Lesson#1 – What is WHM and How to use it ?

HTML clipboard

WHM (Web Host Manager) is the place where you will be creating cpanel accounts for your customers. Cpanel is the place where your customers can manage various aspects of their websites.

In this article, we will tell you how to create a Cpanel account in WHM.

You can log into your WHM via http://www.yourdomain.com/whm (replace yourdomain.com with your exact domain name). The username/password is already sent to you in the welcome email.

Once logged in, the first thing you should do is create packages. On the left hand side look for “Packages”. You will see

Packages

Add a Package
Delete a Package
Edit a Package
Feature Manager

Don’t bother about [Feature Manger], simply click [Add a Package]

Most of the customers will want an UNLIMITED package, so simply put “unlimited” in all the fields over there. Let the package name be unlimited, let all fields under resources be unlimited. Don’t alter anything under settings. Simply click “Add”.

Congrats! you just created an UNLIMITED package.


Now, regarding how to create a CPANEL account.

Lets suppose that tomorrow you start advertising your Hosting Business Site and a customer “XYZ” pays you $5 month for the unlimited hosting account. After the customer pays you, simply send them below email


Hello and Welcome,

It’s great to see that you purchased the unlimited hosting account. We guarantee that you will like our service. Now, please provide us the domain name that you would like us to host for you. If you don’t have any domain, then simply purchase/register any desired domain name via http://www.underpriceddomain.com and let us know. We will then set up everything and we will inform you back within few hours.

Cordially yours



Suppose the customer gives you the domain name “EmailRampage.com”

Here is what you have to do to create his CPANEL account.

Log into your WHM,  click “Create a New Account” present under “Account Functions”.

Step 1 – Put the customer’s domain in “Domain:” Don’t type http://www.  Only type the domain name. say EmailRampage.com

Step 2 – Username: will get auto created, so don’t type anything there.

Step 3 – Type any password over there or simply use password generator.

Step 4 – Type the email address of the customer in the Email: field.

Step 5 – Choose the unlimited package from the drop down.

Step 6 – Ignore any other settings and simply click “CREATE”

The CPANEL account gets created. That’s all. Just 30 second work.


Now send the below email to your customer.


Dear customer,

Your CPANEL account is set up.

Cpanel – http://www.customerdomain.com/cpanel

username – “type the username here which was auto-created when you typed the domain”

password – “type the password you wrote”

FTP

server – ftp.customerdomain.com

username – “type the username here which was auto-created when you typed the domain”

password – “type the password you wrote”

Cordially yours

Your company website link

Your contact email


That’s it. This was how to create CPANEL accounts for customers. You can ignore everything else in WHM. If you are comfortable to do above, then that’s enough. You can manage and grow your business like wildfire.

    If you any questions please ask below..

  2. Frankly, I believe your service is excellant, a few set-up problems every-so-often, but that is not to be unexpected, the net result it gets resolved, and thats the main thing. I sincerely believe though, that you should address your “English” or Grammer in ALL your communication documents – it is very obvious it is lacking in a lot of areas – remedy this and your service would be 100%

    I have a Reseller account and I setup 53 of my domains so far, but I notice every time I log out the cPanel, it takes me to http://underpricedhost.com.

    How can I change the page a person is sent to when they log out of the cPanel?

    Thanks

    Hello:
    I just logged into the WHM area at:
    http://www.webhost4u.info/whm
    and reviewed the above lesson.
    Nothing seems to conform in the management area with what is
    written in the lesson above. Please see my notes.

    1) Once logged in the first thing you should do is create packages. On the left hand side look for “Packages”.
    Comment: There is no menu selection for “Packages”

    2) Here is what you have to do to create his CPANEL account.
    Log into your WHM, click “Create a New Account” present under “Account
    Functions”.
    Comment: There is no “Create a New Account” selection under the
    “Account Functions”. menu.

    Please inform me how I am meant to set up new hosting accounts with the WHM area
    not offering these functions.

    Thank you for your help.

    Do you have a Facebook fan page for your site?

  20. Hello! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new apple iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all your posts! Keep up the outstanding work!

  21. I absolutely love the theme on this blog. Would you tell me where to get it? Thanks a lot!

  22. Good post. I study something more difficult on totally different blogs everyday. It would always be stimulating to learn content material from other writers and observe slightly something from their store. I want to make use of some with the content material on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I provide you with a hyperlink in your net blog. Thanks for sharing.Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for first-time blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
