This guide will assist in quickly getting your reseller account up and running. Please read the entire guide, from top to bottom and follow all instructions. Everything is clearly explained and all your questions should be answered within this guide. If you have any suggestions (after setting up your account) on how to improve this guide, we would be happy to hear from you.

STEP 1 - Setting Up Your Master Account

Your first step should be getting your Reseller Master Account setup. The master account is the domain that you will use for creating and managing all other domains that you have in your reseller account.

STEP 2- Creating And Managing Accounts

You can create and manage domains by using the Web Host Manager (WHM) software that comes with your reseller package. You can login to this software by going to http://serverip:2086 OR http://yourdomain.com/whm once your domain has resolved.

You must login to WHM and create a package before you can create an account.

STEP 3- Setting Up Email Accounts

To setup an email account, login to Cpanel and follow these simple steps:

- Click [Mail]
- Click [Add/Remove Accounts]
- Click [Add Account]

The next page is self-explanatory. For the email option you would enter a username. Then select a password and set a quota. The quota is the maximum amount of disk space the account can use. The quota field is optional, so you can leave blank.

Now, you will want to access your email account to send/receive emails. To do this you can either use web-mail or an email client. We recommend using Outlook Express, which is included with Microsoft Windows. To learn how to setup Outlook Express, you will need these settings:

Mail Server: POP3
POP3 Server: mail.yourdomain.com (replace with your actual domain name)
SMTP Server: mail.yourdomain.com (replace with your actual domain name)
Account Name: user@yourdomain.com (Use your full email address)
Password: This is the password for the above email account

You can access web-mail at http://yourdomain.com/webmail. It will ask for a username and password to login. The username would be a full email address and the password would be the password for that email account.

Notice: Email will not work until your domain has resolved!
