The Service Status in WHM displays all services that are running on the server including memory usage, server load and hard drive space. Server Information, on the other hand, provides details on the software and hardware configurations you have.

In the video tutorial & demo, you will learn how to check both information and service status. Here are the steps:

1. Checking your server status and information in WHM.

2. Log in to WHM. Let’s take a look at the Server Status section of WHM and the two options; Server Information and Service Status. Click the Service Status link.

3. Here you will find a list of services running in your server, and their status whether the services are up or whether they’re failing.
From the green lights shown, we see that the services here are all up and running fine.
If the lights were red (failing) or yellow (about to fail), then more investigation would be needed to find out why and how to get the services back up and running.
One of the more important items in this list is the Server Load. It is a good indication of how hard the server is being run. If the load gets much above 1.00 (depending on your server configuration), it may be overloaded and should address this with your server administration.
At the bottom of the list of services, list your hard drive partitions and how much storage is being used by each. It is typically /home directory where all the hosting account files are located, so you should ensure there’s lots of space available here. In this configuration, we see there is a /backup partition setup on a separate hard drive (hdc), and it is currently 33% full. Click the Server Information link.

4. On the Server Information page, you can see the complete details of your server. In this case, the server has an Intel Pentium 4 -1.7 GHz processor and 256 kb cache. It also has 512 MB RAM memory.

5. It has 2 hard drives named hda and hdc. Hard drive hda is an 80GB drive and hdc (the second hard drive) is also an 80GB drive. You can see a breakdown of how the 512 MB of RAM memory is being used here. Finally, a detailed breakdown of the hard drive partitions is show here at the bottom of the page.

6. This is the end of the demo. If you ever have problems with the service you get from your server, you should return to the Server Status section to check things out.
