Running your business over a dedicated server means you can serve more people online. Just like the domain name is your online business address, your server acts as your business location. So if you want a good location for your business then go for a good hosting option and it is only a dedicated server.
Running an online business involves less money compared to selling anything in the same old way. You don’t have to invest money in purchasing business premises or worry about the business location. During the old days, planning where to locate a business and selecting its premises was very important. The location used to play a big role in attracting and retaining customers. Now in the online business, these two things got replaced with domain names and servers.
If your server is big, your business website can handle huge amounts of traffic (customers) and if it is small then it would be like a small counter crowded with so many customers, where the owner can never think of serving more people or earning more money.
Running your website over a dedicated server plan simply means you can serve more people. Thus, your business will also grow more.
While using more than one dedicated server, a DNS cluster allows you to add more servers via WHM so that your group of name servers can share records.
This enables you to physically separate the nameservers that handle the DNS requests from your cPanel and WHM dedicated servers. So that whenever a DNS change occurs on one of your main servers, it gets replicated immediately to all the other servers added in your DNS cluster.
To add the new server to the DNS cluster, simply login to your account and visit your server’s home to implement these changes:
Visit WHM’s DNS Cluster interface via WHM -> Home -> Clusters -> DNS Cluster
Click to Enable DNS Clustering
Click the Change button
Click Return to Cluster Status
Select the server to add to the DNS cluster
Add a new server to the cluster menu
Click Configure
In the Remote cPanel & WHM DNS host text box of the cPanel DNS Remote Configuration interface
Enter the hostname or IP address of the nameserver to add to the cluster
Enter the WHM username for the nameserver
Enter the nameserver’s API token hash or remote access key in the Remote server access hash text box
To automatically configure the DNS cluster on the remote server – Select Setup Reverse Trust Relationship
To synchronize the new server with other nameservers simply select Synchronize Zones Immediately option
To specify the server’s DNS role, select a setting from the DNS Role menu
Click the Submit button
For deleting a server from DNS cluster:
Visit to the DNS Cluster interface via WHM -> Home -> Clusters -> DNS Cluster
In the Modify Cluster Status text box, select Disable DNS Clustering
Click Change, then Click Return to Cluster Status
Log in to the servers that remain in the cluster
Navigate to the DNS Cluster interface via WHM -> Home -> Clusters -> DNS Cluster
Locate the server that you wish to delete
Click the x icon under the Actions heading
To make changes in your server in DNS cluster:
Locate the server that you wish to edit
For DNS changes – In the DNS Role menu, select a new role for the server
Click the save icon to save your changes
Next, to edit a server’s configuration settings
Click the edit icon under the Actions heading
The cPanel DNS Remote Configuration interface will appear
Both types of email accounts can be accessed from your iPhone and iPad touch devices, you can use them just like other email services. The difference is they use your own domain name and all data remains secret and secure on your own server or the webspace you are subscribed to.
Additionally, they offer you more SMTP relays so that you can send more emails without getting banned. These relays can also be subscribed whenever you need more than the number provided to you by default.
To add email on your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Accounts & Passwords and tap Add Account
If you’re using iOS 10.3.3 or earlier, go to Settings > Mail > Accounts and tap Add Account
Tap Other to add your account manually
Enter your name, email address, password, and a description of your account
Tap Next and then it will try to find your email settings automatically
If Mail finds your email settings, tap Done
Your account setup is complete now
In case if it fails to find your email settings, then enter those settings manually, follow these steps:
Tap Next, given on the same screen
Choose IMAP or POP for your new account.
Enter the information for the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server.
Tap Save to finish
Remember –
In step number two, if you aren’t sure whether your account is IMAP or POP then you can easily find that.
If you are a cPanel user, simply use these settings:
Use hostname as imap.secureserver.net for the incoming mail server
Use hostname as smtpout.secureserver.net for the outgoing mail server
Finally, Tap Next. Your app will discover your email account.
The most important settings to configure any email on any device is the username, password, incoming server, outgoing server, account type i.e. IMAP or POP, the incoming port number, and the outgoing port number.
Many devices automatically fetch your account settings by using just your email address and password. In case if that doesn’t work for your device then by knowing the above-mentioned details you can easily set up your email account on any computer or mobile device.
Using domain redirects you can redirect an entire domain or selective links to a new domain or links to individual pages. While configuring a domain redirect on cPanel, you will notice that there are two types of redirect options; temporary redirect, and permanent redirects.
