The WHMCS Admin Area lets you configure WHMCS, manage orders, work with clients and their services, and perform many more actions while running your business.

Log In to the Admin Area #

To log in to the WHMCS Admin Area:

1. Go to the Admin Area login page. #

Go to example.com/whmcs/admin, replacing example.com/whmcs/ with your WHMCS URL.

• For WHMCS Cloud, this is the URL that you received when you set up WHMCS Cloud.
• For self-hosted WHMCS installations, this is the URL at which you installed the software (for example, https://www.example.com/whmcs/admin) and the credentials that you created during the installation process.
  If you have followed the recommended security steps, you will need to use the custom name you have set up.

2. Enter your credentials. #

Enter your admin username and password.

3. Optionally, select Remember Me. #

Select Remember Me to stay logged in without re-entering your credentials each time you visit the Admin Area:

• A remembered session lasts about 30 days. After 30 days, you must log in again.
• The system remembers you on each device or browser independently, remembering up to five devices per admin account. If you select Remember Me on a sixth device, the system ends your oldest remembered session.
• Logging out, or logging in without selecting Remember Me, ends your remembered session on that device only.
• Changing your password ends your remembered sessions on every device.

4. Log in. #

Click Login.

Next Steps #

After you log in, you will see the Admin Dashboard and can begin using the Admin Area.
