http://rkhtech.org/screenshots/1392329531.png It is recommended to provision your server with these settings. Raid 1 is for a mirrored array which adds redundancy to the server while. Raid 0 is a stripped array which doubles the risk of losing data when a drive failure occurs.

It is recommended that you check both boxes and also register these nameservers with your domain registrar. Please contact your domain registrar on how to do so.

The server will then apply those settings and will present you with the homepage when you login to WHM.

You may reach this page by going to https://<server ip>:2087. Login with the username "root" and the root password that you setup before provisioning the server.
