Enhancing Security

WHMCS includes features to help keep your data safe, and we recommend taking additional steps to secure your self-hosted WHMCS installation further.

General Troubleshooting

General errors can occur in many places throughout WHMCS, and can be due to many different problems. However, fixing them is often simple.

The Admin Area

The Admin Area is the portal that admins access when they work within WHMCS. The WHMCS Admin Area provides access to over 125 features with navigation menus, search functionality, dashboard widgets, and configuration tools for managing your billing system.

Rename the Admin Directory

Customizing the WHMCS admin directory name makes it harder for bots and malicious users to find the login URL for the Admin Area of your self-hosted WHMCS installation.
