What is cPanel & WHM ?
cPanel is the end-user control panel for websites, email, and databases. WHM is the server administrator interface used to create accounts, manage packages, and configure the node. ShoHost licence cards cover WHM/cPanel on servers you operate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about licensing, activation, and support. Still have questions? Contact us on WhatsApp +91 94880 91432.
What counts as a cPanel account?
A cPanel account is one isolated hosting login on the server—usually one primary domain with its own home directory, email users, and databases. Reseller-created accounts each count toward your licence account limit. Root WHM access is separate and is not counted as an end-user account.
How do I buy and activate?
Order the cPanel licence for your server (RC or GB) from the pricing cards and enter your server IP at checkout. Pay in USD on the licence store, install WHM on a supported OS if needed, then refresh the licence from the ShoHost client area. In WHM, open License Configuration or run /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt to refresh the licence status. Activation is usually quick once payment clears and the IP matches your order.
How do I fix "licence expired" or sync errors?
Update the IP in the ShoHost client area, ensure outbound connectivity to cPanel licence servers, then run cpkeyclt. Open a support ticket on WhatsApp +91 94880 91432 or [email protected] if the licence still shows expired.
cPanel vs Plesk vs DirectAdmin?
cPanel/WHM suits Linux shared and reseller nodes (ShoHost web hosting uses cPanel). Plesk supports Linux and Windows on servers you manage. DirectAdmin is a lightweight Linux panel—see /plesk-license and /directadmin-license for alternatives.
What is the refund policy?
A 7-day refund applies on eligible licence orders per /system-policies/.
Can I pay for the licence in Indian Rupees (₹ INR)?
Yes. Licences can be paid in ₹ INR at checkout. The price shown in USD is the licence price; your invoice shows the INR amount.
Can I change the licensed IP?
Yes. Request an IP change from the ShoHost client area and the licence is moved to your new server IP.
