Getting Started

Your First Hosting Account

Your First Hosting Account

Once Vanta Panel is installed, you create hosting accounts from vWHM (the admin panel).

Create an account

1. In vWHM (/vwhm), open Create Account.
2. Enter a username (3–16 characters, lowercase letters and digits) and a primary domain.
3. Optionally set a password (or let one be generated for you) and assign a package to set the account's limits.
4. Create the account.

Each account gets its own Linux user, disk quota, and resource limits — fully isolated from every other account.

Log in as the account

That account now has its own vPanel login at https://<your-server>/vpanel, where the customer manages their websites, email, databases, DNS, SSL and more.

What is the free tier limit?

Without a license, Vanta Panel is capped at 1 account, 1 email address, and 1 database. To raise these limits, activate a license — see Activating your license.

Next steps

• Managing websites and domains — add domains, subdomains and addon domains.
• Setting up email — create mailboxes, forwarders and webmail.
• Packages and plans — define reusable limit sets for your accounts.
