Going to become a reseller, have some questions.

[ewestern]

Ok, first I plan on getting a reseller account in the near future. I want to target different groups for hosting.

1. Am I correct in assuming that WHM can support a large number of packages, like 10 or more?

2. I want a different web site for each targetted group. Can I can I use WHM and WHM_AP with multiple web sites? If not, I do go about doing this?

3. WHM_AP sets up everything a customer wants automatically, even registering domain names, regardless of where I am, correct?

Thanks.

Correct.

I am not sure. Chat support should be able to answer this question.

Correct.

even registering domain names

Be advised you need a enom reseller account to do this which requires a deposit/bank of $100 if you use a credit card/paypal. Money orders or wire transfers can be less and avoid a service charge, but are not credited immediately. So basically if someone signs up with a new domain, the money is taken out of this deposit, you have to restock it when it gets low.

Ok, I wasn't sure if it would work with both domain name options hostgator offers or not. I was planning on going with the domain reseller account.

More questions:


Can I get a reseller account with a dedicated server?

Can I use the auto pilot with a dedicated server?

Can I resell the space on the dedicated server and give others WHM and Auto Pilot for their sites?

Thanks

I think dedicated servers come with WHM and can get WHM AP.

I just realized why I wasn't getting any responses to my first question, the one I needed answered the most.


It should read: Can I get an enom reseller account with a dedicated server like I can with the reseller packages?

Yes. You can.

Don't you have to be careful when using enom due to fraud and the like? I was told to try and avoid it.

I was told the same when setting up enom with WHM AP.

[ewestern]

Have you guys had any problems with that?

There is a possible problem with fraud. If someone places a fraudulent order, you would not be able to keep the money that was charged to the credit card. If you automatically purchase domains through enom, you cannot "unregister" a domain; therefore, you would be stuck with a domain that you don't need.

Fortunately, if you are using PayPal, they have a very low rate of fraud. The danger is always present though. This is why some people prefer to manually register domains after they at least contact the purchaser via telephone to verify the order.

I wait 24 hours after payment is recieved before I order domains.
