Create an account in WebHost Manager

If you want to host a domain name's website on your server using cPanel®, you have to create an Account in WebHost Manager (WHM).

1. Log in to WebHost Manager using root for your username and your server's password at https://yourserverip:2087, where yourserverip is your server's IP address.
2. In the Home section, click Account Functions.
   
3. Click Create a New Account.
   
4. Complete the on-screen fields in the Domain Information section.
   

   Note: WHM automatically creates a Username for you based on the first eight characters of your domain name.

5. (Optional) Complete the other on-screen fields.
6. Click Create.

WHM displays a results page outlining your new Account. If there are no problems, you'll see Account Creation Complete at the bottom of the page.
