How to create a new account?

First of all, you need to login to your WHM (Web Host Manager) at http://www.yourdomain.com/whm/

1 To access the Account Functions Menu, click on Account Functions, on the main screen of your WebHost Manager interface.

2 Click on Create a New Account.

3 Enter the domain name and username of the account in the Domain and UserName fields. The UserName field will automatically populate with the first eight characters of the domain name, but you can change this to whatever you want.

4 Enter the password and disk space quota for the account in the Password and Quota fields.

5 Indicate whether this account is an IP address or not in the IP tick box. If ticked, all accounts created with this package cannot use a domain name.

6 Indicate whether CGI access, Shell access, and FrontPage Extensions are allowed in the CGI Access, Shell Access, and FrontPage Extensions tick boxes.

7 Enter the maximum number of items allowed in the Max FTP Accounts, Max Email Accounts, Max Email Lists, Max SQL Databases, Max Subdomains, Max Park Domains, and Max Addon Domains fields.
NOTE: Enter the word unlimited if you do not want to place a limit on any particular item.

8 Enter the maximum bandwidth in megabytes allowed by the account in the Bandwidth Limit field.

9 Click on the default cPanel theme for the account in the cpanel Theme field.

10 If this is an IP account, you can choose what available IP address is used from the IP Address drop-down list.

11 Click on the Create.


Please note: You need to create one package at least before creating a new account, otherwise account creation error will be displayed. Please check "How to create new package" if you don't know how to proceed.
