For the uninitiated, when presented with the choice between a Linux- or Windows-based web hosting there's probably no really good way to explain the benefits of one over the other. Many will choose Windows® simply because that's what they've used at home and the office. But if you prefer your servers running Linux, you know why and there's no force on earth that will convince you otherwise!

However, once you consider becoming a hosting reseller you have more than your own preferences to consider. After all, are your clients going to be comfortable purchasing hosting on an operating system they are less than familiar with? The quickest way to put potential clients' minds at ease is to top off that rock-solid Linux server with an established, user-friendly control panel. And when it comes to control panels, cPanel® is the gold standard.

Where there's cPanel® for customers, there's WebHost Manager (WHM™) for resellers. In addition to all the functionality that cPanel® brings at the domain level, WHM™ will help resellers with tasks such as:

 fully branding your cPanel® interface,
 creating customized hosting packages for customers to purchase,
 managing customer cPanel® accounts,
 setting security and bandwidth preferences,
 and managing Apache modules for customer accounts.

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 hosting reseller, that means bringing industrial-strength performance to your server space and the user-friendly cPanel® interface to your customers.
