WHM features. If  you want to see the legacy version of the WHM home interface, click Classic up here. You can switch  back by clicking Default. Click the Lifesaver here to view a support menu. This will give you  options to access our knowledge base, our forums, or our main set of documentation. Or you can  open a ticket with cPanel technical support. Up here the top navigation bar is visible no matter  where you are in WHM. It gives you access to a few different items. Click news to view important news  and announcements from cPanel. Click Change Log to view our change logs and find out about important  changes and bug fixes in cPanel & WHM. Click Log Out, of course, to log out of your account.  Click the cPanel & WHM version number, up here, to navigate to the Upgrade to Latest Version  interface. Staying up to date with our latest version means you get quicker access to all of our  latest features. Click Load Averages to navigate to the Process Manager interface. The numbers  after the link are your servers one minute, five minute, and fifteen minute load averages. For  easy reference you might also see some important server notices here like notifications if  we can't upgrade your server do to upgrade blockers. On the left side of the interface,  you've got a full list of every available WHM feature organized into sections. Click the icon  here to expand and collapse the side menu. Click these icons to expand or collapse the individual  sections. The list of features is pretty long so it might be easier to find things if the  extra sections are collapsed. If you'd rather, you can search for the feature you're looking  for over here. Down here in the right corner, you may see two tabs. This tab lets you  take a short survey about your experience with cPanel & WHM. Just click on the tab and  click Start 90 Second Survey. This one lets you update your settings for the cPanel analytics  interface analytics program. This program sends anonymize data about user behavior to cPanel so  that we can keep improving your experience in cPanel & WHM. Just click the tab and select Allow  Data Collection to enable interface analytics for your account or select to Deny Data Collection  to disable it.