A 301 redirect i.e. permanent redirect means that you are directing the page permanently. It prompts the search engines and HTTP clients to update their caches to the new link. It simply indicates that the page has been moved to a new address permanently. This is useful when you move your website to a new domain.
A 302 redirect i.e. temporary redirect means Found, but it is mainly used to tell the search engines and HTTP clients that the page is temporarily redirected and will soon be available to the old address, so there is no need for them to update their caches, etc. This is useful while you are developing your website or working on a page.
To configure a redirect, simply log in to your SANGKRIT.net account and follow these steps:
Open the products page
Select your hosting or server
Open your cPanel hosting account or select a cPanel of your server
Scroll down to the Domains section and click the Redirects option
Select Permanent (301) or Temporary (302) from the first dropdown
Choose the domain you want to redirect
In case you are redirecting a page, simply paste the URL of the page
Add the new destination domain or URL including https:// or http:// protocol
Click the Add button
You will also notice that there is a wild card redirect option present as a checkbox. Ticking this option will redirect all of a site’s pages to the same URL you have entered.
On your WHM home page i.e. the main page of your server
Navigate to Add a New IP Address under IP Functions of the side menu
Enter the new IP address and a subnet mask
Click Submit to finish
Remember:
In step number five, if you don’t know which subnet mask is to be entered, just contact the online support team
In step number six, in case you make a mistake, you can delete the new address in the Show or Delete Current IP Addresses option
As you click the Submit button, the new IP address gets added. Now you can associate it with your cPanel hosting or other domain accounts on your server.
To change an existing site’s IP address to the new one you will need to follow these steps:
Open the List Accounts page from the Account Information menu
Select the domain account you want to change
Click the “+” next to the domain name
Click the Change IP Address button
Select the IP you just added
That’s it. Once you have changed your website’s IP, the site will not be available to the old IP address, and it should also appear offline to the new IP address for sometime.
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is one secure file protocol used to manage, and transfer files over an encrypted transport connection. In comparison to the traditional FTP protocol, it offers all the functionality in a more secure and easier to configure way.
The lesson guides you on how to connect your cPanel account via SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol or Secure File Transfer Protocol).
SFTP clients generally require the following information to make a connection to the server. Open your SFTP client and configure it with the following information:
Hostname — Your server’s hostname (for example, hostname.yourdomain.com)
SSH port number — The port number on which sshd listens (for instance, 22)
Security — Whether the client combines FTP and SFTP functionality
Username — The SSH username that the client uses to connect to the server
Password — The SSH user’s password
Private Key — The SSH user’s private key
Lets Make This Easier For You,
In step number six, this is the absolute path to a private key on your local machine (for instance, c:\data\id_dsa)
In step number four, the username can be a valid cPanel account username or the root user
Remember, you cannot use your FTP account to connect via SFTP
SFTP is not just FTP over SSH. Instead, it is an entirely separate protocol
cPanel users can generate and download a private key via cPanel’s SSH Access interface via cPanel -> Home -> Security -> SSH Access
The root users can generate and download a private key via WHM’s Manage root’s SSH Keys interface on a dedicated server or VPS via WHM -> Home -> Security Center -> Manage root’s, SSH Keys
Sometimes, you may see a warning that the host of the server is unknown. To cut back on such situations in the future, accept the key and store it on your local machine.
All files have some preset permission that directs the cPanel system on handling different access requests. For instance: The file permission tells the cPanel what files are only readable, or editable, or hidden on your server.
