WHM is the management panel for the users using resellers, VPS and Dedicated hosting services, but features vary according to the plan and service provider. WHM has so many features that helps user not only to manage the hosted cPanel accounts but also to manage the services that a hosted account has. 

Some of such features are IP Functions, DNS Functions, Restart Services etc. I've written articles on the topics related to same. You can also visit the blog at www.blog.redserverhost.com.

Today, I'm sharing an article that illustrates about one of the feature of WHM, i.e Host Access Control. This interface allows user to manage the server and services based on IP Addresses that are used by the hosted accounts by setting up specific rules.
