How to Email All Users in WHM?

WHM or Web Host Manager is also a very useful control panel to satisfy the server administrators and resellers who are fully empowered to manage lots of cPanel accounts and many more server options. 

Another proximity of WHM is indeed granting the root access to the system allowing it to communicate with all users on the system by e-mail. This functionality is especially effective in delivering updates, notifications, and information that are important to the viewers. 

Let’s take a closer look at how to email all users in WHM; we’ve also included some tips to help you better reach your audience.

Step 1: Access WHM

If you want to take the first step, you have to be signed in to your WHM account. Enter your username and password on the login page, which is typically accessed through a URL in the format of https: Assuming that you have a web server showing the content of a site like mysite.com on your local computer accessing it through your browser using localhost, the address will look like this: mysite.com:2087 //yourserverip. After logging in you will be redirected to WHM home interface, which is a control panel that allows you to control all elements of your servers.

Step 2: Locate the Email All Users Feature

In the WHM dashboard, it must be possible to specify the tool to email all users on a server. It is often achieved by typing ‘Email All Users’ in the search bar located at the top left corner of the WHM interface. It’s easy to find the specific tool you need with WHM’s search function; employing this option will return the desired tool immediately.

Step 3: Compose Your Email

Once you click on the "Email All Users" feature, you’ll be taken to a page where you can compose your message. Here, you will find fields similar to a standard email client:
Subject: Enter a concise and informative subject for your email. This helps users understand the importance and content of the message at a glance.

Message Body: Compose your message here. You can format your email using plain text or HTML. Be clear and direct in your communication. For HTML emails, ensure that the code is clean and compatible with various email clients to avoid display issues.

Step 4: Review and Send

However, it is recommended that one should implement proofreading the email before sending it out. Look for typographical errors or violations of the stylistic guides and ensure that all the facts presented are correct and as recent as the current day. 

Another feature that still makes more sense is to check the layout of the actual message by sending it to yourself or a friend and viewing it in a proper email program. Before you start, ensure that all the boxes are checked before hitting the ‘Send’ button, to send the email to all users that are linked to cPanel accounts on the server.
