Admin overview
Requires WHP super admin access. These features are unlocked for customers with a WHP super admin role on the server — for example, anyone running a Virtual Dedicated Server. Customers without super admin won’t see these pages.
What super admin unlocks
Section titled “What super admin unlocks”The same WHP panel you’d use on a customer account scales up: customers with super admin access also see server-wide pages for managing services, firewall rules, monitoring policy, and users. The customer-facing sections (Sites, Domains, Email, etc.) work the same way; the admin sections sit alongside them, gated to admins.
Today, super admin is most commonly handed to customers running a Virtual Dedicated Server — they get full server control as part of the plan.

Things to know before you change server-wide settings
Section titled “Things to know before you change server-wide settings”- One change can affect every site on the server. Where customer-side pages scope changes to one site, admin pages typically scope to the whole server.
- Service restarts are visible to live traffic. Restart Apache or PHP-FPM during a quiet window when possible.
- Backups still apply. Server-level changes don’t bypass the backups you have configured; you can roll back the data side, but service-config changes you made by hand aren’t snapshotted unless you back up
