How
to Create an Account in your WHM Reseller Account?
Before you can create an account with your reseller plan you
must first tell the software about the limits you are going to
give the account. You define the amount of disk space, the amount
of emails, the amount of bandwidth a site can have by defining/creating
a package which holds all this information. So before you can
create a domain/account you must first define a package.
You do that by the following:
1. Log into your reseller control panel
2. One the left side look for "Packages"
3. Click on "Add Packages"
4. Enter in the following information:
a. the name of the package
b. the amount of disk space the package can use (labeled "Quota")
5. Now fill in the following boxes with the amount you want
this package to have: ftp accounts, email accounts, email lists,
maximum amount of databases, etc. Put in the maximum number a
site can have or you can leave it as unlimited or 0.
6. If you want a site to have CGI capability
make sure the box next to "CGI access" is checked.
7. If you want a site to be able to use Frontpage
Extenstions (Microsoft's Frontpage) make sure the box next
to "Frontpage
Extenstions" is checked. You can always add this later if
needed.
8. Now next to the box marked "Bandwidth Limit" put
in the amount of bandwidth (in MB) this domain/account can use
per month.
9. You can now select a default cPanel theme in the next drop
down box or leave it as default.
10. You can now use a "Feature list" if
you have defined one. (NOTE: if you don't know what this is
you can just leave
it as default).
11. Now press the "Create" button and
your package will be created.
Now to create the actual domain account on the server:
1. If you are not logged into your reseller control panel do
so.
2. Look for "Account Functions" on
the left side of the screen.
3. Click on "Create an Account".
4. Enter in the domain name of the account without
the http://www. Just enter, for example, mydomain.com or e3servers.com
or microsoft.com,
etc. Enter this in the first box next to "Domain".
5. Now click on the box next to "Username".
The control panel will now generate a login name for this account.
You can
use this auto-generated name or create your own. If you create
your own it cannot be the same as one already used (it will tell
you if it already used when you go to create the account) or
it cannot be longer than 8 characters.
6. Now enter in a password for this account in
the box next to "Password".
7. If you have purchased a static IP from Sales
and this site is going to be using a static IP select the IP
from the drop
down box. If you don't want this site to use a static IP (or
if you haven't purchased one) just leave the box as "--Auto
Assign--".
8. Now, in the last box marked "Package" select
the package you just created.
9. Press "Create".
You have just created an account. Now the next
time you want to create an account YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CREATE
A PACKAGE AGAIN.
Once you have created a package you can go straight to the "Create
and Account" function and just fill in that information.
Your package will be saved until you delete it.
This is the beauty of packages: you can create as many packages
as you want all with different information. And when you want
to create an account with a certain amount of limits you merely
select the package you want from the drop list. You can edit,
delete and upgrade and downgrade accounts by using these packages.
