Eos: Create Account on mainnet

[gittempo]

I have setup a EOS node on ubuntu server.

Now while creating account i have seen, this command has to be used

cleos -u http://IP-HERE:8888 system newaccount --stake-net "0.1000 EOS" --stake-cpu "0.1000 EOS" --buy-ram-kbytes 8 eosio myDesiredAccountName Public key Public key

my question is, Here account system is creating newaccount. So this system account must have some EOS balance to pay money that is written into the above command?

This system command could be on any exchange or wallet out side of my node?

Im stucked here because im not able to create my account.

One more question, if i create account successfully then where in EOS blockchain network / explorer i can check if account actually exists into the blockchain?

@gittempo you can use https://zeos.co/ to check whether a name is available.
The verify whether you account is created type the new name of the account to any eos block explorer search function. e.g.

Wowww thanks for nice working links.

Can you write some words regarding this command in my question?

cleos -u http://IP-HERE:8888 system newaccount --stake-net "0.1000 EOS" --stake-cpu "0.1000 EOS" --buy-ram-kbytes 8 eosio myDesiredAccountName Public key Public key

If i create an account from https://zeos.co for example testtesttest is account name

then while using this command, i should use test account and its public key as owner? and then we are done with main net? BTW what main net URL should be used for this purpose?

cleos -u http://IP-HERE:8888 system newaccount --stake-net "0.1000 EOS" --stake-cpu "0.1000 EOS" --buy-ram-kbytes 8 testtesttest myDesiredAccountName TestTestTestPublicKey Public key

As far as I understand the user 'eosio'/'testtesttest' is creating the account. This account should have founds to be able to buy the ram when creating the new account.

This system command could be on any exchange or wallet out side of my node?

I am not sure about this.

then while using this command, i should use test account and its public key as owner?

Yes since you are creating a new account from 'eosio'/ 'testesttest' public key. You will have control over this account as the author.

and then we are done with main net?

As far as creating the account. I think so.

BTW what main net URL should be used for this purpose?

I don't understand the question. As long as you are running your node you should be connected to the main net/test net. I have not come across any documentation where you have to specify the main net url when creating the account.

I think you can use this command to test if your node is connected to mainnet. Since we are running a p2p network.
cleos --url http://mainnet.eoscalgary.io:80
