# How to create a hosting account in HestiaCP?

{% hint style="warning" %}
Creating hosting accounts requires having a **user** created. If you haven't created a **user** yet, follow the steps in this guide:\
[https://github.com/sitioshispanos/gitbook-helpdesk-en/blob/master/guias/paneles-de-control/panel-de-control-hestiacp/cuentas-de-hosting/how-to-create-users-for-hosting-accounts-in-hestiacp.md](https://github.com/sitioshispanos/gitbook-helpdesk-en/blob/master/guias/paneles-de-control/panel-de-control-hestiacp/cuentas-de-hosting/how-to-create-users-for-hosting-accounts-in-hestiacp.md "mention")
{% endhint %}

To create a hosting account, follow these steps:

1. Firstly, you need to access the **WEB** area.
2. You will see a list of already created hosting accounts, along with their information such as disk space and bandwidth consumed.
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 find an **Add Web Domain** button which you can use to create a new hosting account.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is not recommended to create hosting accounts under the main **admin** user. **HestiaCP** will alert you about this recommendation.
{% endhint %}

Creating the hosting account will require the following information:

1. The domain that will be associated with the hosting account.
2. The IP address 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 you to create mailboxes with this domain.
5. Once everything is configured, you can save it with the **Save** button or cancel everything with the **Back** button.
