What details are needed for a new cPanel account in WHM?

The workflow collects the domain information, selects a package and reviews account, mail-routing and DNS settings before using Let.com.

Why might WHM refuse to create the new account?

The guide lists an existing domain or username, exhausted reseller resource allocations and a package-use limit as possible causes.

Which mail-routing choice needs special attention?

The article distinguishes locally hosted email from email provided elsewhere. Choose routing that matches where the new domain’s mail will be handled.
