  • Do I have root access?
  • Do I have SSH access?
  • How do I setup reseller accounts?
    R:
    To setup your own reseller accounts you need root WHM 
    access on your server.
    
    1. Setup the domain using the 'Create a New Account' link 
    (under 'Account Functions'). The resource allocations here DO 
    NOT define allocations for the whole reseller account, only 
    that individual domain. The username and password entered 
    will be the login details for this resellers WHM panel. You may 
    wish to setup this domain using a dedicated IP address from 
    the drop down menu on this page.
    
    2. Next, click the link marked 'Reseller Center' (under 'Server 
    Setup). Here you must first 'Add Reseller Privileges' for this 
    account using the first drop down menu. When done, go back 
    to 'Reseller Center'.
    
    3. If you want this resellers setup accounts to use a different 
    shared IP address, select the reseller from the drop down list 
    under 'Manage Reseller Main Shared/Ipless Ip' and select the 
    shared IP which will be used for their accounts.
    
    4. Next we setup the reseller privileges by selecting the 
    reseller from the drop down list under 'Edit Reseller 
    Privileges/Nameservers' in the 'Reseller Center'. You can 
    define how many accounts they are able to setup along with 
    the total resource allocations for their whole reseller account. 
    In the tick boxes you can setup what their WHM has enabled. 
    We recommend that the following boxes are ticked:
    
    Allow Creation of Packages with Unlimited Features
    Allow Package Edits
    Account Creation
    Account Modification
    Account Suspension
    Account Termination
    Account Upgrades
    Add Domains
    Add/Remove Packages
    Allow creation of packages with Addon Domains
    Allow creation of packages with Parked Domains
    Bandwidth Limiting Modification
    Delete Domains
    Disallow creation of accounts with packages that are not 
    global or not owned by this user
    Edit DNS Entries
    Edit MX Entries
    Enabling/Disabling FrontPage Extensions
    Enabling/Disabling SubDomains
    List Accounts
    Mail Trouble Shooter
    Never allow creation of accounts with shell access
    News Modification
    Park Domain
    Password Modification
    Quota Modification
    Reset Shopping Cart
    Resync Ftp Passwords
    View Account Bandwidth Usage
    View Account Statistics
    View Server Status
    
    5. At the bottom of the page you should set the nameservers 
    which should be used by default when this reseller sets up 
    accounts. When done, click the button marked 'Save' (DO 
    NOT click any of the buttons next to the nameserver boxes).
    
    6. You may wish to change ownership of this resellers account 
    to the user. This can be done using the link marked 'Change 
    Ownership of an account' under 'Account Functions'.
    
    7. If this reseller has private nameservers, set them up using 
    the 'Edit a DNS Zone' link under 'DNS Functions'. Select the 
    main reseller domain then click the 'Edit' button. At the 
    bottom where DNS records can be added, enter 'ns1' (without 
    quotes) in the far left upper box and the IP address for ns1 in 
    the first empty text box to the right. Repeat this process for 
    ns2 in the row below. When done, click the save button.
    
    This reseller account is now setup. Remember, the reseller 
    must create their nameservers (if applicable) using the 
    nameservers and IP addresses setup in their DNS zone in 
    step 7.
