<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Step 2: Locate the WHM Search Bar<\/h3>\n

Type:<\/p>\n

![\"how-to-search-accounts-in-whm\"](\"https:\/\/www.webystrata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LA-1.webp\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Understanding the List Accounts Page<\/h3>\n
The List Accounts page provides valuable information about each hosting account, including:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Domain Name<\/li>\n
- Username<\/li>\n
- Account Owner<\/li>\n
- Hosting Package<\/li>\n
- IP Address<\/li>\n
- Disk Usage<\/li>\n
- Status Information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This overview makes it easy to identify and manage hosting accounts.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Searching by Domain Name\/ User Name<\/h3>\n
The most common method of locating an account is by searching for the domain name.<\/p>\n
Example<\/h3>\n
Suppose you manage the following domains:<\/p>\n
- \n
- example.com<\/li>\n
- mybusiness.com<\/li>\n
- onlineportal.net<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Searching by Username<\/h3>\n
Every hosting account has a unique username assigned during account creation.<\/p>\n
Example<\/h3>\n
Usernames may look like:<\/p>\n
- \n
- john123<\/li>\n
- webadmin<\/li>\n
- client01<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To search by username:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Enter the username into the search field.<\/li>\n
- WHM displays the corresponding account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Searching by username is particularly useful when working directly with hosting account credentials.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Step 4: Searching by Account Owner<\/h3>\n
Resellers often manage multiple hosting accounts under their ownership.<\/p>\n
If you need to locate accounts associated with a particular reseller:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Enter the reseller username.<\/li>\n
- WHM filters the account list.<\/li>\n
- Matching accounts appear instantly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This feature simplifies account organization and reseller management.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Step 5: Searching by IP Address<\/h3>\n
In some situations, administrators need to identify which account is using a specific IP address.<\/p>\n
Examples include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- SSL troubleshooting<\/li>\n
- Website migration<\/li>\n
- DNS issues<\/li>\n
- Server diagnostics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To search by IP:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Enter the server IP address into the search field.<\/li>\n
- WHM displays any matching accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This helps identify the domain associated with a particular IP.<\/p>\n
