You may not create a domain with a name that is the servers hostname.

Hello, I have a server with a hostname lets say server123.myservers.tld in which I have installed an SSL that I have bought, for https usage in services like cpanel,webmail etc. Since cpanel offers free ssl certificates, I would like to use a free one, but to order the certificate, an account with the domain name server123.myservers.tld must exist in the server. When I go to Account Functions -> Create New account -> and use the hostname as domain, server123.myservers.tld I get the follow error: Account Creation Status: failed (XID 8ab7hq) You may not create a domain with a name that is the server"s hostname. Any suggestions? Is there any way to get the free SSL from cPanel without creating an account for the server's hostname ?

Nevermind, I just found the emails "Your free cPanel-signed hostname SSL certificate" which had the certificate so I just installed it.

Hello, You can also review the following document to see how Domain TLS works with the cPanel services: What is Domain TLS - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Thank you.
