Overview
Commands that you enter in this interface can render your cPanel account inoperable. We strongly recommend that only users with command-line experience use this feature.
The Terminal interface allows you to access an in-browser terminal application for direct command-line access within a cPanel & WHM session.
-
This interface only appears if both of the following conditions are true:
- You possess shell access.
- Your hosting provider enables the SSH Access & Terminal feature in WHM’s Feature Manager interface (WHM >> Home >> Packages >> Feature Manager).
-
For information on how to identify and contact your hosting provider, read our How to Identify Your Hosting Provider documentation.
-
This feature only appears if your hosting provider’s server profile enables it.
-
If you log out of the cPanel interface, all associated Terminal interface sessions will automatically close after a short period. Any commands still running in those terminal sessions will continue to run until that session closes.
