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
To create a hosting account, follow these steps:
Firstly, you need to access the WEB area.
You will see a list of already created hosting accounts, along with their information such as disk space and bandwidth consumed.
You will also see a floating menu of options to modify the account. You can edit it, suspend it, delete it, etc.
At the top left, you will find an Add Web Domain button which you can use to create a new hosting account.
It is not recommended to create hosting accounts under the main admin user. HestiaCP will alert you about this recommendation.
Creating the hosting account will require the following information:
The domain that will be associated with the hosting account.
The IP address it will use (if you have more than one).
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.
Enabling Mail Support will allow you to create mailboxes with this domain.
Once everything is configured, you can save it with the Save button or cancel everything with the Back button.
