Q. Does your Windows Reseller hosting require a static IP address for remote SQL Server access?

Ans. It is not necessary to use a static IP address for remote SQL Server access, you can connect to MS SQL database using our shared server’s IP address from anywhere with any type of internet connection.

Private Nameserver setup for VPS Hosting or Dedicated Server

First you will have to decide what nameservers you want to set on your VPS/dedicated server/Reseller Hosting Account. If you have the domain “mydomain.com” then you can make the nameservers ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com.

2. Open http://IP/whm then go to IP Functions >> show IP address usage & Check free IP over there or choose your primary and secondary IP Address.
You will need to register nameservers first from registrar end. Login to your registrar’s domain control panel and register the name server or ask them to register the private name server for your domain.

-ns1.domain.com - the Default IP Of your server
-ns2.domain.com - Secondary IP or free IP

Exception : In case if you have just one domain and you have set that name server for your other server and you want to use ns3.domain.com and ns4.domain.com name server for this server then you will have to set the dns for it from the dns zone file of domain.com if you have WHM then you can go to the server where this domain is resolving then open WHM >> Edit a DNS zone >> select domain from the list >> Edit at the end just add this line
ns3 In A First_IP
ns4 In A Second_IP

or if you are using shell then you can simply append following lines there in

# vi /var/named/domain.com.db
ns3 IN A First_IP
ns4 IN A Second_IP

save file.

# service named reload

# rndc reload domain.com

3. http://IP/whm >> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup

Scroll down to Primary Nameserver ns1.domain.com & Click on “Assign IP address” and then “Add an A entry for this name server”

Similarly for Secondary Nameserver ns2.domain.com Click on “Assign IP address ” and then “Add an A entry for this name server”

4. Once all done you can check if your nameservers have started resolving or not from
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=ns1.domain.com&type=A
Once you see the assigned IP address there then it means that the name server for your server are set.

Create new account from your WHM and now you will just need to point your site from your registrar end to these nameservers ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com if you want to resolve your site from this server.

Q. How do I set-up hosting accounts once my reseller hosting account is created ?

Ans. After your Reseller Hosting account is created, your main account will have it’s own Control Panel CPanel/WHM, just like all the other web hosting accounts you’ll create for your customers. However, the difference between your main account and all the other accounts, is that your main account will be given Reseller Privileges. You will have your own reseller interface called Web Host Manager (WHM) which is what you’ll use to manage your web hosting business: create hosting accounts, set storage space and bandwidth limits, suspend/unsuspend accounts, and much more.

Set-up Web Hosting Packages

While creating packages, you’ll want to decide exactly what you want to provide in the web hosting plans you want to sell. You’ll have to decide things like:

* How much storage space and bandwidth to allocate to each account.
* How many email accounts to allocate to each account.
* How many FTP accounts, Parked domains, Subdomains, Addon domains, and MySQL DBs to allocate to each account.
* How much are you going to sell your web hosting plans for.

Once you’ve decided all these factors, you may login to your WebHost Manager and setup packages. Packages make creating new web hosting accounts much quicker and convenient, because you’re essentially pre-defining all the above variables, so that you only have to choose a package name when creating an account.

Here is a short review of Whoiscart and some details of its configuration and installation :

Whoiscart is a great billing software for web hosting companies and resellers.

For a program costing around £20 Our customers had superb support from the whoiscart team. They do offer an install service for extra $12.50, but in fact installation is straightforward as long as you remember the FTP in binary.

Configuration can be a bit tricky if you are new to web hosting and installation of online softwares. Whoiscart support is superb and they provide top class service to let you have a running whoiscart setup.

The cart can be set up to sell web hosting only or link directly into one or more registrar’s account for domain registration.

Account creation in whoiscart is automated, and whoiscart can address multiple WHMs.

Integration with PayPal may be tricky - you must use the primary email address on your PayPal account. However, the problems are minor and one should create a debug file and Sandbox will get everything setup for autocreation.

PayPal’s IPN manual may make you wonder if you are up to it, One should not forget that the notification URL which would be forwarded to paypal should be .php only. If it is .html then change it to .php.

Integration with other payment processors like 2checkout, worldpay or authorize.net is as simple, and you can choose from several and use as many as you want to.

Whoiscart is a well featured program with premium support at a budget price.

Q. I want to run two or more websites which would have their own individual control panel? Do you have any hosting plan which I can use in this case.

Ans. For individual control panel access for each of your hosted websites, our Reseller Hosting and VPS Hosting plans would be perfect for your requirement. You can create unlimited accounts with individual control panel access under your Reseller Hosting/VPS Hosting plan. All of our Linux VPS Hosting and Linux Reseller Hosting plans come with cPanel/WHM control panel. WHM allows you to add, create and manage unlimited number of accounts and hence you can host multiple websites with dedicated control panel access for each of those websites. This however doesn’t mean that you cannot host multiple websites on our cPanel Hosting plans. Multiple Domains Hosting feature is supported on cPanel Hosting plans in the form of add-on domains. An add-on domain is a new domain that is added on top of your main domain. It creates a sub directory within your main web hosting directory but can show a different website.

Q. I wish to transfer my domain to you prior to purchasing a reseller package because I want this to be the main account domain.

Ans. You can certainly transfer your domain name to our registry and use it as the primary domain name on your reseller hosting plan with us. At the time of ordering your hosting plan, all you need to do is select the option “Transfer my Existing Domain name“. This would allow us to initiate the domain transfer request for your domain name. In this case an automated domain transfer request is initiated and your domain name is received under our registry along with 1 year renewal. Your hosting account would be setup in a maximum of 25 minutes but domain transfer may take 24 - 48 hours. Our support staff will assist you with transfer of your client accounts to your hosting plan with us once set-up so you won’t need to worry too much about the data transfer for the accounts either.

Q. Does the enom reseller account enable me to sell domain names?

Ans :- You can purchase and sell as many domains you want from your enom reseller account.

Q. How to create multiple accounts using WHM?

Ans. WHM is the admin control panel for web hosting resellers. Through WHM you can administer your VPS/Reseller account and all of its accounts, you can create accounts from WHM >> Account Functions >> Create Account. Before you create an account on the server, you should create a “package”. A “package” determines how much web space, bandwidth, mailboxes etc, your customer can use. You will usually offer your customers a choice of several different packages to choose from. To create a package, login to WHM, then using the menu on the left, and click on “Add Packages” under the “Packages” heading.

Once an account is created you can login into cPanel for that particular account using http://IP Address:2082 (IP Address = Actual IP address of the server) or http://www.domainname.com:2082. cPanel is a user control panel where users can administer their account and hosted websites. Using cPanel clients can also add FTP, MySQL and e-mail accounts.

Q. Do I need to transfer my domain prior to purchasing a web hosting package?

It is not necessary for a customer to transfer his/her domain name to our registry with a web hosting plan. If you wish to keep control of your domain name through some other registrar, choose the option “I will update my nameservers only” option at the time of hosting package order.

If you wish to transfer the domain name under our registration then choose the option “Transfer my Existing Domain name” at the time of hosting plan order, as that would allow us to initiate a transfer request for your domain name. Automated requests are initiated in that case and your domain name is received under our registry along with 1 year renewal. Your hosting account would be setup in less than 30 minutes but domain transfer may take 24 - 48 hours.

Our support staff can assist you with transfer of your accounts as well so you don’t need to worry much about the data transfer part.

Q. Do you offer a free trial on Reseller plans?

:- We don’t offer free trials on any of our web hosting services but we do offer a 30 day money back guarantee where-in you can cancel your account and initiate full refund if you are not happy with the service or support you are receiving.
