Creating client accounts (reseller)

What this solves

You want to create a new hosting account for one of your clients from your reseller WHM.

Step 1: Create account

WHM → Create a New Account. Enter domain, username, password, and contact email. Select the package (limits). Choose the package and click Create.

Step 2: Send details to client

Send the client their cPanel URL, username, and password securely. They can change the password after first login.

Step 3: Optional

Set up nameservers if the client will use your nameservers. Install WordPress or other apps via the client’s cPanel or your own process.

Note: Domain must resolve to your server if you’re using the domain during account creation; or create the account with a placeholder and add the domain later.

When to contact support

If you hit account limits or get an error during creation, open a ticket.
