Adding a reseller

Resellers are accounts that are able to create end user accounts. You can set how many accounts a reseller can create, as well as set the number of resources (disk space, bandwidth, domains, etc.) a reseller has in total. The resellers, as he or she creates new accounts, can assign resources from the total amount.

To add a reseller:

  1. Enter the account's domain in the Domain field.

  2. Enter the account's user name in the Username field, and the account's password twice in the Password and Confirm Password fields.

  3. Select the account's IP address from the IP Address drop-down list. For most new accounts, leave this on the default option.

  4. Enter the account's nameservers in the available fields, if required. If left blank, the nameservers will default to the default details set up for the server - refer to Editing your server setup for more information.

  5. Enter the number of accounts and domains that the reseller can use in the Account Quota and Domains Quota fields.

  6. Click on the Custom Quotas tick box is you want to give the reseller custom quotas. Custom quotas allow the reseller to add quotas on email accounts, databases etc., outside of plans. If this tick box is not ticked the reseller can only create an account with set plans. If the tick box is ticked the reseller can set custom limits by going in and individually assigning limits for each resource. This allows the reseller to oversell their resources.
