Hi
I'm experianced in HTML/Flash and web design, but not that experianced in other programing languages that serves web hosting websites.
I some questions about the resellers plans
Do I need to program my website, or dose the website come ready with the plan?
If so, can i set up my own design and prices?
Will i be able to accept credit cards/paypal payments?
Thanks, hope to hear from u soon
You need to build your own website, but it can be flash/html, you don't need a powerfull hard coded smart
website to sell hosting, just create your web pages to show your info, packages and prices for your
customers and get their attention
If you are worried about the management of the hosting accounts and server resources, you will be
provided with both web control paneles, one for your end users, and one for you (the reseller).
These control panels have all the power to manage your client accounts easily and completely.
you will get Cpanel (users) and WHM (reseller) if you get a linux reseller plan (
www.cpanel.net)
or you will get HELM if you get a windows based reseller package.
To get payments, you need buy a solution elsewhere, like
http://www.PayPal.com or
http://www.2checkout.com, or lot more. They offer a complete and ready to use infraestructure so you can get payments from all the world inmediately.
Then, if you want a billing/automation software to bill and manage your customers, you can buy
http://www.clientexec.com or
http://www.modernbill.com, or just try
http://www.phpcoin.com for free.
Just a start point, you can start building a simply website to catch customers, setup paypal to get payments, and create a excel to control the payments :-D
Then you will improve from time to time, setup a support tickets system to give help desk to your clients, live chat, or whatever you want.
good luck with your business
