Creating an account
After you have created a package in WebHost Manager, you can create an account. A new account includes:
cPanel.
Web site functionality (with files hosted in the public_html directory).
FTP account.
SSH access (if it is enabled in the package).
To create an account in WHM, follow these steps:
- In the search box at the upper left of the WHM screen, start typing Account, and then click Create a New Account when it becomes visible.
- Under Domain Information, type the domain name in the Domain text box. For example, type example.com.
WebHost Manager fills in the Username text box automatically based on the domain name you provide. - In the Password text box, type a password for the new account, and then confirm the password in the Re-type Password text box.
- In the Email text box, type the account owner's e-mail address. This e-mail address receives automatic cPanel notifications regarding the account, such as password reset information.
- Under Package, in the Choose a Package list box, select a package to use, or select the Select Options Manually check box.
- Under Settings, select the cPanel theme and locale.
- Under DNS Settings, we recommend that you leave the DKIM and SPF options checked. You should leave the nameserver option unchecked, unless you are sure that you want the domain to use the registrar's nameservers.
- Click Create. When account creation is complete, WebHost Manager displays account configuration information.
Modifying an account
To modify an existing account in WebHost Manager, follow these steps:

- Make the changes to the account, and then click Save.
- If the account has a package assigned, WHM will display a Package Conflict Resolution dialog box. Select the appropriate option, and then click Proceed.
Deleting (terminating) an account
To delete an existing account in WebHost Manager, follow these steps:

- When the account is visible, click Remove to the right of the account you want to terminate.
- Click Yes, remove this account to confirm the termination.
