A cPanel Account, often called a cPanel user, is an Account created by the root administrator or reseller, who logs into the cPanel interface to manage their website.

Customers can still host more than one hundred cPanel Accounts on their servers. Bulk Account pricing starts at the 101st cPanel Account at the price of forty-nine cents per additional cPanel Account.

WHM allows for limiting the number of accounts a reseller may create from the reseller center interface.
