Reseller web hosting is similar to shared web hosting in that all of the accounts in a reseller web hosting account are on the same server and share the same resources. The major difference between shared web hosting and reseller web hosting is in the account accessibility.
With a reseller web hosting account, you become the landlord of your account - divvying out server space to your clients. As owner of a reseller hosting account, you are given administrative access to the Interworx control panel. With admin access, you have the ability to create and manage a number of your own hosting accounts (the number of accounts depends on the reseller hosting package you choose). Each hosting account that you create can be set up on its own domain with its own instance of the SiteWorx control panel.As the reseller, you're responsible for creating your own package plans and billing your clients for the hosting that you provide to them.
Nameservers
Resellers are responsible for managing their own DNS records for their web hosting accounts. For this reason, we provide all reseller web hosting accounts with their own custom nameservers. If you already have nameservers of your own, you're more than welcome to use them. The nameservers we give you are provided as a courtesy with your account to ensure you the best usability with your reseller web hosting account.
Custom Branding
Resellers have the ability to skin the control panel with their own company logo or even completely change the look and feel of the control panel completely to meet their needs. The theme system for the control panel is entirely template based so making changes to the look and feel of the control panel is fairly easy for anyone versed in HTML.
Billing Integration
With the control panel provided to resellers to manage their hosting accounts, resellers have the ability to integrate the control panel with several various billing software programs. Though the control panel provided does not employ a built-in billing feature, there are various billing software programs available for integration that would allow for:Automatic Account Creation Automatic Account Suspension Automatic Account Unsuspension Automatic Account Deletetion
