Getting Started
When you sign-up for a web host account you are already "up and running" as an 123CheapHosting reseller. We have no special forms or hoops for you to jump through. As a reseller of 123CheapHosting services you will be providing your clients with the same fast servers, great features, and cutting edge technology that you enjoy as an 123CheapHosting client.

For the sake of this tutorial, let's say your company name is My Own Hosting and the client you are signing up is resoldaccount.com. All 123CheapHosting customers get a control panel like the following:

You will use your control panel to administer your own account as well as to add and administer your resold accounts.

To add a new account for a client click on the "Add Domain" button.

When you click on the "Add Domain" button, the first screen you see is this:

This screen allows you to chose a "Parked" domain or an "Additional" domain. A "Parked" domain is simply a second domain name which points to your main or master domain/account. See Parking a Domain Name for more information on this service. Select Add Additional Domain for buying accounts for reselling.

The next screen is the order form. Most of the form is already filled out with details from your own account, but you will need to fill in a few pieces of information:

  1. The domain name of the account you wish to set up.
  2. Is this a new domain name you'd like us to purchase, or an existing name to transfer? Choose either the first or third button (more on this later).
  3. Pick a username (NOTE: usernames must be unique - different from your own main account username).
  4. This area is not currently used - leave blank.
  1. Choose the package - account type you want to buy. See PLANS for details about each Plan type.
  2. Choose the term - monthly or annual. Remember - if you want to take advantage of the Free Domain Name offer you must select an annual term.
  3. Submit your order. The next page will show the choices you've made, and give you a chance to double-check before you place your order.

Within an hour of submitting the order, you'll receive an e-mail welcome letter at the both of the e-mail addresses that we have on file for your master account (you'll see them listed at the bottom of the form). It will be similar to the welcome letter that you received when you ordered your master account. We suggest that you cut and paste from this to create a similar letter to send to your new client.
