How to Create a Website in CyberPanel

This guide shows how to create a website in the current CyberPanel interface. A website created here receives its own document root, virtual host, PHP configuration, and optional mail domain.

Before you begin: create DNS records for the domain and point them to the CyberPanel server. Enter only the domain name in CyberPanel, without http://, https://, or a path.

Step 1: Open Create Website

Sign in to CyberPanel. On the Dashboard, select Create Website. You can also open Websites from the sidebar and choose the create option there.

Open Create Website from the Dashboard.

Step 2: Choose the package and owner

Select the hosting Package that controls the site’s resource limits. Then choose the Owner. A non-admin owner can manage the website from that user’s account.

Select the package and website owner.

Step 3: Enter the domain details

Enter the domain, an administrative email address, and the PHP version required by the application. You can change the PHP version later from the website management screen.

Enter the domain, email address, and PHP version.

Step 4: Decide whether to create a mail domain

Enable Create Mail Domain if this server will host email for the domain. Leave it disabled when mail is hosted by another provider. The Apache backend option is optional and should only be enabled when the application needs it and the server supports that mode.

Enable the mail domain only when CyberPanel will host the domain’s mail.

Step 5: Create the website

Review the values, then select Create Website. Keep the page open until CyberPanel reports that the operation has completed.

After creation

Open Websites and confirm that the new domain appears. If the site does not open publicly, verify the domain’s DNS records, firewall access to ports 80 and 443, and the selected PHP version. You can issue a trusted certificate from Security → Manage SSL after DNS resolves to this server.
