How to Add a New Account in WHM<\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

WebHost Manager (WHM) is a server administrative interface created by cPanel. cPanel\/WHM is widely used among hosting providers and users who have their own servers for website hosting. This software makes it much easier to manage Linux distributed servers as they don\u2019t need to make all the server configuration via command-line.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this tutorial, we will learn how to add hosting account in WHM.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1 \u2014 Creating a new package<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you proceed with a new account creation you will need to create a new hosting package which could be assigned to new accounts. This is necessary because WHM doesn\u2019t allow creating new accounts without a package attached<\/span><\/p>\n

If you already have packages created, proceed to Step 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.Login to your WHM. By default, it can be accessed by filling in your server IP address with a port of 2086 or 2087 to the browser. It should look something like this: http:\/\/serverip:2086 or https:\/\/serverip:2087<\/span><\/p>\n

2.When you are logged in you should see a list of available tools with a search bar at the top left side of your screen. Fill the search box with term package and you should now see Add a Package option appear. Click Add a Package.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3.You will now see a page where you can set the limits, options of this particular hosting package. More information about each resource option can be found in cPanel Documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4.Once you have everything set as you want, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Add.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5.If the package was created successfully you should see a Success message at the bottom right corner of your screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can create as many packages as you wish with different resource options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2 \u2014 Creating a new account<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we have at least one package we can now create a new cPanel hosting account.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.Fill the search box with term create and you should now see Create a New Account option appear. Click Create a New Account.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2.In this page, you will need to fill in the main information of the hosting account you are about to create. This includes Domain, Username, Password, Email, Package, Theme,<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3.Fill in the necessary information and under Package section select the package that you would like to assign to this account.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4.If everything is filled in correctly, you should see green checkboxes next to required fields. If you see a red cross instead next to some field, please re-check if you filled in the information correctly. NOTE! These indications are only shown next to some of the fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look into Settings section. You can see two options there.<\/span><\/p>\n
