What is Skeleton Directory and how can you use it?

Resellers launching web hosting companies initially don’t know about many of WHM’s capabilities. Among the WHM components, Skeleton Directory holds significant importance. One may wonder what the Skeleton Directory is and how it’s used.

A Hosting reseller stores all of the interim homepages for newly established web hosting user accounts in the Skeleton Directory, which is accessible through the WHM interface. This guide will show you where the directory is located precisely and how to utilize it.

Perform the following steps to do so :

1) Log in to your WHM panel.

2) On the WHM main page, click on the Account Functions link. After clicking the link the page gets reload and shows you the functions available into the Account Functions.

3) Click the Skeleton Directory link to get the directory. A directory is a place where you can put a temporary web page for the new web hosting accounts created. The default homepage gets displayed in the visitors’ browsers until a new homepage is uploaded to the hosting account.

4) To change the temporary homepage, use an FTP program or the File Manager and upload another homepage into your main cPanel account.

Now, if you are a reseller or going to start own reseller web hosting business, then make sure you make use of the Skeleton Directory by uploading a decent temporary homepage into it.
