Reseller Central Startup Guide

The first thing to do is login to Reseller Central and create a new package as your main domain is not yet added to a server. Once you create a package with the necessary limits for your main domain you can begin creating your first account. When creating accounts in Reseller Central you can choose where you want to have the domain name located, so after entering your domain, username, and password you can choose where you want your account created and which package you want it to use.

Note: we recommend adding your main domain in a separate location from your clients in cause there is an outage in one data center your clients can still contact you.

Create Packages

1. Log in to your Reseller Control Panel at http://cp.hostnine.com
2. Click Add Package, to begin setting up a new package
   Note: now there are a list of default packages pre-configured for you to choose from (Small 1GB Disk 20GB Bw, Medium 5GB Disk 100GB Bw, Large 10GB Disk 200GB Bw, Super Unlimited) for quick account creation.
3. Continue with package creation steps
4. After you create your first package click Create a New Account to setup your domain
5. Choose the package you just created from the next page
6. Once your account is created login to your domain registrar and set the nameservers to the nameservers listed in Reseller Central
   Note: those name servers are apart of a DNS cluster so it's very important that you use them as listed.

Upload Your Website

1. Begin uploading to your account now by using a FTP client or the File Manager
2. If you are using an FTP method simply put in your sites IP address under the host field and use port 21
3. Once you're connected upload your files to the public_html folder
4. To replace the default place holder page you must upload an index.html, or index.php in all lowercase lettering (file names are case sensitive with Apache so this is crucial).
