Here, you can manage your existing subaccounts or create a new one. You’ll be able to choose a unique username and password for your client during this setup process.

Once the sub account has been created, it will show up at the top of the screen whenever you access the Sub Account page.

A sub account will keep the same contact details and nameservers as your primary account, so you can rest assured that you’ll continue to have control over essential aspects of managing your clients’ domains while still giving them the freedom to log into their own account.
