Default Setting up domains in your WHM -

(1). Access your WHM via the IP address in your welcome email - http://IPADDRESS/whm

(2). You'll then need to first Create a Package, for your domain that you want to setup in your WHM.

(3). Now once you have created that Package, click on the "Create a New Account" -



(4). Then complete the following form, setting up the new domain. Live demo here.



Important notes -

- Make sure that there are NO spaces before or after your domain name.

- Never use hyphens in your username field. This will cause problems!

- Also always enter your domain name as yourdomain.com and NEVER like www.yourdomain.com or http://www.yourdomain.com

- Never tick the IP box or choose an IP from the IP drop down menu. If you need a dedicated IP for a domain.

- Choose the Cpanel Theme drop down menu.

- Make sure you fill out all the fields and don't leave a field as "unlimited".

- When you have all the fields completed, click the "Create" button and your new account will be created.

VERY IMPORTANT -

When you create domains in your WHM account, be sure to setup that domain with a STRONG password. NEVER and I repeat NEVER use the password that is the same as the username. HUGE mistake there that leaves the server vulnerable to spammer and the likes thereof. A password should be a minimum of 8 characters and contain a combination of lower and upper case letters, numbers and symbols. So a strong password looks something like this - Hk6G^tg*Fgf5 and not like this - mary


Here's a great Password generator - http://www.winguides.com/security/password.php

The following information will appear if all was done correctly -
