High quality, yet affordable cPanel Linux hosting!

WHM Create a New Account Interface

The Create a New Account interface in your WHM control panel lets you create new cPanel accounts.

Please note that you need to have at least one hosting package configured through the "Add a Package" feature of WHM before creating new cPanel accounts.


Accessing the Create a New Account interface

Login to your WHM control panel using your web browser. Go to 'http://www.yourdomain.com/whm/' (without the quotation marks). So if your domain name is 'example.com' you should go to 'http://www.example.com/whm/' to login to your control panel. The Create a New Account interface is in the "Account Functions" tab, simply click on the name to enter.
