time problem

i had search this forum for a long time and it seem the service is very good provided from the hostgator. i will mostly buy a reseller a/c and before that i need to clarify something before process to gator.


1. the time problem ? because i live in australia, the time zone is different from the server actually location. so if i want to do some function with time, for example, get the current time, do i need to do modify for myself ? if this is true, can i use the whm for to do the server-wide modification?

2. for the reseller a/c, discounted enom registration is provided. if i want to host a service for my clients to find and maybe register for the domainname, is this possible to do it in a "automatically" way? (i mean, can i write some script to integrate with the enom service, or api)?


thx a lot

There is no way to change the time server wide on a reseller account..

Hostgator provide WHMAP to their reseller customers so you can use automatic domain registrations (http://www.hostgator.com/autopilot.php)

Thx Sam,it delighted for me to receive the reply so fast.

in my first question, in more specific, can i change the time setting of all the account under my reseller a/c in whm ( it should say that "reseller account-wide", not server-wide). sorry to my poor presentation

thx a lot

No, you cant change the server time for your accounts in WHM.. i dont think you can change it at all

No you can't. It shouldn't matter though coz most scripts these days have a time function built into them
