How do I create a new control panel account?

** Before you can create a new account, you must create a package in your Reseller control panel.

Once you have created a package, you can then go to User Account >> "New Account" from the menu to create a new user account.

When you have located and clicked on "New Account," you will need to fill out several fields.

Domain Name
In this field, you must place the domain name which you are creating the user account for. If needed, you can create a user account for a sub domain. You must not include www. in front of the domain which you are creating the control panel account for.

Username
Enter the username when you wish to use for the account. Usernames are limited to 8 characters and may not be any longer than that. You may not use hyphens ( - ), special characters or spaces in the username. Also, you cannot use the username of root as it is already taken by the server.

Password
It is very important to use a unique, secure password when you create a control panel account. The password should never contain the control panel username in it. Never use your Reseller account password as the password for your customer's control panel (not even as a default or temporary solution); doing so is a security risk. It is recommended to use a password generation tool.

Email
The email address is used by the control panel user's account for automatic notification of issues with the account. If you want to receive these emails, simply enter your own email address instead of the account holder's email address. Note: WHM will automatically send an email to your primary domain's contact email address with the account information when any account is created. No notice will be sent to the account user.

Package
Packages are a preset list of limits and settings that can be applied to the accounts you create. Packages created using a reseller account will be automatically prefixed with your reseller username and an underscore ( _ ). This is to prevent package name collisions with other users' packages on a server.

Now click on the "Create" button to finish the account creation process.
