Logging into WHM

Expertise level: Easy

You will have received your login details in your welcome letter from iWeb. To log into WHM, you will need to use your root user and password.

You can log into WHM in your web browser by using your server's IP address, while specifying a port:

http://ipaddress:2086
http://domainname:2086

You can also log into WHM using whm at the end of the domain:

http://ipaddress/whm
http://domainname/whm

You can also use secure HTTP login, by specifying port 2087:

https://ipaddress:2087
https://domainname:2087

Note that you can use either your server's IP address directly or you can use a domain name associated with your server.

For example, if your server's IP address was 192.168.123.234, you could use the following three methods of logging in:

http://192.168.123.234:2086
https://192.168.123.234:2087
http://192.168.123.234/whm

You could also use a domain, for example, name.com:

http://name.com:2086

https://name.com:2087
http://name.com/whm

In most typical WHM installations, the /whm option will automatically redirect to the secure login.
