How to Create a User Account (Domain Account) on CWP (CentOS Web Panel)

In (CWP), creating a user account allows you to manage hosting resources for individual websites or domains. Each user account is isolated, meaning users can manage their domains, databases, emails, and other resources separately since they will have separate cPanels.

Prerequisites: #

• Root or reseller access to the CWP admin panel.
• A valid domain name pointing to your server’s IP address via DNS.
• A valid domain name whose account you wan t to add.
