Alternatively, you could search for “Create a New Account” in the Find bar in the upper left hand corner of WHM.

A].select ““Create a New Account” you can see below screen on your computer

1.)First, WHM needs to know what the domain name will be for the primary website on this cPanel account

2.)WHM will use that domain to create a username for the cPanel account . This username is usually the first eight letters of the domain. Also, this username cannot be longer than eight letters.

3.)This cPanel account needs a password .

4.)It will also need this password retyped to make sure that you did not type it incorrectly when creating the password. If you like, you can use the built-in Password Generator to create a secure password.

5.)Finally, the cPanel account requires an e-mail address . WHM automatically sends important information about the account to this e-mail address as events warrant.

STEP 3:

After that click on “CREATE” Button.No need to change other data.

It will take some time for the server to create the account, so sit back for a bit as it configures everything. This should take no longer than a few minutes. When finished, WHM will tell you that it has been created successfully.

If WHM warns that the account has not been created, this usually happens because a setting was missed that needed to be set. It should be a simple matter to hit the back button and add that setting. If you are unable to create the account, and you believe that you have set everything properly, do not hesitate to contact Liquid Web Support .
