WHM

Manage your server effortlessly with WHM, whether hosting one site or many. It’s your key to smooth server and cPanel account management.

To avoid IP address denial, add addresses manually in WHM after creating them in your Liquid Web account.

Hosting multiple domains in one cPanel account offers convenience but limits resource customization. Convert an Addon Domain to a separate account in WHM for greater flexibility.

Your website is valuable; protect it with backups. Whether it’s an attack or accidental deletion, backups act as insurance. Customize your strategy and set up backups in WHM for added security.

Use the ConfigServer ModSecurity Control (CMC) plugin in WHM to whitelist specific rules for a secure yet smooth-running site. Configure it with this article’s guidance.

ModSecurity is a Web Application Firewall (WAF) enhancing external security by detecting and preventing web application attacks in real-time. Deploy it seamlessly with minimal infrastructure changes on Apache, IIS7, or Nginx servers. Easily customize its features, but remember to add the plugin to WHM if using cPanel.

cPHulk is an added security feature in WHM, blocking login attempts in various services without affecting regular traffic.

Opt for Liquid Web Object Storage to store cPanel backups separately, ensuring better organization and enhanced security.

Customize ModSecurity’s global settings using the ModSecurity Configuration. Learn to enable the settings you need in this guide.

ModSecurity is a vital defense against malicious attacks. If accidental IP blocking happens, use the ModSecurity CMC plugin in WHM to whitelist IPs.

If you have multiple cPanel accounts and domains on your server, you may want to look into CloudLinux as a way to help restrict the amount of memory each user can access with their site. CloudLinux partitions, allocates and limits server resources like memory, CPU and connections for each user. This makes sure that users don’t jeopardize the stability of the server and cause sites to slow down or in the worst case, stop loading completely.

You can use Host Access Control in WHM to add an extra layer of security to have control over which IP addresses are able to connect to critical administrative services on your server.
