cPanel and its uses : 

cPanel is a web based hosting control panel provided by many hosting providers to website owners allowing them to manage their websites from a web based interface.

cPanel allows you to do tasks such as edit files, create email addresses, and setup databases.

This program gives users a graphical interface from which they can control their portion of the Unix server.

The cPanel accounts themselves are managed by Web Host Manager, commonly referred to as WHM.

WHM : 

Web Host Manager or WHM, is a powerful program that allows administrative access to the back end of cPanel.

WHM is the control panel for administering a server and allows you to create and manage cPanels and set certain global settings that apply to all the accounts or the server.

WHM is available on most of our Linux hosting plans, including Reseller Hosting, VPS and Linux Dedicated Servers.
