Creating a cPanel Account in WHM Print

Creating a cPanel account in WHM sets up a separate hosting account for a domain. This is normally used by resellers, agencies or server administrators hosting multiple websites.

Before creating the account

• Confirm the domain name.
• Choose the correct hosting package.
• Decide the username.
• Set a strong password.
• Confirm contact email.
• Check DNS/nameserver plan.

Basic steps

1. Log in to WHM.
2. Open Create a New Account.
3. Enter the domain name.
4. Choose or create a package.
5. Set username and password.
6. Choose DNS settings.
7. Create the account.

Best practice

Use separate cPanel accounts for separate customers or unrelated websites. This improves isolation, security, backups and migration flexibility.
