How to Terminate a cPanel Account in WHM
Terminating a cPanel account in WHM is a permanent action that removes all the user’s data from the server. Check the step below to do it:
Log in to your WHM control panel using your root user credentials.
In the WHM search bar, you have to click on “Account Functions“
Next, you have to select Terminate Account.
Now, you’ll see a list of cPanel accounts on your server. You have to locate the account you want to delete. Then, you have to click the “Remove” button next to the username of the account you want to terminate.
A confirmation message will appear, asking you to verify if you want to remove the account. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
Second Method:
Keeping DNS Zone (if needed):
- Before confirming, you have the option to keep the DNS zone for the domain associated with that cPanel account on your server.
- There will be a checkbox named “Keep DNS Zone” next to each account. Tick this box if you want to keep the DNS zone.
Final Confirmation:
- Double-check that you are terminating the correct account.
- Click on “Yes, remove this account” to proceed with the termination.
Additional Notes:
You can also terminate multiple accounts at once by selecting the checkbox next to each account you want to remove and clicking “Remove selected accounts” followed by the confirmation.
It’s advisable to back up the website and any important data associated with the cPanel account before terminating it, as this process is permanent.
