Creating
Accounts 
From
the main Reseller panel , click the "Create Accounts" icon.
Above
is an example of how this form is filled out. Each item will now
be discussed in detail.
Username
The
username must be four to eight characters long and can contain only
letters or numbers. Please enter the username all in lower-case
letters. The username is what your customer will use to sign into
their control panel, access their main FTP account, sign in with SSH (if
you choose to allow it), and upload with FrontPage. Many web hosts
allow their customer to choose the username, and this option will
usually appear on the host's signup form.
Password
The
password needs to be a minimum of five characters, and should include a
variety of letters (both lower- and upper-case) and numbers. Many
web hosts allow their customer to choose the password, and this option
will usually appear on the host's signup form.
Domain
This
is the customer's domain name. You do not need to enter the
"http://" or the "www." All domain extensions
are supported: .com, .co.uk, .ca, .com.au, etc.
User
Package
A
package is a combination of features (packages are also referred to as
hosting plans). Before creating a hosting account, you must create
at least one package first. Please visit the tutorial on packages here.
In the above example, we created a packaged called
"newpackage" beforehand and then selected it for our customer
at this screen.
IP
This
is the IP address that the customer's site will be hosted on. You
may select any IP address from the dropdown list.
If
your Reseller account was created with the ability to use the server's
main IP address, you will see the option "IP - Shared -
Server."
If
you have several IP addresses assigned to you, you may select a free IP
address for your customer. Please note that the IP address won't
be in the list next time, as it is now owned by that customer. You
can, however, make the IP address "shared" by accessing the
"IP Assignment" feature from the main Reseller menu.
Send
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.
Customize
The
Customize button allows you to edit package features for this customer
only. Click the button only after you have entered all the
customer's details in the above fields. When you are finished,
click the "Submit" button.
Account
Creation
After
you click "Submit" you should see a screen that looks like
this:
You
may enter comments about your customer in the textbox or leave it
blank. Clicking "Save Comments" will bring you to the
customer's account screen. You may also move to another part of
the control panel or exit the control panel if you wish. Clicking
"Save Comments" is not required to complete account creation.
