This can make a big difference in how your clients view your business in terms of reliability and trustworthiness. Thankfully, this is very easy to set up, as per the steps detailed here.

3. Change the features available

Now that you have your own branding set up, you will want to pick the feature set that you offer your clients. Ultimately, these are the features that you may need to assist your clients with, so you can pick and choose what you want to include. Configuring the Feature Manager won’t take you more than a few minutes by following these steps.

4. Create a package

As you will be dealing with clients of different sizes and with different needs, you will want to be able sell your own hosting packages with different quotes for disk space, monthly bandwidth, number of email accounts and so on. Creating your own custom packages is a breeze, and these steps will show you how to do this in just a few minutes.

6. View Disk/Bandwidth Usage

When you have a few clients set up, you may want to keep an eye on their disk and bandwidth usage. This will allow you to ensure they remain within their quotes and avoid any disruption to their service, but can also present you with upselling opportunities. Viewing this information in your Web Host Manager (WHM) is very straight forward.

5. Suspend/Unsuspend an account

Sometimes, you might find it necessary to suspend one of your client’s accounts. In this situation, a click of a button is all that is needed, and when you want to bring them back online, another click will do it. Visit this KB article for the steps.

7. Manage multiple accounts at once

One of the many great features of the Reseller Hosting package is that it allows you to manage multiple client accounts at once. This makes your workflow quick and smooth, allow you to get back to what is important – running your business. See the steps here.

8. Take backups of an account

One of the golden rules of hosting content online is… ‘Backup backup backup!’ Did your client accidentally delete all their emails when setting up their new iPhone? Or maybe you need to reverse back some changes you made to their website? Whatever the reason, having full backups of the important content on your accounts will save heartache and frustration if something goes wrong. Check out the steps in this article to see how to back up the different parts of your client’s information.

9. Force a password reset of an account (or change password)

As you will have likely heard on the news or read online, hacking and fraud attempts are becoming more common and more sophisticated. This means your passwords and your clients password need to be secure (the longer the better) and changed regularly (we recommend every 6 months). You can opt to change your client’s passwords on their behalf, or you can set it so that they will need to reset their own password on their next login.

10. Delete an account

Finally, as time goes on and businesses close down and change providers, you may wish to delete an account under your Reseller Hosting package. As you might guess from the above, this too is an easy process and a couple of clicks will see the job done. Before deleting an account, we recommend backing up the contact for your client (see point #8) just in case they need something restored.
