How to Access WHM<\/strong><\/p>\n

1<\/sup>To install cPanel & WHM on your server, run the following command:<\/p>\n

cd\u00a0\/home\u00a0&& curl -o latest -L https:\/\/securedownloads.cpanel.net\/latest\u00a0&& sh latest<\/p>\n

    \n

  2. Enter your WHM username in the\u00a0Username<\/em>\u00a0text box.<\/li>\n
  3. Enter your password in the\u00a0Password<\/em>\u00a0text box.<\/li>\n
  4. Click\u00a0Log in<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Setup Server Contact Email Address<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To set up the contact information for this server, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In the\u00a0Server Contact Email Address<\/em>\u00a0text box, enter the email address at which you wish to receive notifications about this server (for example,us**<\/span>@*****<\/span>le.com<\/span>).<\/li>\n
    2. If you wish to receive email news updates from cPanel, select the\u00a0Subscribe to the cPanel mailing list<\/em>\u00a0checkbox.<\/li>\n
    3. If you wish to receive notifications as text messages, enter your cell phone or pager email address in the\u00a0Server Contact SMS Address<\/em>\u00a0text box (for example,\u00a0us**<\/span>@**********<\/span>ny.com<\/span>\u00a0or\u00a080********<\/span>@******<\/span>er.com<\/span>).<\/li>\n
    4. If you wish to receive notifications\u00a0as AIM messages, select the\u00a0Server Contact AIM Name<\/em>\u00a0checkbox.<\/li>\n
    5. If you wish to receive notifications as ICQ messages, select the\u00a0Server Contact ICQ Number<\/em>\u00a0checkbox.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Set Hostname<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Enter your server’s\u00a0hostname\u00a0in the\u00a0This Server’s Hostname<\/em>\u00a0text box.<\/p>\n

      Remember: The\u00a0hostname\u00a0must\u00a0be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). FQDNs are domain names that specify an exact location, from the top level user domain to the\u00a0root\u00a0domain, when you read them from right to left. This\u00a0hostname\u00a0must\u00a0use the\u00a0subdomain.domain.extension\u00a0format. For example, for the\u00a0server\u00a0account on the domain\u00a0example.com, enter\u00a0server.example.com\u00a0as the\u00a0hostname.<\/p>\n

      Name server settings and assigning IP addresses<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Your server\u00a0must<\/strong>\u00a0have at least one IP address, which will function as the primary\u00a0IP address\u00a0of your server. If you do not have an\u00a0IP address, visitors cannot<\/strong>\u00a0access your server.<\/p>\n

      To add IP addresses, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. In the\u00a0IP Address(es) to Add<\/em>\u00a0text box, enter your server’s IP addresses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Note:<\/p>\n

        Use\u00a0CIDR\u00a0notation to add multiple IP addresses simultaneously. For more information, refer to the\u00a0Quick\u00a0CIDR\u00a0Reference Table<\/em>\u00a0to the right of the interface.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. In the\u00a0Subnet Mask<\/em>\u00a0text box, enter the appropriate subnet mask for your range of IP addresses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Note:<\/p>\n

          This value defaults to\u00a0255.255.255.0.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Check to ensure that the displayed\u00a0Network\/Ethernet Device<\/em>\u00a0is correct (for example,\u00a0eth0<\/em>).<\/li>\n
          2. Click\u00a0Add IP(s)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Set Nameservers<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Nameservers populate your server’s\u00a0DNS\u00a0information throughout the Internet to allow visitors to access websites on your server.<\/p>\n
