  3. Fill out the details for your new cPanel account:

    • Domain: The domain you wish to use for this account.

    • Username: The name of the account you are creating. This is auto-filled by the server. We suggest you leave this as-is.

    • Password/Re-type Password: The password for this account. We highly recommend using the "Generate" button to the right of the password field to create a secure random password. 

    • Email: The email address the server will send alerts related to this account to.
