Reseller Hosting Overview
Offering
Technical Support
Becoming a reseller is quite easy in the web hosting industry. The hardest
part of offering web hosting services is to offer complete and
comprehensive support. The first thing that must be done is to have a
complete web hosting support guide accessible to your clients day or
night. We allow our resellers to use our support section in their own
company names. Simply copy our support section, change the colors and add
your logo.
Name
Servers
The next step would be to brand your web hosting company. Name servers are
used to direct a domain name to a network. The name servers are used to
call the domain name to the particular server that the account is hosted
on. Most companies will give you their name servers. Indiadns allows you
to create your own in your control panel under the name server icon. When
you click on the icon you will have the ability to create your name
servers on our network under your own name like so:
NS1.YOURNAME.COM
88.888.888.88
NS2.YOURNAME.COM
99.999.999.99
Once you
create your virtual name servers, you will need to register them just as
you do for your domain names. If you purchased your domain name through
Indiadns, you have been issued a control panel specifically used for
domain name management. Log into your domain name control panel and do the
following:
1. Click on
the domain name that is associated with your name servers. Example:
indiadns.net = ns1.indiadns.net.
2. Click
on "Manage Child Nameservers"
3. Enter in
NS and the IP address and then click on "Add Name Server." Do this a
second time and add NS2 along with the second IP address.
Your name
servers should be working within 24 to 48 hours. If you did not
register your domain name through Indiadns, we suggest you contact your
registrar for instructions. You are not required to use your own name
servers with Indiadns. You may use our name servers for yourself and your
client base.
Customizing Control Panels
The next step in branding your company is to offer control panels to your
clients with your information on them. Once you have added a new account,
that account will be listed on the left hand side of your control panel
under the "Additional Accounts" heading. Simply click on one of those
accounts and make changes to your control panel. You only have to do this
once and the changes will be made for all of your resold accounts. You can
add text, images and color to the header.
Billing
System
As you are building your web site, you will need an billing system to take
orders for your web hosting services. Indiadns offers a free most popular
billing system WHMCS with most of its Reseller Plans. As soon as you get
the license key of the billing system you can install it on your website
and start taking the orders from it. You will need to customize the
billing system according to your needs, for more details on the WHMCS
billing system just log on to
