  7. Under Account Functions, click on Create a New Account
  8. Enter the domain name (must be a valid registered domain and nameservers must point to our servers)
  9. Add username (the first 8-letters of the domain will appear automatically as new username)
  10. Generate a password (High password strength is recommended)
  11. Enter your client's email account

  13. Leave default values for all the other settings
  14. Click on create

    DONE!! Your domain should be accessible by typing its URL on the address bar of your browser.

Once an account is created you can login into cPanel for that particular account using http://IP Address:2082 (IP Address = Actual IP address of the server) or http://www.domainname.com:2082. cPanel is a user control panel where users can administer their account and hosted websites. Using cPanel clients can also add FTP, MySQL and e-mail accounts.
