How to create a domain

Creating a domain account

Before adding a new Domain account, you have to create a Plan for the Domain account.


 1. Add a Domain Plan

Go to the "Client Home" page
Click on "Domain Plans" icon.



In the next page, click the "Add Domain Plan" tab.


In the next page, enter the Plan requirements:

Enter a Plan name
Enter a Description for the Plan
Select an IP Address from the IP Pool
Select a DNS Template from the list of DNS Templates

The Maximum Value on the right shows your current quota limit set by your Administrator

Enter a Disk Space Usage Limit in MB
Enter the maximum number Of Subdomains allowed
Enter the maximum Disk Space allocated for Mail usage
Enter the maximum number of Auto Responders allowed
Enter the maximum number of Mail Accounts allowed
Enter the maximum number of Mailing Lists allowed
Enter the Traffic Usage Limit per month in MB
Enter the maximum number of mySQL databases allowed
Enter the maximum number of Domain users allowed
Enter the maximum number of Addon Domains allowed
Allow changing the logo or not

Allow enabling Statistics or not
Allow enabling CGI or not
Allow enabling PHP or not
Allow enabling ASP.NET (will be ignored on a Linux server) or not
Allow Scheduler Management or not
Allow Back Up or not
Allow DNS Management or not
Enable Catchall - selecting "bounce" will bounce all emails sent to a non-existing email address, which "postmaster" will forward emails that are sent to a non-existant email address to the default postmaster email address

Now Click the "Add" button to create the new Domain plan. You can always edit the Plan details from the Domain Plans page

You have now created a Domain plan, now lets proceed to create a Domain account


 2. Add a domain account


Go back to the "Client Home" page and click the "Domains" button



You will now be presented with the list of existing domain accounts. To create a new domain account, click on the "Add Domain" tab on the top


Now enter the following information in the next page to create a domain account:

Domain name
Password (twice for confirmation)
Contact email address
If you want to send a Welcome email automatically to the user, enable the "Send Welcome Message" check box.
Select the Plan which you created earlier from the drop down list
Now click the "Add" button.

Note: While adding a domain, Lxadmin will automatically create a primary FTP user which would be of the form domaincom .

Note for Windows servers: If your domain name starts with a digit, then an 'a' will be added to the beginning, since windows won't allow creation of pure digit usernames. So if you add a domain '888.com', the primary FTP user would 'a888com'. You can find your Primary FTP user in the 'domain home' page itself, on the header for the second line of icons (the list of icons for site ). Or you can find it in the 'information' tab on the right. You will be able to login to this user using ftp, and password would be the CP password. The primary ftp user password is always synced with the CP password, and if you change your CP password, automatically the primary FTP user password is also changed.

The domain's document root would be /home/httpd/domain.com/httpdocs/www

You will now be able to view the newly added domain in the list of domains under the "Domains" page.
