How do I create a hosting account?

Posted: March 26th, 2018

 

As a reseller, the first step in establishing your company's web presence is signing up to the services provided by a hosting company (hosting provider). After you subscribe to a hosting plan, a customer account in Plesk/WHM is created to enable you to log in to Plesk/WHM and use the hosting services and resources like mailboxes, disk space, and bandwidth.

 

To create a new hosting account

 

1) Log into your Plesk Control Panel/WHM

 

2) Click on Customers

 

 

3) Click Add a Customer. Type in the customer's contact information and create a Username and a Password. The customer will use the information to access their Hosting Account on Plesk. You can also leave some additional information about the customer in the Additional information field (this information will be visible to the customer), and also a comment in the Description field (this information will not be visible to the customer).

4) Input the Username and Password (this will be used to upload files to the server via FTP, etc)

 

5) Next, select a Service Plan with which the subscription should be associated.

Select add-on plans if you wish to add any.

 

6)  Input your client's Domain Name

 

7) Assign an IP Address to the account

 

 

You can either Leave the Proceed to customizing the subscription checkbox cleared or checked.

 

8) Click OK to save.
