Account Default
Baseline settings applied to new hosting accounts. Existing accounts are not modified when you change values here.
Access: root and reseller. (Root sees system-wide options, resellers see options scoped to their assignments.)

- Root: choose from the server’s configured IP addresses.
- Reseller: choose from IPs assigned to that reseller.
- Nameservers — set default NS records (NS1–NS4) used when new accounts/domains are provisioned.
- NS1 and NS2 are required; NS3 and NS4 are optional.
- Must be valid hostnames (e.g.,
ns1.example.com
).

Shared IP — guidance
- Pick an address that’s routable and allowed by your firewall.
- Changing the default does not move existing accounts between IPs.
Nameservers — guidance
- Use FQDNs; avoid typos like missing dots or trailing hyphens.
- If you operate your own nameservers, ensure glue/A records exist at your registrar.
PHP default — guidance (root)
- Choose the version that matches your platform’s recommended baseline.
- Per-domain overrides can still be set later in PHP Manager.
Examples
- Shared IP: set to
10.10.10.10
→ all new accounts bind their web vhosts to this IP by default. - Nameservers:
ns1.mydns.net
,ns2.mydns.net
(optionalns3
,ns4
). - PHP default: select
php81
to make PHP 8.1 the baseline for new accounts.
Note: These defaults apply at creation time only. Existing accounts, domains, and PHP versions remain unchanged unless you edit them explicitly later.
