How to add Domain in WHM?

Steps to Add a Domain in WHM

1. Login to WHM
   Access WHM by navigating to https://your-server-ip:2087 and logging in with root or reseller credentials.
2. Navigate to “Create a New Account”
   • In the left-hand menu or the search bar, type: Create a New Account
   • Click on it.
3. Fill in Domain Information
   • Domain: Enter the domain name (e.g., example.com)
   • Username: It will auto-generate, or you can set one.
   • Password: Set a strong password.
   • Email: Provide a contact email address.
4. Package Selection
   • Choose an existing hosting package (predefined limits for disk space, bandwidth, etc.)
   • Or create a custom package if needed.
5. Settings
   • Choose the appropriate options for:
     • cPanel theme (usually paper_lantern or jupiter)
     • Locale (language)
6. DNS Settings
   • Usually leave as default unless you want to assign custom nameservers or adjust DNS zone settings.
7. Mail Routing Settings
   • Leave at “Automatically Detect”, unless you need a specific configuration.
8. Click “Create”

Once the account is created:

• WHM sets up the domain in Apache, DNS, FTP, etc.
• You can access cPanel for that domain from the WHM or directly using the domain:
  https://example.com/cpanel or https://your-server-ip:2083

📝 Notes:

• Make sure the domain’s DNS (nameservers) point to your WHM/cPanel server.
• If you’re adding an addon domain to an existing cPanel account instead, that’s done within cPanel, not WHM.
