Hey Zeroeth, welcome to dathorn

1) the WHM is used to make "packages", and then "Accounts" themselves;

2) Once you have an account made, and the domain has propagated to
Dathorn servers, you can log into cPanel via: http://domain.com/cpanel
using the username/password you setup in WHM.

3) You use cPanel for actual site admin taskes, such
as phpMyAdmin, setting up email accounts, subdomains, mySQL databases, etc.

If I didn't cover anything and/or fully ask say so

thankyou very much for the reply...
now i have created a package...and then an account...
now how does the domain propagate to dathorn servers?
so that i can access it via http://domain.com/cpanel?

the domain im using is cyberjewelz.com...

Log into your domain registrar (which looks to be namesdirect) and update the nameservers/DNS info for your domain to the servers given in your welcome email from Dathorn. Propagation will then take 24-72 hours before you can access your account through the domain name.

Before propagation, you can log into your cpanel at http://serverIP/cpanel to set up your databases/email accounts before the domain goes live. The server IP should also be in your welcome email..

gr8..i finally managed to setup the database and all...ty

in the email from dathorn i have a server ip address ...
how do i access my files...
when i type in http://serverIP/somefilename.php

nothing shows?

[nefadol]

You need to type it like this:

http://cpanel##.gzo.com/~username/

Change out your cpanel number and the username you put for your domain.

to access a particular file you'd go to http://serverIP/~username/file.php

oke roger that...i appreciate everyones help...
there is just one more thing id like to know...
once my domain is propagated...
can i access my files like this instead?

http://www.cyberjewelz.com/somefile.php ??

if yes then how?

if no then what do i need to do for it to work this way?

[zeroeth]

and working as desired...almost...
