Reseller hosting is a popular way for web designers, developers, and entrepreneurs to start their own web hosting businesses. With reseller hosting, you can sell hosting plans to your clients and manage their accounts from a single control panel. In this guide, we will show you how to set up your reseller hosting account in WHM (Web Host Manager), the control panel for reseller hosting.
Step 1: Choose Your Reseller Hosting Plan
The first step to setting up your reseller hosting account in WHM is to choose your hosting plan. Unique Hosting offers a range of reseller hosting plans with different disk space, bandwidth, and other features. You can compare plans on our website and choose the one that best fits your needs.
Step 2: Set up Your Account in WHM
Once you have selected your reseller hosting plan, you will receive an email with your account information, including your login credentials for WHM. To access WHM, log in to your account on Unique Hosting's website and click on the WHM button.
When you log in to WHM for the first time, you will be prompted to set up your account. Follow the steps in the wizard to enter your company name, contact information, and other details. You can also customize the appearance of WHM with your own branding.
Step 3: Create Hosting Packages
After you have set up your account in WHM, you can start creating hosting packages. Hosting packages define the resources and features that your clients will have access to. For example, you can create packages with different amounts of disk space, bandwidth, and email accounts.
To create a hosting package, go to the "Packages" section in WHM and click on "Add a Package". Enter the details for the package, such as its name, disk space, bandwidth, and other features. You can also set up custom branding for the package if you wish.
Step 4: Create cPanel Accounts
Once you have created your hosting packages, you can start creating cPanel accounts for your clients. cPanel is the control panel that your clients will use to manage their hosting accounts.
To create a cPanel account, go to the "Account Functions" section in WHM and click on "Create a New Account". Enter the domain name and other details for the account, such as the username and password. You can also select the hosting package that the account will use.
Step 5: Manage Your Clients' Accounts
With your hosting packages and cPanel accounts set up, you can start managing your clients' accounts. You can use WHM to manage your clients' email accounts, databases, backups, and other features. You can also suspend or terminate accounts if necessary.
To manage a client's account, go to the "Account Information" section in WHM and click on "List Accounts". You can then select the account that you wish to manage and access its cPanel control panel.
Conclusion
Setting up your reseller hosting account in WHM is a straightforward process that can be done in just a few steps. With your hosting packages and cPanel accounts set up, you can start selling hosting plans to your clients and managing their accounts from a single control panel.