You can change file permissions by performing a few steps. Simply log in to your SANGKRIT.net account and follow these steps:
Open the products page
Select your hosting or server
Open your cPanel account
Scroll down and open the FILE MANAGER
Click Settings to open the Preferences box
Click Permissions on the top toolbar
Now simply use the checkboxes or given text boxes to update the permissions. The setting defaults to 0644
When you are done, click Change Permissions
Your changes will be saved by the system
Note: You can visually change the file permission by using the tick box. In case, if you are using number code to change file permissions then you should know that:
Zero is no permission
Read permission is r or 4
Write permission is w or 2
Execute permission is x or 1
Where,
Read allows users to view and read the file
Write allows users to edit and update the file
Execute allows users to run the file as a program
But the permissions have a different meaning on folders:
Read enables users to list and view the files in the directory
Write enables users to create, rename, and delete files in the directory
Execute enables users to access the files and folders within the directory
Next to each file permission, there are tick boxes for user groups. It allows you to set what permissions on a file are applied to what group of users. There are three groups given as checkboxes:
User means permissions are applied to the owner of the file
Group means permissions are applied to other users on the group to which the file belongs to
World means the permissions are applied for everyone, this also includes users who are not in the group to which the file belongs to
The cPanel File Manager allows you to visually copy, create or move files and folders in a few easy steps. Simply log in to your SANGKRIT.net account and follow the steps:
Creating New Files & Folders:
Click + File or + Folder icon given in the toolbar
Enter the name of the new file or folder you are creating
Enter the location where you want your new folder or file to be created
Click Create New File or Create New Folder button
TIP: In step number two, you may also rename any folder or file. Simply click the name, enter the new name. Then, press the Return key and your changes will be saved.
Copying Files & Folders:
CTRL + Click to select the files you want to copy
Click the Copy icon given in the top toolbar of your cPanel
Enter the file path where you want to copy the file
Click the Copy Files button
REMEMBER: You cannot create a copy within the same folder.
TIP: In step number two, alternatively you may right-click and select the copy option from the menu.
Moving Files & Folders:
CTRL + Click to select the file or files that you want to move
Click the Move icon given in the top toolbar of your cPanel
Enter the file path where you want to move the file
Click the Move Files button
TIP: Alternatively, you may also move files by dragging a file to a new destination folder.
PHP allows you to control different aspects of your websites by using directives in php.ini files. These files contain the default configuration for the operation of PHP applications.
By using PHP directives you can control different variables such as upload size, file timeout, and resource limit, etc of websites running on your hosting, VPS, or dedicated server.
To add or edit a PHP directive – Log in to your SANGKRIT.net account and follow these steps:
Open cPanel of your server or hosting option
Navigate to the File Manager interface via cPanel -> Home -> Files -> File Manager
Make sure that hidden files are visible to you or you can enable them via Settings, by ticking the Show hidden files checkbox option
Navigate to the target directory.
Create a new file – click New File / + File button
Enter .user.ini filename
Click Create New File button
Select the new file from the list of files and click Edit
Now enter the PHP directives you wish to adjust for the present directory
Click the Save button
INI files can be configured on per-directory basis and are processed only by the CGI/FASTCGI SAPI. This functionality obsoletes the PECL htscanner extension. If you are running PHP as an Apache module then the .htaccess file will do your thing.
In addition to the main INI file, PHP scans each directory for its INI file. In a case where the PHP file has been kept outside the document root, only its directory is scanned.
The free virus scanner provided on every cPanel hosting, VPS, and the Dedicated Server allows you to scan your account for possible security threats.
To use it, simply login to your SANGKRIT.net account and perform the steps given below:
Select a service to scan:
Scan Mail — To scan all of your account’s mail folders
Scan Entire Home Directory — To scan your account’s home directory
Scan Public FTP Space — To scan all of the publicly accessible folders via FTP services
Scan Public Web Space — To scan all of the publicly accessible folders via the web
After selecting a service, click the Scan Now button
Here, the scanning process starts and displays you a new interface with the following information:
File — Displays the number of files that the system has scanned as well as the total number of files to be scanned
Data — Displays the amount of data the system has scanned as well as the total amount of data to be scanned
Scanner Progress — Displays the progress of the scan
Infected Files — Displays malicious stuff the scanner has detected
The server may take several minutes to complete the scan. If the scanner identifies a threat, it will prompt you to perform an action. Once the scan is complete, you will be returned to your main Virus Scanner interface.
Although, you can directly mask an IP address to different records of your domain name to make it functional. But doing nameserver setup lets you enlist all domain records in your nameservers to use them on your domain (website & email, etc).
Click Launch (Next to the account, you want to use)
Click Manage Server (WHM)
Click Proceed
Once, your are logged in to your server, follow these steps:
Navigate to WHM’s Nameserver Selection interface via WHM -> Home -> Service Configuration -> Nameserver Selection
Select the desired nameserver software
Click Save
To configure your default nameservers:
Navigate to WHM’s Basic WebHost Manager Setup interface via WHM -> Home -> Server Configuration -> Basic WebHost Manager Setup
Enter the desired nameserver names in the text boxes
Click Save
Remember, the name must prefix, a dot (.), and your domain. For instance: ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com.
