I just finished installing a cPanel server so teachers can host their pages internally rather than using external host providers. I am trying to set up the first teacher page which he currently has hosted with a provider using cPanel. Therefore he knows how to navigate cPanel. The problem is I am new to cPanel\WHM. To be honest, I am amazed I got as far as I have. I created an account for the teacher and named the domain the same as his current site...lets call it teacher1.org. I chose the Default Package. It looks like I set it up with the "main shared IP". I don't know if this was the correct way to set it up. I will have other teacher's sites to add. all with separate domain names. Teacher1 is ready to reassign his domain name to my host but I have no idea what ip or domain to give him.

  Hello, You will need to setup name servers for the server using the instructions documented at: How to Set Up Nameservers in a cPanel Environment - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Once the name servers are created, the users can then update the name servers for their domain names to the ones you created using the administrative interface of their domain registrar. This will ensure the domain name resolves to the new server. Thank you.
