Getting Started as a Reseller

• Setting up your Virtual Nameservers
• Modifying your client's Control Centers
• Adding New Accounts

Setting up virtual nameservers (OPTIONAL)

You do not need to use private nameservers, but the option is there for you. This will enable your own nameservers to appear in a "WHOIS" lookup. Our nameservers are deliberately generic so you are free to use them for your resold clients.

If you would like to set up the private nameservers, here's how to get started:
- Click on the "Virtual Nameservers" icon in your Control Center and follow the directions to create your primary and secondary nameservers.
- IMPORTANT: these nameservers are not live until you register them with your registrar! Each registrar has differing procedures for setting up new nameservers (sometimes referred to as host records) based on your domain name.
- Once registered (allowing time for propagation), you can assign your client's domains to your nameservers when registering or moving their domain names.
- Note that registration of your nameservers at the registrar can take several days, and is usually a longer process than registering a regular domain name.

Modifying the Control Center

Until you add your first resold account you will not be able to customize the resold account Control Center. When you have resold at least 1 domain, you will see a section at lower left called "subdomains". Click any one of these and the next screen contains instructions for modifying your Control Center. You can decide what text/logo to display (like your company name instead of ours!), color scheme, and more.

Adding new accounts

Clicking the "Add Domain" button gets you into the order form for either parked or new accounts. When entering a new account, keep in mind that you as the reseller will be billed for the fees. Account setup is instant if paying by credit card - you will have the resold domain account information in just a few minutes after ordering! Your contact and billing information will show in our records - we do not need or want to know the end user's information. After all, you are our customer, not your client!
