Creating a Domain Account using Web Host Manager

First step is to log into your WHM using the login details supplied in the Welcome to ZZ Hosting email.

Before being able to setup a domain account, you will need to create a package. A package is used to set the limits for the domains, eg bandwidth and disk space limits, number of email accounts and databases, etc. Once setup, a package can be assigned to multiple domains.

In WHM, click on the Add Packages button.

Next, enter in a name with which you can identify the package and set the resource allocations you wish to use with this package and then click on the Create button.

This has created a package. Now you will need to setup the domain account. Click on the "Create a New Account" option in the left frame menu.

Enter in the domain name and a username and password. This username and password is for accessing the domain's CPanel. For the "Package" option. Use the pulldown menu to select the package that you created earlier.

Finally click on the Create button near the top of the screen.

Once you have done this, a page saying "Account Creation Complete!!!" will come up.

You have now succesfully setup a new domain. You can access and administer this domain, ie. create email account, databases, etc, through CPanel at https://69.65.23.2:2083 using the username and password that was just created when setting up the domain.

The Fantastico Control Panel can be accessed here.

Please ensure that the domain nameservers are setup correctly to those listed in your Welcome to ZZ Hosting email. Once the nameservers have been updated through your domain registrar (this is whom the domain was registered through), it will take around 24-72 hours for all changes to be processed.
