WHM for Newbies

[Maximus]

I have defined the general purpose of Web Host Manager (WHM) in my other thread ``WHM and WHMCS`` , so today I`m going to make a quick guide through WHM main functions . The installation of WHM is pretty much the same as already described WHMCS installation , so lets start directly reviewing WHM main functions .
WHM has a variety of managing options , but the most used ones are creating/upgrading/suspending/terminating accounts and also all informational related modules . To create a new account , under WHM , you have to find ``Account Functions`` section and then click ``Create a New Account``. You will be taken to a setup page , where you have to enter information about your new account , such as Domain Information,Package/Web-hosting Plan,cPanel Theme,Language,DNS Settings and Mail Routing Settings . When all of the required information is entered , you have to just press the ``create`` button and your new account is ready in approximately 10 seconds . Complete account information is send to your e-mail, so you can print it for your records, if you want . In WHM , you can Force Password Changes,Limit Bandwidth Usage or Modify an Account very easy from the same ``Account Functions`` module . To execute any of the available function , you must simply select it and repeat the steps from ``Create a New Account`` . If you want to check your server resources , you have to find ``Server Status`` and click ``Service Status`` . After you have selected the above submodule , you will have access to system information , such as Server load,Memory Used and Swap Used . Other information provided on the same page is all HDD usage and the amount of information stored in the main directories .You can check also all running services , their version and current status.
