You will need to create a package in your WHM before creating a new hosting account. A hosting package simplifies cPanel account management.
Create a Package
If you have a VPS (Managed), Quasi Dedicated, or Dedicated Server (Managed), it may already have at least one hosting package. You can also create a package:
- Go to WHM > Packages > Add a Package.
- Set appropriate quotas in the Resources (storage, bandwidth, addon domains, etc.) section.
- Click "Add".
- Done! The package is now created.
Note:
You may not select 'unlimited' for storage and bandwidth quota on Reseller Hosting.
Create a cPanel Account
- Go to WHM > Account Functions > Create a New Account.
- Type in your domain name in the Domain box (no www or http or spaces - just yourdomain.com).
- After typing in the domain name, hit TAB on your keyboard, and it will automatically create a username.
- Enter a password for the account.
- Choose a Package: Select a hosting package that you created earlier.
- Click "Create". A confirmation will appear presenting the newly created account details.
- Done!
Do not click or change anything if you are unsure what it does.
