# AnHonestHost Knowledge Base > Customer documentation for WHP (AnHonestHost's containerized Web Hosting Platform), plus cPanel hosting, domains, email, and remote support. WHP is AnHonestHost's containerized hosting platform, and most of this knowledge base documents it: getting started, how-to guides, the Site Builder, local development with the same container images used in production, reference material, and optional add-ons. Separate sections cover legacy cPanel hosting, domain management, email setup, and remote support. Pages in the WHP Admin section document server-wide super-admin controls, which most customers won't have access to. ## WHP — Getting started - [Welcome to WHP](https://kb.anhonesthost.com/whp/getting-started/welcome/): Quick orientation for new customers — what WHP is and where to start. - [What is containerized hosting?](https://kb.anhonesthost.com/whp/getting-started/what-is-containerized-hosting/): Plain-language explainer of containerized hosting and how it compares to shared hosting and a VPS. ## WHP — How-to guides - [Add a domain](https://kb.anhonesthost.com/whp/how-to/add-a-domain/): Point a domain at your WHP hosting — whether you registered it with us or elsewhere. - [Manage DNS records](https://kb.anhonesthost.com/whp/how-to/manage-dns-records/): View, add, edit, and delete DNS records for your domains using the Domains & DNS records editor in WHP. - [Create a site](https://kb.anhonesthost.com/whp/how-to/create-a-site/): Spin up a containerized site on a domain you've added to WHP. - [Create an email account](https://kb.anhonesthost.com/whp/how-to/create-an-email-account/): Add a mailbox on one of your domains and connect your email client. - [Backups](https://kb.anhonesthost.com/whp/how-to/backups/): Run on-demand and scheduled backups of your sites and databases, and confirm they're succeeding. - [Switching your site's backend](https://kb.anhonesthost.com/whp/how-to/switching-site-backend/): Change the web engine (container type) running a site — standard PHP/FPM or the premium LiteSpeed/OpenLiteSpeed tier. - [Clear your site's cache](https://kb.anhonesthost.com/whp/how-to/clear-your-cache/): Seeing an old version of a page after making a change?
