How to create a hosting account in HestiaCP?

To create a hosting account you must follow these steps:

  1. First, you must enter the WEB area.
  2. You will see a list of hosting accounts already created, with their information, such as disk space and bandwidth used.
  3. You will also see a floating menu of options to modify the account. You can edit it, suspend it, delete it, etc.
  4. At the top left you will see an Add Web Domain button with which you can create a new hosting account.

Creating the hosting account will require the following information:

  1. The domain that the hosting account will have.
  2. The IP number it will use (if you have more than one).
  3. The Create DNS Zone option will create a DNS zone from where you can point domains and subdomains to different servers or configure MX records, etc. It is highly recommended to create the DNS zone.
  4. Enabling Mail Support will allow creating mailboxes with this domain.
  5. Once everything is configured you should save with the Save button or you can cancel everything with the Back button.
