Setting up new server question

[Jagslu]

Hi all,

I'm new to WHM and Cpanel and have just restored my dedicated server to use Cpanel and CentOS7, so please forgive my ignorance.

My question is this:

I do not what to use WHM to setup reseller accounts. I just need the server for hosting my 2 domains. How do I setup WHM if I'm not reselling?

Do I need to setup one reseller account so I'm effectively selling to myself or can I just use WHM as is for my own account?

Thanks in advance

I am using a dedicated server with centos 7 installed and cpanel standard license version 76.0.18

If you dont want to offer reseller hosting then just do not set up any reseller account. Just configure your packages and start selling the hosting service. So in short , you can directly use WHM to start selling.

Hello,

Setting up a reseller account is not required. You can access Web Host Manager as "root" and begin creating accounts under the root user.

Thanks!

Is it possible to create a "webmaster" account that has access to WHM but has limited privileges.

Hello @Jagslu,

Yes, you could create a cPanel account and then make that account a reseller with limited privileges. See the documents below for information about how that works:

Reseller Center - Version 78 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.
