Setting up a Domain Using cPanel's WebHost Manager

To set up a domain in cPanel's WebHost Manager, you must create an account. When you create an account in WebHost Manager, it automatically creates hosting and a zone file for a particular domain.

Before you create an account, make sure that you complete the initial WebHost Manager setup process outlined in Setting Up WebHost Manager for the First Time.

To Create an Account in WebHost Manager

1. Log in to WebHost Manager using root for your user name and the password you created when you set up your dedicated server.
2. From the Main section on the right, select Account Functions.
3. Click Create a New Account.
4. To create a new account, enter your Domain name, UserName, Password and Contact Email. WebHost Manager automatically creates a user name based on the first 8 letters of your domain name.
