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

                      \n
                    • Make sure the domain\u2019s DNS (nameservers) point to your WHM\/cPanel server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • If you\u2019re adding an addon domain<\/strong> to an existing cPanel account instead, that\u2019s done within cPanel<\/strong>, not WHM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
