Once your server has finished installing cPanel you will be required to set up your domain for cPanel to work:

• Visit your new dedicated servers IP address followed by :8000 for example 192.168.0.1:8000 by going to it in your browser as follows:

Create a subdomain using your domains DNS manager, we will use Cloudflare however it will be the same on any domain registrar

• Create an A record, we will use cpanel

• Go to the dedicated control panel https://dedicated.pebblehost.com/ and select your server

• Scroll down to the `rDNS Management and set the PTR record to the sub domain you have just set up

• Go back to your server IP in your browser and enter you sub domain you have set up
