When I got a webhosting space my reseller didnt created the username with proper spelling. Since I had to put site urgently I didnt go for change of name.

First of all can the CPanel/Hosting username be changed? If yes, then how?

If it can be changed will all the settings be lost?

Do I have to upload the site again?

Plz let me know

All hosted users have a cPanel username and it can be changed or deleted. If the reseller made a mistake with the spelling, then if the name is either deleted or changed, it doesn't matter which, the hosting WILL be deleted the next time they prune and update. You will have to rehost and reconfigure your settings all over again. Its a b1tch, but that's why you gotta take real good care before hosting.

Yes as enoonmai says you will lose all the things....and moreover you cannot change the username...you have to make a request to the reseller to change the username.

Deep, he doesn't seem to have reseller priviledges. He doesn't have access to WHM :) His reseller will have to do it for him.