Next, you will need to add the IP address to your nameservers:
Navigate to WHM’s Add a New IP Address interface via WHM -> Home -> IP Functions -> Add a New IP Address
Here you may either enter the main IP address or the IP address range (if you have) in the New IP or IP range to add text box
Enter the subnet mask in the Select a subnet mask for the IP or IPs above to use text box
Enter any IP addresses that you wish to exclude in the IPs and IP ranges to exclude from the range of new IPs text box
Click Submit
Creating A or AAAA entries on your nameservers:
Access WHM’s Basic WebHost Manager Setup interface via WHM -> Home -> Server Configuration -> Basic WebHost Manager Setup
In the Nameservers text box, click Configure Address Records
Update the IP addresses in the appropriate text boxes
Click Configure Address Records
Click Close
Repeat same steps for each of your nameserver.
For creating entries of your hostname:
Again, move to WHM’s Add an A Entry for Your Hostname interface via WHM -> Home -> DNS Functions -> Add an A Entry for Your Hostname
Enter your server’s IP address in the text box
Click Add Entry
Next, you will need to register the same nameservers on your SANGKRIT.net account from your domain management section. You will need to change the nameservers of your domain to use these new domain nameservers.
Simply login to your SANGKRIT.net account and follow these steps:
Vist your products page, in the Domains heading, click Manage
Locate the domain for which you wish to set up your nameservers
Click the settings icon and select Manage DNS.
Click the Settings tab and click Manage under the Host Names setting
Click Add Hostname and enter the primary nameserver’s name (for example, ns1)
Enter the primary nameserver’s IP address in the IP Address text box and click Add.
Now, repeat the same steps for your secondary nameserver, this time use another nameserver such as ns2
Click Save. Then, click Edit Nameservers and select Custom option
Enter the full names of your two nameservers. (For instance: ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com)
Click OK and then Save your changes
That’s it. The DNS propagation takes some time to spread the domain’s new DNS records across the internet. So, allow it twenty-four hours and your settings will start to work.
You can reset the version of PHP on your dedicated server and its cPanel sites. Sometimes one version of PHP works for some sites while it doesn’t work for others.
For example: While running WordPress, the recommended PHP version is at least PHP 7 or higher. However, it also runs on some lower versions.
The lesson will guide you how you can update PHP version both server wide and on per domain basis.
Click Launch (Next to the account, you want to use)
Click Manage Server (WHM)
Click Proceed
On your WHM admin page:
Search PHP on left side search box
Click MultiPHP Manager
You will see a list of domains
You can set PHP version per Domain
Select the domains that you wish to change
Apply a PHP version from the list given there
The page also enables you to set a system default PHP version.
Any domain that is set to the inherit value indicates that it does not have its own PHP version explicitly set.
Newer versions of PHP are released with a lot of new improvements. As it progresses, every update is made to make it more secure, less resource hungry, and overall faster than before.

A cPanel provides you an easy interface to manage your domains and websites. The cPanel you get at SANGKRIT.net gives you access to more than a hundred free applications for making many types of websites in few clicks.
Dedicated Server owners can create multiple cPanels associated with different domains. Every cPanel will work like a new hosting account where more domains can be hosted by you.
Click Account Functions or use the search box to find it
Click Create a New Account
Fill up the mandatory fields and click Create
Now the Web Host Manager will display you a results page outlining your new Account. Next, you will see Account Creation Complete!!! at the bottom of the screen.
That’s it, following these steps you can create more cPanel accounts.
The accounts you create can be accessed from the Servers tab on your SANGKRIT.net products page. Go back to step no. 1, and you will see all your cPanel accounts are listed there.
After you have subscribed to a dedicated server, the first thing you need to do is set it up for your main domain. Then you can add multiple domains to your server or enable other cPanel hosting accounts on your server to add domains.
For Hosting Multiple Domains From Server’s Admin Panel
This option lets you create different cPanel accounts for each of your domain names.
While creating any new cPanel account you can allow it to host multiple domains or simply keep it limited to only one domain. You can do this at your discretion by following these steps:
Use the left side search box to find the List Accounts page
Click List Accounts
Click Create a New Account button
It will present you with a form where you can type in your domain name and select options for the new cPanel account you are creating.
Finally, click the ‘Create’ button.
Follow the same steps for creating separate accounts for your domains.
