In this tutorial, we will explore the steps to terminate a cPanel account within WHM. It's crucial to understand that once the account termination process is initiated, it cannot be reversed. Account recovery is impossible unless a backup is available. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to create and download a backup before proceeding with the account termination. This guide is particularly beneficial for resellers and accounts utilizing VPS or dedicated servers.
