Use this interface to create, manage, and delete MySQL databases and database users. A database name may contain a maximum of 64 characters. Due to the method that cPanel & WHM uses to store MySQL database names, each underscore character requires two characters of that limit. For information about how to use phpMyAdmin, visit the phpMyAdmin website.
The User Manager interface allows you to manage your Subaccounts. Subaccounts use the same login and password information for email, FTP, and Web Disk services. The system synchronizes the password of each of the Subaccount’s allowed services. This interface also allows you to merge email, FTP, and Web Disk accounts into a single Subaccount
A hotlink occurs when someone embeds content from your site in another site and uses your bandwidth to serve the files. You can use this interface to prevent this issue. To ### Enable hotlink protection, perform the following steps
The Leech Protection interface allows you to detect unusual levels of activity in password restricted directories. After you set the maximum number of logins within a two-hour period, the system redirects or suspends users who exceed it. This is useful if, for example, someone posts a user’s login credentials on a public site.
This interface lets you view, upgrade, or renew your domains' Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates.
You can also view a domain name’s certificate details. For more information about how SSL/TLS verifies server identities to protect your websites, read our Guide to SSL.

This interface allows you to configure how the system routes a domain’s incoming mail. For example, you can use this interface to configure the server as a backup mail exchanger, which will hold a domain’s mail until the primary mail exchanger is available.
This feature allows you to configure automatic email response messages. This is useful, for example, when the recipient is unavailable. When you activate an autoresponder, the system still delivers messages to the inbox as usual.
This interface allows you to filter the email for each email account in your domain. An email filter allows you to set a rule for incoming messages (for example, a message from desired sender). If a message matches that rule, then the system can automatically perform an action on that message