For Hosting Multiple Domains On A cPanelAccount
You can allow any cPanel account on your dedicated server to host multiple domains. This thing is done while creating new cPanel accounts (as we have done above) or you can edit any old account.
To edit any old cPanel account simply visit the ‘List Accounts’ page (as shown in step no. 6 above).
Next to the cPanel account, which you want to use, click Launch
Next, on cPanel home page:
Scroll down to the Domains section
Click ‘Addon Domains‘
Type in the domain name
Click the ‘Add Domain‘ button
Each domain added by you will have its own directory where you can upload your website or install WordPress. The web directory of your domains can be accessed from your cPanel’s home page -> File Manager option, present in the Files section.
The manual transfer requires you to download files as well as the database and then upload it to your new server. But there is another method on dedicated servers that allows you to copy your account directly from your previous cPanel host.
What You Will Need?
To start you will need your server address (IP or FQDN) which you can either find yourself or get from your service provider. Second, you are going to need the username and password of your cPanel account.
Click Launch (Next to the account, you want to use)
Click Manage Server (WHM) (visible next to cPanel Site)
Click Proceed
On your WHM panel use the left side navigation search box to find the page of ‘Copy an Account From Another Server With an Account Password’. On this page, you will see fields for the Server to copy from, username and password.
On the ‘Server to Copy’ field enter the IP address of your remote server. Next fill in the username and password then press the ‘Copy Account’ button.
In case if you have an additional IP address assigned on your server. You can also select the ‘Give new account an IP address’ option to get the available IP address automatically assigned to your new account.
How It Works?
The server will try to connect to the remote cPanel server and copy the specified account.
It is going to check the remote server every minute till the backup is completed. So at the time the copy process goes do not close your web-browser tab.
How Much Time It Takes?
The time it takes depends on the size of your account on the remote server and once the account is successfully copied you will see the account restored message.
How To See Your Newly Transferred & Restored Account?
Once you see the account restored message at the bottom of the page. Use the top-left search box to type ‘list’, then click on the ‘List Accounts’ option. You should now see the copied account on your server.
How To Make It Work?
Once you have made sure that your old account has been copied to your new server at SANGKRIT.net. You will need to update your domain’s name servers to make your domain point to this new location.
How To Get Helped?
In case you need any kind of assistance in transferring your website, simply contact the support of SANGKRIT.net via Support Page or Helpline numbers.
SANGKRIT.net is the one-stop solution for all your web and app requirements. Securing your website with SSL and Malware Scanner is one thing but keeping a regular backup of your website is far more important as that keeps your and your customer’s data safe especially when hackers try to pry their way in.
The website backup service at SANGKRIT.net automatically backups your complete website and offers a one-click restore. Thus, it makes you ready for anything that comes your way.
You are in all control of when your daily backups happen. You simply need to subscribe to it, set it up by following on-screen instructions, and then just continue to focus on building your business. Site monitoring, malware scanning, and backups all go on in the background.
Apart from this, you can also download backup copies to your local device for emergency access and migration. In case, if you make any changes or updates to your website, you can run an on-demand backup or simply wait for the automatic backup to happen.
The new Managed SSL Service at SANGKRIT.net saves you from the technical steps of installing and implementing HTTPS over your domains.
The installation is automatic and the software itself ensures that your website stays safe and secure on the internet.
It has been programmed to save the user from the manual configuration and common errors of SSL such as:
SSL not found error
Mixed-content error
HTTPS redirect failure error
SSL certificate mismatch error
How Managed SSL Works?
Authentication is the keystone of SSL protection. After you subscribe to a Managed SSL, the system itself validates your domain and issues an SSL certificate to ensure your website only takes a secure connection.
After the system configures the SSL certificate on your domain and verifies that everything is correct, you receive an email saying that your website is now successfully running over a secure HTTPS connection.
The system offers you Domain Validation (DV) SSL certificates via Managed SSL Service. You can purchase a certificate for a single site or a multiple-domains certificate i.e. SAN SSL that secures one primary plus four additional domains i.e. a total of five domains.
Once SSL is installed on your dedicated server (as explained here) for the domain name you have selected, you will need to redirect all non-secure http links to secure https connection.
For any website to work over SSL, there are some modifications you will need to make to your .htaccess file, and then it will redirect your visitors to the HTTPS version of your website.
