New Reseller- Help reqd in managing WHM/Cpanel




Posted by Nitin, 04-26-2003, 05:41 AM
I just bought reseller account on Linux with WHP/Cpanel. I am Win covert- so dont know much about Linux. In Win, I used to create accounts and those accounts had power to add new domains. As I understand, I can only add domains(tld) from WHM? Our scenarios is- I control 3-4 sites of my own(personal). My employee controls 10-15 sites we host. So, I want to make two accounts- one my name and one employee name. My employee should not be able to see what is hosted under me. How do I do that? Also, WHM will not allow to have one username for multi sites. If my employee manages 15 sites, he will have 15 usernames? Ridiculous. In win, we used to enter name@domain.com. I dont want to give him WHM password. (In windows - we had Hosting Controller- It allowed to do that)

You'll need 2 seaprat WHM accounts to be able to separate your personal domains from your employee's domains. You can't separate them from the 1 WHM account.

So that means I will need 2 reseller accounts? It cant be done in one resller account?

Yes, for what you want to do, it will take 2 reseller accounts. You want to manage your domains in WHM and you also want your employee to manage the other 15 domains, without accessing your personal domains, in his WHM account.

Yes that's right, each domain has its own username. Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux.

As, Aussiebob says you need two reseller accounts to handle this. The reseller accounts under WHM/CPanel do not have the provision to create sub accounts to separate your domains from your employee's domains.

There is at least one reseller provider who posts on this board who allows the resellers to create reseller accounts - which would solve your problem. However, I can't remember the name, might be worth have a search around.
