Reseller Hosting F.A.Q.
What is Reseller Hosting?
Reseller hosting provides you with the ability to create individual domain name based hosting accounts that will use the space and bandwidth of your main account. You remain in complete control by setting the amount of space and bandwidth each hosting account you create can use.
How Can I Benefit with a Reseller Account?
Webmasters, web developers, web hosts and anyone with multiple websites. You can host many websites under one account which makes a Reseller account ideal for selling hosting account services from. A single low monthly cost secures your full reseller account.
What is Private Label Reseller Hosting?
Private label means that your hosting identity is seen by your hosting clients and not ours. Should you wish to start your own hosting company by using one of our reseller hosting accounts, or if you are a web developer wanting to boost your revenue by hosting your own client websites, all traces of Netports are removed so that your customers will see only you. We accomplish this by providing you with your own nameservers, and as a further no cost option, we can also brand your 
cPanel™ control panel system with your name/logo.
Will I get my own personalised nameservers?
Yes. This will take the form of ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com. Personalised nameservers are delivered as standard with Failover Reseller Hosting. With Budget Reseller Hosting these need to be specifically requested but can be set up free of charge.
Do you provide technical support with Reseller Accounts?
Yes, absolutely - but only to you, not your hosted domains. You should be reasonably proficient in all areas of website hosting or at the least be willing to learn. You will be committed to providing your own support to your customers. If you don't know much about hosting yet still want to increase your business revenue by hosting your own sites, take a look at the Hands-Free cPanel Reseller system over at cPanelReseller.com.au
Do I need to pay you every time I add a new hosting account?
No. You will all ready be paying a month fee for your reseller account. This is the only payment required. You can keep adding new hosting accounts for as long as your space, bandwidth and hosted domain limit allows and each one is at no cost.
How Do I Manage My Reseller Account?
All reseller hosting accounts come with two separate control panels. WHM (WebHost Manager) is the administration control panel and cPanel™ is the end user control panel.
Web Host Manager (WHM) allows you to completely manage your full website hosting system. Some functions you can perform with WHM include:
- Create hosting plans with the space, bandwidth and feature list of your choosing
- Upgrade, suspend, modify or terminate your hosting accounts
- Ability to limit hosted accounts disk space. Bandwidth, emails accounts
- Choose your hosted accounts cPanel™ theme
- Change accounts users' passwords.
- Check server status.
cPanel™ is designed for the end user allowing them to manage their individual accounts which include:
- Create, remove email accounts, forwarders, autoresponders.
- View website statistics with AWstats, Webalizer or Urchin.
- View account information such as bandwidth usage, server status.
- Manage domains, subdomains, and parked domains.
- Manage and create MySQL databases.
- Add, remove FTP accounts.
- Use advanced tools such as cron jobs, hotlink protection.
- Access to pre-installed scripts such as Fantastico.
How long do you take to set up a Reseller account?
A reseller account will take between 24 to 48 hours to be set up and delivered. We do not "production line" reseller accounts like some hosts. Each reseller account is set up and thoroughly tested and signed off on by a systems technician prior to delivery.
Do you allow overselling?
Yes, Absolutely we do. And the reason why we allow overselling is simple - WE DO NOT OVERLOAD OUR SERVERS, so there is no reason why we need to impose measures to prevent you from using the space and bandwidth you've paid us to use!!
Space and bandwidth you have paid for with each Netports reseller account is 100% REAL and waiting there for all your hosted accounts to use. All reseller account usage is calculated on the TRUE space and bandwidth actually used by all hosted domains and NOT from the hosting plans a reseller invents.
Make no mistake, this means a cPanel reseller account from Netports allows you much greater profit earning potential and is one of the main reasons why our reseller hosting services are the infrastructure behind some of Australia's most successful web developers, webmasters and web hosting businesses.
Can my Reseller account have a SSL cert?
Yes. We can easily handle this for you. The setting up of an SSL is slightly different between Failover Reseller and Budget Reseller accounts. Please contact us.
Will you shut me down if I go over my limits?
No, of course not. But you will be expected to upgrade to the next higher plan or pay for the excessive resources used.
If you have any questions about our reseller hosting packages, please feel free to contact us with your question.
