How to create a new cPanel account in WHM

Each of your hosting clients gets their own cPanel account. You create them in WHM in a couple of minutes.

Create the account

  1. Log in to WHM and search for Create a New Account.
  2. Enter the client's domain, a username and a strong password, and their email.
  3. Choose the package that sets their resource limits (see our guide on creating packages).
  4. Click Create.

After creating

WHM shows the new account's details and nameservers. Send your client their cPanel login, or set up automatic welcome emails. They can now manage their own site, email and databases.
