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).
- 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.
- In the Home section, click Account Functions.
- Click Create a New Account.
- 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.
- (Optional) Complete the other on-screen fields.
- 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.
Next steps
