Maybe you've had a taste of web hosting success as a reseller, or your
website has simply grown beyond what can be effectively handled in a
shared hosting account. Either way, it's only a matter of time before you're ready for your own server. There was a
time when that was a dramatic step, but thanks to virtualisation technology, it's possible to have complete control over a server but without
the
cost and hassle of maintaining server equipment. At its essence, VPS hosting bridges the gap between reselling and dedicated hosting.
Similarly, cPanel's WebHost Manager™ (WHM™) bridges the gap between managing a shared/reseller account and managing a physical
server. With a VPS
powered
by Linux and WHM™, it's possible to smoothly transition from the limits of shared/reseller hosting to the freedom of a virtual private
server all while staying within the comfort of the WHM™ interface.
Using WHM, you'll be able to manage not only customer cPanel® accounts but also reseller accounts on your own virtual server. It allows you
to configure customer and reseller access to cPanel and WHM™ features as well as server-level functionality such as:

performing domain and server-wide backups/restores,

viewing logs and configuring log rotation,

checking server status at a glance,

and monitoring CPU loads and available drive space.
WHM™ and Linux have long been a match made in web hosting heaven, and there's no sign of them splitting any time soon. For the VPS
account, that means bringing industrial-strength performance to your virtual private server, the opportunity for second-generation
revenue
through your own reseller clients, and the user-friendly cPanel® interface to your customers.
