How can I create a demo version of cPanel?

How do I stop users from getting the "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" message when logging into cPanel?

Under Manage Service SSL Certificates in the Service Configuration section of WHM, you can change the certificates for cPanel/WHM/Webmail, your mail servers, etc. You'll need to replace the self-signed certificate with one trusted by the common browsers.

To do this, you can purchase a SSL certificate through WHM for your hostname by using Purchase & Install SSL Certificate under SSL/TLS.



How do I setup personal nameservers in WHM?

You will need an IP address for each nameserver.

Under Basic cPanel/WHM Setup, scroll down to Primary Nameserver.

Now add your nameservers in the fields available. Click on Assign IP Address next to each nameserver to assign it an IP. Then add an A entry so they will resolve through DNS. Finally, make sure that you scroll down and click on Nameserver Setup under Service Configuration and enable the nameserver.
