Setting up account with no domain...

[hyrum]

Can I set up an account with no domain, add files to it and assign it a domain name later? Will that screw anything up?

I don't think your can change the domain name effectaly later or the username.

You can without question sign up a account without the domain being active and just connect it to the account later.

Someone else here may know better.


I wonder though, if this is possible too..

You can change the domain easily, I have done it often with clients! Just remember to remove the DNS entrie for the old domain from your records!

Have you done this with a domain that has add-on's.

I currently have a domain woth 8 add-on's and need to change the primary domain.

I am afraid it will cause problems....

Any advice?

Although I could be wrong, I doubt WHM would support something that "extensive".

My suggestion would be to make the domain change via WHM for the primary domain and check the DNS and /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf to make sure it's all pointing to the correct/new primary domain.

Domain names can be changed in WHM, usernames shouldn't be changed yet as this function hasn't yet been perfected by cpanel.net and can mess things up. A short while ago I had to terminate and re-create an account because he changed his username in WHM. I have, however, changed domain names many times for accounts without experiencing any problems.

i once changed a username for a user, and then the user couldn't see MySQL databases in Cpanel. MySQL databas names weren't changed. Besides that, mail/ftp/subdomain are working fine.

but I still wouldn't recommend changing username.
