I am new to this so please forgive me. I have recently setup an account with McHost. I want to know if it is possible to setup private individual CPanels with sub domains? Thanks for your time.

Problems like these happened with other hosting companies, search the reseller forums :) With disabling these features in the demo we just make sure that nobody can abuse the server.

We used the WHM option of 'enabling demo mode' on the account, and we will only give out details of the demo of both WHM and Cpanel through email - I see some hosts offer links to a demo from their site, and imho, this is asking for trouble... Matt MCHost-Marc 02-20-2002, 05:56 AM A static demo (see http://demo:account@mchost.com/cpanel/ ) with everything disabled is pretty much the safest way. I see dozens of hosting companies out there with a fully-functional CPanel demo, from webmail over FTP to even shell access. Even without shell access, any spammer/cracker could and will upload files in less than a minute and bring the machine down. mdrussell 02-20-2002, 06:13 AM Originally posted by Kiwi A static demo (see http://demo:account@mchost.com/cpanel/ ) with everything disabled is pretty much the safest way.
