Domain Information

                           The Domain Information section of the Create a New Account interface defines basic settings for a user’s account
 
      To set up the domain, perform the following steps:
                   1.Enter the domain name for the new account in the Domain text box (for example, example.com).
                   2.Enter the username for the new account in the Username text box.

                        => You must choose a unique username that contains 16 characters or fewer.

                                 => The username must contain only letters and numbers.

                                  => The username cannot start with a number or the string test.      

                                  => If you plan to use MySQL or PostgreSQL as a database engine, the first eight charactersmust be unique on the system to prevent issues with database prefixing and account                                                    transfers. However, this restriction does not apply to servers that run MariaDB.

                   3.Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.

                                 =>  Some web hosts require a minimum password strength. A green password Strengthmeter indicates that the password is equal to or greater than the required password strength.                                    => Click Password Generator to generate a strong password.
