Link a WHM Account to Upmind

This article shows resellers how to link a WHM account to an Upmind account. After linking accounts, the next step is to create a hosting package on Upmind. That is where you name the package, configure details, and set billing terms.

• We describe hosting package details in a different article. Learn more.

Adding a new provision

The first step is to configure a new provision. This is how you add web servers and domain providers via APIs.

1. Log in to your Upmind account.
2. Click Settings.
3. On the next page, click Provision Configurations.
4. Click the Add new configuration button to add a WHM server account. A new panel displays.

• The screenshot below shows two active services (domain hosting and web hosting).

Creating a provision

On the new panel:

1. Enter a unique name for the service.
2. Click the PROVISION CATEGORY field and select Web Hosting. A new field displays.

3. Select a provider (e.g. cPanel, PLESK, or 20i Hosting). In this example, we select cPanel.
4. Set the protocol (e.g. HTTPS).
5. Enter the hostname. (see below)
6. Enter 2087 for the port.
7. Enter the WHM username. (see below)
8. Enter the WHM API key. (see below)

3. Click Create.

Copying WHM information

To complete all the fields in the panel described above, you need to find and copy three pieces of information on your WHM account.

• Hostname
• WHM Username
• API key

To quickly locate the correct information:

1. Open your reseller account.
2. Select the package you want to add to Upmind.

3. On the next page, click the button that logs in to your WHM control panel.
