Create a cPanel Server
Before you can sell and provision cPanel hosting accounts, you must add at least one cPanel & WHM server to your WHMCS installation.
For more information, see cPanel.
In WHMCS 8.13 and later, you can also configure your first cPanel server during initial setup at Configuration () > Getting Started Wizard.

2. Log in to WHMCS.

3. Add a new server.
Go to Configuration () > System Settings > Servers and click Add New Server.
4. Select the cPanel module.

5. Enter your server settings.
Enter the server hostname or IP address, your WHM username, and the API token that you created.
For more information, see cPanel or contact your hosting provider or system administrator.
6. Test the server connection.
