Reseller Accounts

[kaseytraeger]

Hi all,

 

I have a question about reseller accounts, but the forum for reseller accounts is password protected, so I decided to post my question here. If the moderators need to move it, please do so.

 

OK, so here are my pre-sales question regarding reseller accounts.

 

I currently have one domain name and a very small web site that is still under production. I will be purchasing another domain name soon and will be setting up a web site for that domain as well. A few of my family members have expressed an interest in having their own web sites, too, and I would like to help them do that by hosting their web sites. So what I need to know is if a reseller account will work for me. Am I allowed to host two of my own web sites on the same reseller account?

 

Also, my current domain hosting fees aren't due for renewal in May. If I purchase a reseller account now, do I move my current web site to the reseller web space now, or do I wait until May? Will TCH handle the transfer of the "pointer" to my web space from the current web space to the new reseller web space so that when someone types in my domain name, they will be routed to the new reseller web space?

 

Basically, I want to know the logistics of how the domain transfer (if possible) will happen and also want to be clear of what I can and can't do with a reseller account.

 

Thanks for your time,

Kasey

You can have an unlimited number of domains in a reseller account. From the way you described what you want to do, a reseller account would work great for you. I have several of my own domains on my account (although I've upgraded from reseller to a dedicated server, but it can be done just fine in a reseller account).

 

The only real restriction on a reseller account is the bandwidth and diskspace. You just need to make sure all of the combined domains do not exceed the reseller account's limits.

 

TCH can better answer the migration questions.

Glenn...that part would lead me to believe that according to the AUP, Kasey would need to go with the reseller account.

 

Also, if the family members put content other than "family purpose" content on the subdomains you suggested, they would be walking a fine line.

 

Just my thoughts, though...