Login to your SANGKRIT.net account and follow the given steps:
Go to your SANGKRIT.net product page.
Underthe Server, click Manage for cPanel
In the Account Dashboard, click File Manager.
In the cPanel File Manager, click Settings.
Make sure that Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) is checked, and click Save.
Click on public_html, and open your .htaccess if you already have one. If not, click File+, name the file .htaccess and click Create New File.
Select the .htaccess file, and click Edit.
If you just created your .htaccess file, use this code: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?coolexample\.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.coolexample.com/$1 [R,L]
If your .htaccess file already exists, insert the lines that begin with ReWriteCond and RewriteRule directly after the already existing ReWriteEngine On.
Click Save Changes and Close.
That’s it. Visit your website and you’ll be re-directed to the HTTPS version.
If you use WordPress, then follow these steps:
Log into your WordPress Dashboard.
Visit Settings, click General.
Locate the following fields:
WordPress Address (URL)
Site Address (URL)
In each field, update your URLs from http to https
Scroll down and click Save Changes.
Open your current .htaccess file in the /public_html/ folder with the cPanel file manager for editing. If you don’t already have a .htaccess file, you’ll need to create one.
Insert the following code at the top of your .htaccess file:
Click Save Changes at the top-right corner of the screen.
In some cases you will need to edit your .htaccess file, if you don’t want that then you may also use a WordPress plugin such as Really Simple SSL It saves you from following so many technical steps.
The SSL certificate establishes encryption over information that is sent to the server. It is the process of scrambling data into an undecipherable format that can only be returned to a readable format with the proper decryption key.
Hence, when a client attempts to send confidential information to a Web server, the user’s browser accesses the server’s digital certificate and establishes a secure connection.
It also authenticates the identity of a website. An SSL certificate contains the following information:
The certificate holder’s name & public key
The certificate’s serial number and expiration date
The digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority
Once you have subscribed to an SSL of your choice, you will need to request an SSL activation for your website, which can be done by following this tutorial here.
Next, download SSL on your local machine (laptop, etc)
In most cases (especially on Managed WordPress and Business Hosting) the system auto-installs the certificate. Whereas, dedicated server users can manually install it by following these steps:
Open SANGKRIT.net account
Visit your Products page
Select SSL Certificates
Select Manage for the certificate you want to download.
Under Download Certificate, select a Server type and then select Download Zip File.
Launch your dedicated server:
Visit your Products page
Click the Servers tab
Next to the account, you want to use, click Launch
From the management interface, next to cPanel Site,
Click Manage Server (WHM) and click Proceed
Upload & Install SSL certificate
Search SSL on the left sidebar menu
Click Install an SSL certificate on the domain
Type your domain name in the first field
Click the Browse button
Select and upload your SSL certificate
Click Install button
When you choose the browse and upload option for uploading the certificate you have purchased from SANGKRIT.net, there is no need to fill up any other field, these are auto-discovered from the SSL you are uploading.
The next coming lesson is about redirecting your websites and all their links from HTTP to secure HTTPS.
The dedicated servers at SANGKRIT.net offer you a WHM admin panel that lets you create multiple cPanel hosting accounts to host your websites and apps.
Before you start, make sure you have subscribed to a Dedicated Server at SANGKRIT.net.
Click Launch (Next to the account, you want to use)
Click Manage Server (WHM) (visible next to cPanel Site)
Click Proceed
This directs you to the administration area of your dedicated server which can be divided into five major sections:

The lifesaver icon allows you to view the support menu that covers the following set of features:
Support Forums for discussing cPanel issues
Link for accessing the knowledge base documentation
Contact option to submit a ticket to cPanel Technical Support
This section only covers the most helpful features of WHM. To view all of the features in the home interface you may switch to classic view.
Section 3, The Side Navigation
The side navigation menu provides you access to all of the admin interfaces. Here, you may either scroll and select a page or simply search the specific admin pages.
This is a very deep section that lets you manage almost all functions of your dedicated server.
Section 4, Demo Steps
Here, you will find new notices, demo, and steps for quick access to some important actions needed on your new server.
Sections 5, Functions
This section displays the admin page you click from the side navigation (section -3). It provides the server’s root user and resellers with access to all of the server’s administration features.
Now you are introduced to your server’s admin panel.
Next, start by searching ‘Account Functions‘ on the side navigation. The option lets you host domains and manage your cPanel accounts, follow this lesson.
