When you park a domain, you usually register another domain name but not use it or place any content on it.

Follow these steps to learn how to park your domain in WHM:

1. How to park a domain in WHM.

2. Log in to WHM. Customers can park domains themselves from their cPanel control panels so you’ll rarely have to use this feature in WHM. Click the DNS Functions link.

3. Click the Park a Domain icon.

4. Parking a domain will automatically set up a DNS zone in the server. In this tutorial, we want to park (or point) a new domain to demo123.com. Select the existing domain in the Domain to Park on top of box.

5. Enter the new domain to park in the Domain to Park box.

6. Type in mydemo123.com on the box. To create the DNS zone, click the Submit button.

7. That’s it! We’ve just created a new DNS zone so that our new domain will point to our existing domain. Make sure that you now update the name servers of the parked domain to the same values as demo123.com. Both domain names must have the same name server settings and after 24-48 hours of propagation, the new domain will be successfully pointing to the original domain.

8. This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to park a domain in WHM. Remember that customers can do these themselves with their own domains from their cPanel.

9. Thank you for watching our tutorial. Be sure to let us know if you have any questions.

WebHost Manager serves as your main control center for your WHM package/cPanel. It lets you monitor services, bandwidth, accounts and almost all aspects of your web hosting processes.

The video tutorial & demo below will help you understand and navigate WHM. Just follow these steps:

1. Becoming familiar with, and navigating around WHM.

2. Log in to WHM. WHM is your resellers control panel. The purpose of WHM is to give resellers the control they need to create, delete, suspend and upgrade hosting. It also has several other tools to help manage the accounts. Every hosting account created in WHM has its own cPanel, an end user control panel. On this center frame, there are several icons we can click on. These correspond to headings on the left frame of the main WHM page. Clicking on an icon will bring up sub-icons that correspond to all the tools available on the left. Click the Account Information button.

3. There are five available tools that can be used under Account Information. To access any of these tools, you can click on the corresponding icon in this frame. You can also click the link here in this menu frame. You could have also done this from the WHM home page.

4. Scroll down on the left frame to see all the available tools in WHM.

5. As you can see, there are dozens of tools available to you in WHM.

6. Scroll back up. The News link on the center frame is where you would get news from your reseller plan provider, if they use this feature in WHM. Click the News link.

7. As you can see, there is no news displayed. Click the Change Log link.

8. The Change Log page shows detailed information of your version of WHM and historical information about when it was updated and what changes were made. To log out of WHM, simply close your browser or click the Logout link.

9. This is the end of the demo. You should now be much more familiar with WHM and how to navigate its pages. For more information on how to perform specific tasks, please refer to our other demos.

An MX entry is used whenever STMP mail is sent to a remote server. It provides options for mail delivery.

To manage your MX entries in your account, follow the steps in the guide below:

1. Managing MX entries in WHM.

2. Log in to WHM. Now let’s learn how to manage our MX entries. Click the DNS functions link.

3. Click the edit MX entry link.

4. Select the account for which you want a customized MX entry.

5. Select Demo123.com.

6. Click the Edit button. The MX entry page will load. This is where you can specify a custom MX entry. You may want to do this for customers who want their email hosted elsewhere on another server. In those cases, you would enter the other server’s IP addresses here and then click the Save button. We’re not going to do this now, because we don’t want to disturb the existing settings.

7. This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to manage MX entries in WHM. Remember that unless you want to point mail to a different mail server (not in this server), you never have to modify your MX settings.

8. Thank you for watching our demo. Be sure to let us know if you have any questions.
