Here are 3 simple steps to setting up a WebHost Manager reseller account.

Create Packages
The first thing you need to do when you get approved for your reseller packages is log into the Web Host Manager (WHM). You can do this via http://www.yourdomain.com/whm or http://www.yourdomain.com:2086 (where yourdomain.com is your actual domain name).
Once logged in you will need to start out by creating some package types. These can be allocated to your clients.
This option is available under the 
Packages section:
- Click the
Add Packages icon.
- Decide on a name for your package
- Fill in the details you'd like to allocate the package that you would like to allow for the package type:
- Quota (disk space in MB)
- Bandwidth Limit (also in MB)
- Number of email addresses
- Number of databases
- Nubmer of ftp accounts
- Number of domains, etc. .
Once you have created all the package types you want you can assign one of them to your own Domain's Account.
Assign a Package to your own Domain's Account
Here's how you assign a package to your own Domain's Account:
- Go back to the main page of the WHM (link at top of page)
- Click Account Information button
- Click List Accounts - Your registered domain should be listed here.
- In the column that says Package, click the Edit icon to open the package options.
- Select the Package Type you wish to allocate to your own account.
Note: Some new reseller accounts are set up incorrectly and will not show the primary account in the list of accounts as described above. If this is the case you will not be able to assign a package to your own domain. To solve this, contact Jumba support.
Create Accounts for your clients
Once you have added your own account, you can add new clients. This is done through the Account Functions:
- Click Create a New Account
- Enter the domain of your client
- Give the client a username and password
- Select a Package Type - the other details will be filled in automatically once you chose the package type.
