Question Mulitiple Domains

I have several domains, and I want them completely, truly separated; ie. with separate cpanels, not add-ons to a main domain. This is because I have admins that I want to access cpanel functions for some domains, but not for others. (for example, I don't want admins for one of my business sites to be able to access the cpanel for my personal blog or my wife's personal blog). So my question is: Is there a way to run multiple separate domains from a single account, or will I need mulitple hosting accounts?

Also, I was wondering if I can set up a reseller account even though I don't plan to resell hosting, and dole out my multiple domains/accounts to myself that way.

A reseller account would be best for this. Once you have it setup you will access the *main* domain account for this reseller, so make sure the main one is one you won't be giving cPanel access to admins, and you will go to WHM (WebHostManager) from this account. There you can create a package that will be say 1 GB space, 5 GB bandwidth, etc. And you'll create a new account with that package, giving it it's own username and password to cPanel. Also from the main account's cPanel you'll be able to access the other accounts under your reseller by simply using the little dropdown menu at the top of cPanel.

You need to have a reseller or dedicated account.

Yes, I have resseler account. When I going to cPanel I use

http://gator377.hostgator.com/cpanel

and when I use

http://gator377.hostgator.com/whm

this link is converted to

http://gator377.hostgator.com:2086/

and ended with timeout 8-(

Where is a problem? Is the link OK?

Thank

No.
You need Reseller or Dedicated Server for WHM access.
And no you will NEVER get it on Shared, So no point in ticketing it.

Here I may change (set) only one MX record? It's a problem.
Now, on my current DNS server, I have set seven MX records and four CNAME records. Is possible manipulate with standard set of DNS records? If isn't, then is hosting on hostgator unusable for me 8-((

google apps works even if you specify one MX record,

however you can ticket support and ask them to update all 7 MX Records to point to gmail servers, specify all required nameservers with mx priority when you request it.

If you want multiple MX records you can submit a ticket to support and ask them to modify your DNS Zone. Just provide the records you need added.
