If you run a web agency or manage multiple clients, branding matters. Offering a custom-branded hosting experience boosts your agency’s professionalism — and with Sternhost’s cPanel, it's easier than ever to create a white-label experience your clients will love.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to apply custom logos, colors, and footers in cPanel, allowing you to present a seamless, professional hosting portal under your brand — not Sternhost’s.
What Is White‑Label cPanel?
White-labeling means removing third-party branding (like Sternhost's) and replacing it with your business’s branding. When you white-label cPanel:
- Your logo appears instead of cPanel's or Sternhost’s.
- You can change theme colors to match your brand.
- You can add a custom footer link (like back to your agency’s site).
Your clients log in and feel like they are interacting with your own hosting company.
✅ Perfect for agencies, resellers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs!
How to White‑Label Your cPanel on Sternhost
Follow these easy steps:
1. Log into Your WHM (Web Host Manager)
- Use your Sternhost WHM login.
- If you don’t have WHM access yet, check how to upgrade your hosting plan here (internal link).
2. Navigate to "Customization"
- In WHM, find cPanel > Customization.
- Here you’ll see four tabs: Branding, Customization, Public Contact, and Documentation Link.
3. Upload Your Logo and Favicon
- Under Branding, upload your company logo.
- Upload a favicon (small browser icon) too for full branding.
Tip: Use high-quality images (PNG preferred) for best results!
4. Set Your Brand Colors
- Customize the main theme color, sidebar color, and accent color.
- Match these to your business’s primary brand colors.
5. Add Custom Footer Links
- Under Public Contact, you can link to your support page, home page, or contact form.
- This ensures your clients know where to get help (from you — not Sternhost).
6. Save and Preview

- Once happy, Save Settings.
Done! Your clients now have a fully branded cPanel experience.
