stu Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Hi remembered one of my other quesions :-) I read another post about setting up the first account for the unlimited plans, and that yu are asked for a domain. As I mentioned in my other question, I have some domains on Gearhost (windows server), including my own domain - hybridweb.co.nz This domain will stay with gearhost since it has some asp, and I don't want to rewrite it. So, what options do I have for setting up the master account on TC? Can I ignore it? Can I just use a friends domain - one of the 7 or 8 I will start on TC with? - what are the implications of using someone elses domain as the master one (with their permission of course; I will be technical support of this domain but not the registered owner)? ...stu Quote
TCH-Rob Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 I am not sure how I wold tackle it, it would be like building an apartment complex and then giving every key to every apartment to your friend. To me it would be worth the $10 investment to get stusdomains.com or something so I would have complete control over everything. Your friend could change all of the locks and then lose the keys.

stu Posted February 24, 2004 Author Posted February 24, 2004 Your friend could change all of the locks and then lose the keys. I would most likely be holding the registration info, so it would be me locking him out :-). He will only ever want ftp access to his own site. But seriously, he is the designer I often use on sites, and a trusted friend, but I'll consider that security aspect of it. Am I right to assume then, that the master account gets one user/password that lets them in to the control panel, and also for ftp etc. I guess I can always set up a separate ftp for him. Sounds cheap I guess, but then thats why I'm not looking at $40 hosting. I just don't need another personal domain that I can think of. Quote
stu Posted February 25, 2004 Author Posted February 25, 2004 Okay, just for finality (and I want to get the customary Family welcomes), I've joined with a basic reseller plan. Thanks for all the replies - realised my partner also needed a domain, so that is my master account now. Now of course I have to do some sort of site for her! :hug: Now off to do some real work! (I can stop the researching process and get on wiith some sites that desperately need attention.) ...stu Quote
