I spent a couple days gathering all my cPanel information, and organizing it into one large "Get Started" page for newbie cPanel / WHM server owners.

The guide will be updated OFTEN with new information, and new addons.

Stickied! Looks good!

Thanks, looks good

Nice job Todd

How about a tutoril on setting up WM and Cpanel for the very first time, like the first time you log on to WHM it asks you a billion little questions, with very little descrioption as to WTF it means... can someone tell me how to set this up???

I`ve started this but I need a "FRESH" WHM server to do this perfectly, I don't want to "guess"

If someone can provide me a fresh new server I`ll do a complete 100% write-up

Thanks

Hey Todd,

I have a fresh server would you still be willing to do this (and set me up in the process)?

Thanks,
Chris
