Reseller Hosting — Getting Started

Reseller hosting lets you create and manage hosting accounts for your own customers.

How It Works

1. You purchase a reseller plan with a set amount of disk, bandwidth, and accounts
2. You create individual hosting packages for your customers
3. Each customer gets their own cPanel login
4. You manage everything through WHM (Web Host Manager)

Setting Up

1. Access WHM: Go to your server URL on port 2087 or use the WHM link in your dashboard
2. Create packages: Define disk, bandwidth, and feature limits
3. Create accounts: Assign a package to each customer account
4. Brand your panel: Customize logos and themes in WHM

What Your Customers Get

• Their own cPanel account
• Email, FTP, database management
• File manager, backups, SSL
• No access to WHM or other accounts

White-Label Options

• Custom nameservers (ns1.yourdomain.com, ns2.yourdomain.com)
• Custom cPanel branding
• Your own support contact info

Managing Resources

• Monitor usage in WHM → Account Information
• Set limits per package to prevent over-allocation
• Suspend/unsuspend accounts as needed

Tips

• Start with a plan that matches your expected customer count
• Over-allocate moderately (not all accounts use full resources)
• Automate billing with a system like WHMCS
