Looking for Help Regarding Reseller Accounts
I’ve built a number of affiliate websites using Wordpress templates. I’ve also purchased a number of themes with a view to offering websites to small local businesses. It wasn’t my intention to offer services to others until I’d gained more experience, but a friend has his own business and has asked if I can build a web site for him. So I’ve said yes!
He just wants a web presence and the ability to add content. He doesn’t want to get involved with domain name registration and hosting. He also wants an e-mail address in the format of support@domain.com.
All my sites are hosted on the same account. Should I be hosting his domain on a new hosting account or should I open a reseller account? If I open a reseller account, do I have to give him access to cPanel or can I just give him a username and password for his site, and set his access role to editor? Presumably I can set up the e-mail account and link it to Outlook?
What’s involved with running a reseller account? For example, I understand that I’ll be buying an allocated amount of disk space and bandwidth which I’ll have to allocate and offer as plans to clients. But what is a sensible size to offer? How can I learn more about this? I know Hostgator have a guide but you only get it once you’ve signed up and I’d rather know more before deciding what to do.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Amanda
