Hi,

I have read in the Management Announcements, that Resellers can create blacklist, but how?

Use blacklist controls in your CP to add/delete/edit a domain. For this, go to Settings->Blacklists->Domains in Blacklist, enter either the full domain name or a domain name with a wildcard (e.g. * .smth. com) into the text box, and click on the corresponding button.

How can we create the blacklist for the emails?

Use blacklist controls in your CP to add/delete/edit an email. For this, go to Settings->Blacklists->Emails in Blacklist, enter either the full email or an email with a wildcard (e.g. @smth.com) into the text box, and click on a corresponding button.

hi,

Can anyone please, explain how can I access my reseller account?

Yes sure, follow the following steps:
1. Open your ‘new account notification’ e-mail.
2. Click the given CP URL to get directly to your H-Sphere Control Panel login page.
3. At the login page enter your login and password provided in the e-mail.
4. Enter the control panel by clicking the Login button.

I think in the past 2 years the reseller hosting was quite popular and People started their own businesses. But now, not quite sure. It seemed like more people know how to run the servers and they tend to rent a dedicated server to start off the business.

What do you think? What’s the trend of reseller?

In general, the average web hosting customer is more web savvy than they were 5 years ago. I have been in this biz for over 5 years now (ya, a lifetime in internet years), and the average customer thesedays is much more savvy on DNS, domain names, transfers, etc.

As far as running their on servers, most are still not knowledgeable enough to do so.

There has been a huge increase of resellers – mostly down to the ease and low cost of looking like “your own host”.

The market for resellers looking to progress (for us) is now swinging to fully managed VPS – the step below a dedicated. This gives resellers the ability to have “root” and learn DNS, creating reseller accounts, handling ip’s, installing software etc – but knowing that if they break anything we are on hand to fix it or give advice.

Reselling is still a popular way to house multiple accounts for developers.

It is much cost saving to resell hosting than start your own. Currently, there are many competitions out there being service providers and I believe that 80% of them are resellers.

The cost of these unmanaged dedicated servers has gone down significantly which has opened up possibilities for many web developers and entreprenuers to run their own web servers.

There is no doubt that the VPS market is making some headway but I don’t see it as coming close to replacing the traditional reseller shared hosting market just yet. Perhaps with time that like anything in our business will change but currently traditional shared accounts are still strong.

I am a Reseller web host. Webalizer doesn’t work for certain users.

Plz. help

One possible reason could be that the user has reached the disk quota or there is no disk space left on the server.

Webalizer statistics doesn’t update for certain users.

How can i fix it?

This might be due to a frequent Windows server reboot. Webalizer processing log files for this user is interrupted and when it is lauched next time, it starts processing the same log files for that same period.

My client has enabled webalizer, but when he tries to access it through http://domain.com/webalizer/ he gets the error: “Forbidden, You don’t have permission to access /webalizer/ on this server.”

This can happen if you set a directory index in the root folder to something other than html, shtml etc. You can either put the index.html on the end of the url, or put a htaccess file in the webalizer folder setting index.html as the directory index.

My users can’t send e-mails, and get the error “553 sorry, that domain isn’t in my list of allowed rcpthosts”

To fix it, do the following:

1. log into your mail server as root;
2. stop qmaild:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmaild stop
3. backup all needed files in the ~vpopmail/etc directory;
4. delete the directory ~vpopmail/etc:
# rm -rf ~vpopmail/etc
5. create it anew:
# mkdir ~vpopmail/etc
6. copy backed files to this new directory;
7. empty the file ~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp:
# cat /dev/null > ~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp
8. start qmaild:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmaild start
