You may not create a domain with a name that is the server’s hostname.
So do I have to make the cPanel account a subdomain? Something like admin.helloworld.com?
Typically when setting up the VPS, you would use a subdomain as the hostname (i.e. server1.helloworld.com), not your domain name (helloworld.com).
If that is how you are setup, you’ll need to change the hostname.
cPanel has an option for that in WHM, so it’s not too difficult.
