Setting Up Domains

  • 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 -



    The following is a brief rundown of your new account -

    +===================================+
    | New Account Info |
    +===================================+
    | Domain: yourdomain.com
    | Ip: 66.246.11.34
    | HasCgi: y
    | UserName: yourdoma
    | PassWord: password-here
    | CpanelMod: cpanelxp_hg
    | HomeRoot: /home
    | Quota: 100 Meg
    | Data Transfer: 500Mb/mth
    +===================================+

    ## Your Control Panel -

    Access your Control Panel for yourdomain.com at
    http://66.246.11.34/cpanel with the above Username and Password. Usernames and Passwords *are* case sensitive.

    ## Email setup -

    Incoming Mail Server [POP3] - mail.yourdomain.com
    Outgoing Mail Server [SMTP] - mail.yourdomain.com

    Please note that certain aspects of setting up your email will be dependant upon your domain name being fully propagated over to our Name Servers. The process of propagation can take up to 3 days for your domain to be pointed to the servers.

    ## Upload your site details -

    Upload to the IP address of 66.246.11.34 using your above Username and Password to the public_html area. If you are using any FTP programs to upload your site, just make sure to upload to the IP address *only* and not with the http:// in front of the IP address. This applies to Dreamweaver too.

    If you are uploading using FrontPage, wait until your domain has propagated to the server and upload to yourdomain.com

    You can access your site while your domain name resolves over to our servers by accessing http://66.246.11.34/~yourdoma

    After your domain name has resolved [this can take up to 48hrs], your site will be accessible at http://www.yourdomain.com.

    IMPORTANT - The IP above of 66.246.11.34 is for reference ONLY. Your correct IP details are in your welcome email.
