I am conducting a training class and I would like for each student to have their own cpanel account. I have both a reseller account and a dedicated server. They both have cpanel with whm. The only way I know how to do this is to register a domain for each cpanel account. So the issue here is that I don't want to register a domain for each account. I want to somehow create the accounts without having to register domains for each one.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks for your help.

use subdomains when setting up the accounts.

sub1.yourdomain.com
sub2.yourdomain.com and so on

Another way to do what I think you want is just by using the hostname and then adding /~username

so server1.example.com/~user1

that will bring you to user1's folder just as if they had a domain. Just make sure all the paths in the site are relative not using the domain.

Yeah, subdomains work fine, I use them for server status. ;)

first create the account with the subdomain in mind then just set up the a-records first and point it back to the server's IP. I've done it plenty of times for small sites and test sites.

Do it in your whm.Create accounts with subdomains,that really works fine.
