WHMCS Configuring Servers
How to Configure Servers in WHMCS (Version 5)

Note: If you only assign one server to a group, select the Add to the least full server fill option.

How to Configure Servers in WHMCS (Previous Versions)
- Begin by going to Setup > Servers in WHMCS.
- Click Add New Server.
- Enter the name of your server, its hostname and IP address.
- The "Max. No. of Accounts" is used for load balancing. It is the most accounts this server can handle. If you only have one server, enter a high number.
- Enter your server's nameservers and nameserver IP addresses.
- For reseller accounts and Linux dedicated servers, select cPanel from the dropdown list for "type."
- Enter your server login details. These are the root/reseller details you use to administer the server.
- We recommend that cPanel users enter the access hash for added security. Login to WHM in a new tab or window and go to Remote Key Access.
- Copy the Current Access Key.
- Return to WHMCS and paste the key into the Access Hash field.
- Click Save Changes.
- Ensure the server is set as the default server for new accounts. This is denoted by the asterisk. Click the server name to make it the default.
