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.)

Tabs & actions

  • Shared IP — pick the default IPv4 address used for new accounts.
    • Root: choose from the server’s configured IP addresses.
    • Reseller: choose from IPs assigned to that reseller.
    Effect: only new accounts take this IP unless a dedicated IP is explicitly selected at creation time.
  • 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).
    Effect: applied to newly created domains/zones. Existing zones are unchanged.
  • PHP Settings (root only) — select the default PHP version for new accounts.
    • The drop-down lists all PHP versions available on the server (e.g., php80, php81, php84).
    Effect: new accounts inherit this PHP version; existing accounts keep their current version.

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 (optional ns3, ns4).
  • PHP default: select php81 to make PHP 8.1 the baseline for new accounts.
