"Many thanks Ann.

I noticed the swift action on your behalf and now have another happy client and many more to come.

Please pass on my appreciation to the whole team at One World Hosting. I've have used many other hosting services and must say that One World is the best in every way."

SETTING UP A RESOLD: Your First Accounts

 


When you sign-up for a web host account you are already "up and running" as a One World Hosting reseller. We have no special forms or hoops for you to jump through. As a reseller of One World Hosting services you will be providing your clients with the same fast servers, great features, and cutting edge technology that you enjoy as an One World Hosting client.

For the sake of this tutorial, let's say your company name is My Own Hosting and the client you are signing up is resoldaccount.com. All One World Hosting customers get a control panel like the following:

You will use your control panel to administer your own account as well as to add and administer your resold accounts.To add a new account for a client click on the "Add Discount Hosting" button.

When you click on the "Add Discount Hosting" button, the first screen you see is this:

This screen allows you to chose a "Parked" domain or an "Additional" domain. A "Parked" domain is simply a second domain name which points to your main or master domain/account. See Parking a Domain Name for more information on this service. Select Add Additional Domain for buying accounts for reselling.The next screen is the order form. Most of the form is already filled out with details from your own account, but you will need to fill in a few pieces of information:

  1. The domain name of the account you wish to set up.
  2. Is this a new domain name you'd like us to purchase, or an existing name to transfer? Choose either the first or third button (more on this later).
  3. Pick a username (NOTE: usernames must be unique - different from your own main account username).
  4. This area is not currently used - leave blank.
  1. Choose the package - account type you want to buy. See PLANS for details about each Plan type.
  2. Choose the term - monthly or annual. Remember - if you want to take advantage of the Free Domain Name offer you must select an annual term.
  3. Submit your order. The next page will show the choices you've made, and give you a chance to double-check before you place your order.
  4. Within an hour of submitting the order, you'll receive an e-mail welcome letter at the both of the e-mail addresses that we have on file for your master account (you'll see them listed at the bottom of the form). It will be similar to the welcome letter that you received when you ordered your master account. We suggest that you cut and paste from this to create a similar letter to send to your new client.
  5. For Resellers with VNS, Virtual Name Servers:
    If you want to use your VNS for resold accounts you will need to go to the registrar for the resold account and have the nameservers listed changed to your VNS. If your are using your VNS for parked domain names you need to have us modify your account, please open a ticket and make that request: SUPPORT TICKET
    Include your main account domain name and the resold account domain name and request to have your VNS used for the resold account - we'll update asap (domain name changes can still take 24-48 hours to take effect).
