Updated: 11 October 2026 · Applies to: cPanel & WHM 138 (WHM, root access)
In WHM (on a reseller plan, VPS or dedicated server) you can create cPanel accounts for your websites or customers.
Before you start
Create a package with the limits you want (disk space, bandwidth, email accounts and so on) in Packages › Add a Package.
Create the account
- Log in to WHM.
- Open Account Functions › Create a New Account.
- Enter the Domain, a Username and a strong Password, and the customer's Email.
- Choose the Package.
- Click Create.
The customer logs in to cPanel at https://theirdomain.com:2083 once the domain points to the server, or at your server's hostname before that.
