3. Set up hosts
The ClonePanel system is now set up, but before it can do anything useful you need to enter information about the host systems it will connect to and the accounts on them.
This is done by entering the commands "./server add" and "./account add", and following the prompts.
[tester@ACER scripts]$ ./server add

[tester@ACER scripts]$
Here we’ve specified a host server (it may be a shared or reseller account, VPS or dedicated server). Since we answered "y" to the monitoring question there was some more information needed - the IP, domain name and path to the monitor program. More about monitoring later.
At this point if you have other hosts (for example, if you want to mirror a web site onto a second server) you can define them in the same way. Or if you prefer this can be done later.
