a few simple questions about reseller plans

[toastedhost]

I have some questions I hope someone can answer before I take the hosting business plunge...

(1) Is EVERYTHING included with the "Aluminum Plan" that's included with the other reseller plans or is there some hard to find "fine-print" somewhere?

(2) I saw the Private Name Servers option but I did not see a Dedicated IP option for reseller accounts. Is this only available for the Dedicated Server Plans?

(3) For the FREE Enom Domain Reseller option I noticed that there is an $8.95 fee per domain registration. Is this fee taken off the top each time a Domain Name is sold through a reseller account?

(4) In the WHM DEMO there are Missing WHM Features/Options. (I think the demo needs refreshed also...kind've a mess in some areas)

Are the following included with an actual Reseller Account WHM?


in "Cluster/Remote Access"
- Configure Cluster ...is missing in WHM DEMO

I don't have a reseller account but keep in mind you don't get root witch means i doubt you will get access to restart the services

The only difference in the five (actually 6) reseller plans is the disk space, bandwidth and price.

Private name servers and dedicated IP are different things. If you need (e.g. private SSL), you can order dedicated IP addresses at $2/month.

Everything you typically need as a reseller is in WHM. Some of the items you mentioned like restarting of services require root access and therefore aren't available.

For SSL install (if you need it) you will need to contact HG support for SSL installation.
