- How do I set up domains in my WHM ?
This is a
"walk through" of setting up new domains in your WebHost
Manager server management software.
(1). Access
your WHM via the IP address in your welcome email. After your
domain has propagated to the servers, you can
access your WHM via https://your-domain.com:2087/
(2).
Now click the link "Create a New Account" -

Then complete the form -

- Make sure that there are NO spaces before or after your
domain name.
- Also always enter your domain name as your-domain.com and
NEVER like http://www.your-domain.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, read this
first.
- Always choose the CPanel theme of - "cpanel_xp_hg" from
the Cpanel Theme drop down menu.
- Never choose a "package" from the drop down "Package"
list.
- 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 account will be
created.
The following information will appear
if all was done correctly -
