Learn to Brand and Customize cPanel Accounts with WHM

Did you know that you can replace the standard server logos with your own company name and colors to look more professional to your clients?

You need to build your own brand identity to help grow your hosting business.

What is cPanel Branding

Branding is the process of changing the visual look of the cPanel interface for your customers. It allows you to put your business logo in the header and provide your own support links. This ensures that your clients always see your brand instead of the software developer’s name.

Customizing the dashboard creates a consistent experience for your users. It helps build trust as customers feel they are using a service that belongs entirely to you.

How to Customize Your Brand

You can update your business details and images through the customization menu in WHM. This section handles everything from your company logo to your official help desk links.

Make sure your logo files are in the correct format before you start the upload process.

• Login to WHM and click on the cPanel section then select Customization.
• Go to the Customize Branding tab to start entering your business information.
• Type your official business name in the provided text field.
• Enter your specific Help Link and Documentation Link for customer support.
• Select your image files for the main Company logo and the Webmail logo.
• Upload a small icon that will appear in the browser tab for your users.
• Press the Save button to apply these visual updates to all accounts.

Changing the Interface Style

You can also change the entire color scheme and layout of the dashboard. WHM provides several pre-made styles that give the cPanel a fresh and modern appearance.

A unique style helps your hosting service stand out from other competitors in the market.

• Switch to Style Tab: Click on the Customize Style tab at the top of the page.
• Browse Styles: Look through the available visual themes provided by the system.
• Select and Upload: Pick your favorite theme or click Upload a Style to add a custom one.
• Apply Default: Set the chosen style as the default for every new account you create.

Setting Public Contact Info

Public contact details appear on server-generated pages like “Account Suspended” or “Coming Soon” screens. This ensures that people know how to reach you if there is an issue with a website.

This information is visible to the general public and not just your logged-in users.

• Navigate to the Public Contact section within the customization area.
• Type the web address of your contact page or support portal.
• Verify that your business name is correct for public display.
• Click the Save button to update these global contact settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different logos for different customers?

The branding settings in WHM apply to all accounts on the server or under your reseller profile. You cannot set a unique logo for just one specific user account. Your main company logo will be the primary image for everyone.

What size should my logo images be?

It is best to use transparent PNG files for a clean look in the dashboard. Most logos look good at a height of 50 to 100 pixels. Avoid using very large files as they might take longer to load for your clients.

What is a favicon in cPanel?

A favicon is the tiny image that appears next to your website title in the browser tab. Adding your own favicon makes the hosting panel look like a professional part of your website. It adds a small but important touch to your brand identity.

Will my branding disappear after a server update?

No the system saves your branding settings during regular server software updates. Your logos and links will remain active unless you manually change them. You should keep a backup of your logo files just in case you need to re-upload them later.
