You can <strong>add multiple hosting accounts<\/strong> and manage all of them from a single panel. The benefit of adding a hosting account is that, when you want to install an app (e.g. WordPress) you do not need to create a database or upload the files manually. Just select the hosting account and domain on the install form and Softaculous will use the control panel APIs to perform the required operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note&nbsp;<\/strong>: At the moment this feature supports cPanel and Webuzo only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go to Hosting Accounts Page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.softaculous.com\/index.php?act=hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hosting Accounts<\/a> from the left menu to visit the Hosting Accounts page which lists all existing hosting accounts.
