Reseller Hosting is a web hosting service where individuals can start and establish their own web hosting business by purchasing hosting plans and server space from a parent hosting company and renting them to their customers as per their website\u2019s requirements. Being a Hosting Reseller, you can sell Reseller Hosting packages<\/a> in a highly customizable manner and at a highly competitive rate. This is the reason why resellers can earn a great profit through this hosting solution. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you buy a reseller account, many top Reseller Hosting providers offer a WHM (Web Host Manager) with their hosting services. It helps Hosting Resellers with several website management tasks, such as adding domains, managing hosting packages, and sending invoices to clients or other billing activities. WHM is an administrative control panel<\/a> for managing customer\u2019s reseller accounts. Hence, WHM is a crucial control panel and needs to be kept secured for your website\u2019s security. For this, you must enhance your WHM password\u2019s strength. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can modify and change the WHM password strength configuration within WHM. However, before we jump right into the steps to change your WHM password strength, let us first see the importance of having a strong WHM password. <\/p>\n

Importance of a strong WHM password<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Having a strong password is of absolute importance to prevent unauthorized and malicious access to your business websites. Choosing a long and complex password will make it difficult for hackers to access your website or guess its password through a brute-force attack or an automated machine attack. These attacks try multiple combinations of numbers, letters, and characters to guess your website\u2019s password and hack it to steal its files and critical information. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your website\u2019s account possesses critical and sensitive information about your customers and your business, which can lead to a major problem if stolen. If your website is compromised and the data is leaked, it questions your business\u2019s credibility and reliability, leading to loss of customers and loss of sales. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition, Google pushes down websites with poor security down the SERP (Search Engine Results Page) position, affecting its SEO (Search Engine Optimization) performance and visibility. Therefore, the more complex your WHM password is, the better security you will have for your website.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is advisable not to include these in your WHM passwords:<\/p>\n
