Web Host Manager, or WHM, is a powerful program that allows administrative access to the back end of cPanel. There are two versions that HostGator uses. Reseller accounts get basic WHM, while Dedicated Servers and VPS accounts get root WHM (also called rWHM) which has features that require root access to the server enabled. Resellers do not have access to rWHM.
