Reseller Plans - How do they work?

Your own web hosting business
YOU create your own custom hosting plans (or packages) and decide how many POP3 emails, MySQL databases, how much storage space, how much bandwidth, how many parked domains, addon domains and sub domains, whether or not to include FrontPage extensions, and more... for every account you create.

Then, create as many hosting accounts as you like, assigning each one their own unique username and password (for login to their control panel, FTP, etc). You can create an unlimited number of hosting accounts, as long as you stay within the storage space and monthly bandwidth limits of your reseller plan.

You can use these hosting accounts for your own use, or sell them to customers of your own.... it's entirely up to you.

You CAN oversell!
We only count how much storage space and bandwidth all your accounts are USING, and NOT what you've allotted to them. So feel free to sell 500mb hosting accounts, knowing full well the average person will use less than 10mb of that.

WebHost Manager (WHM)

webhostmanager.gif (111451 bytes)You get exclusive access to your own "resellers control panel" called WebHost Manager. This is where you setup and create your hosting accounts. You can also manage your accounts with such tools as server status, list accounts, view bandwidth usages and limits, suspend/unsuspend accounts, Upgrade accounts, reset account passwords, and much more.

Accessing WHM
Accessing your WHM is done directly from an internet browser using your reseller's username and password (which will be provided to you once you sign up). An example of how you would login is as follows:

     Login: http://69.72.192.194:2086
     Username: <your resellers username>
     Password: <your resellers password>


Included with every hosting account you create in your reseller plan 

CPanel control panels - for ALL accounts
Every hosting account you create in your WHM comes with it's own control panel. When you create an account, you give it a username and password, and assign limits for things such as storage space, bandwidth, number of POP3 emails, MySQLs, etc. Once you click "Create", the hosting account will immediately be created, and you'll be able to login to the new account's control panel by using the username and password you assigned it.

     Login: http://69.72.192.194:2082
     Username: username
     Password: password

The control panels created for each hosting account in your reseller plan are completely void of any branding. That means that your customers will not know that you are a reseller of ours.... unless you choose to tell them.
