In order for you to manage provisioning of cPanel accounts on your reseller server - and for clients to be able to order, pay for and have their accounts automatically provisioned you'll need to link WHMCS to your WHM hosting account.
You'll need details from your welcome email, including
your hosting server name
your hosting server IP address
your assigned, or custom nameserver names and IP addresses
Within WHMCS visit Setup >> Products/Services >> ServersYou'll need to enter the following details (everything else is optional) • Name - this can be anything you like, but we suggest naming to match the server name • Hostname - your WHM server name from your welcome email (how to find your home server name) • Primary & Secondary nameserver names & IP addresses - from your welcome email (What are Krystal's nameservers?) or your custom nameservers if you've configured them. • Type - select cPanel from the drop-down list • Username - your WHM username - from your welcome email • Password - your current WHM password - from your welcome email if you haven't changed it • Secure - must be ticked
Once you've entered all the details click the red Test Connection button. If all is well you'll see a green Successful! messageYou can now click Save Changes.
You'll be returned to the Servers page and see a successful message.
