Creating
Resellers 
From
the main Administrator menu, click the "Create Resellers"
link. You will see a page that looks like this:
Username
This
is the Unix username of the Reseller. It must be 4-8
letters/numbers long and contain no illegal characters.
E-Mail
This
is the e-mail address of the Reseller. It is the address where
account notification will be sent, as well as being the default e-mail
address in the Reseller's control panel.
Password
This
is the control panel password for the Reseller. Please use a
password with a combination of letters (both upper- and lower-case) and
numbers.
Domain
This
is the domain name of the Reseller's web site. Because a Reseller
is also a User, he/she must have a web site. Enter the domain name
without the "http://" or "www."
Package
Select
a pre-created package for the Reseller. See the help section on Reseller
packages for more information. If you want to customize
package features for this Reseller only, click the "Customize"
button at the bottom of the table, after you are finished filling out
the information in this table.
Domain
IP
Select
"Shared - Server" or "Assigned" from the dropdown
menu. If you choose "Shared," the Reseller's web site
will be name-based and have the same IP address as the server. If
you select "Assigned," the Reseller's web site will have its
own dedicated (static) IP address, assuming at least 1 IP address is
set as a feature in the Reseller Package.
Send
E-Mail Notification
Check
this box to automatically send the customer their account details by
e-mail. You can click the "Edit User Message" link to
customize the e-mail content.
Important:
To
change the "From:" address of these welcome messages, switch
to your User panel and go to the "Statistics" menu.
Then, enter the appropriate e-mail address in the "E-mail"
field.
After
making changes, click the "Save." button. You may
restore the message back to its original content by clicking the
"Reset to Default" button.
After
you Click "Submit"
After
you create the Reseller account, you will be taken the the account
confirmation screen, as pictured above.
As
you can see, there was one error in the creation. The Reseller was
supposed to receive 5 IP's, but only 4 have been allocated to his
account. A quick check of the IP Manager menu will reveal that
there are no IP address left on the system, so the Reseller received as
much as possible. (The number of IP's allowed to a Reseller is
setup in the Reseller packages.)
At
this point, you may exit the control panel or navigate somewhere else
within the panel. You do not need to click the "Save
Comments" box unless you want to leave a note on the Reseller's
account (only Admins can read the comments).
