A reseller plan gives you something a normal hosting account doesn't: WHM, where you create and manage cPanel accounts for your own clients, each isolated from the others.
Getting in
| 1 |
Go to https://yourdomain.com:2087 — note the port 2087, which is WHM. Port 2083 is the normal cPanel.
|
|
| 2 |
Sign in with the reseller username and password we sent you when the plan was activated.
|
|
First thing to do: create a package
A package is the template of limits you'll reuse for every client — disk, bandwidth, mailboxes, databases.
| 1 |
In WHM, open Packages → Add a Package.
|
|
| 2 |
Give it a name your clients will see on their invoices, and set the limits. Keep them inside what your own reseller plan allows — you cannot give away more than you have.
|
|
| 3 |
Save. You can create as many packages as you sell.
|
|
Creating a client account
| 1 |
Account Functions → Create a New Account.
|
|
| 2 |
Fill in the client's domain, a username and the contact e-mail, and choose the package you created.
|
|
| 3 |
Create. cPanel sends the client their access details automatically.
|
|
Day-to-day
| 1 |
List Accounts — see everything you host, log in to any account, suspend or unsuspend.
|
|
| 2 |
Modify an Account — change a client's package when they grow.
|
|
| 3 |
Terminate an Account — permanent, and it deletes the client's data. Take a backup first.
|
|
|
What is yours and what is ours. You are responsible for supporting your own clients — they are your customers, not ours, and we don't deal with them directly. We support you: server, network, and anything above the reseller account.
|
|
Selling more than your plan allows? Overselling is possible in WHM but risky — if every client used their full quota, the server would run out. Only oversell what you can honestly cover, and upgrade when your real usage approaches the limit.
