Hi, I have TT system, but, I am getting ’empty’ trouble tickets. I want to know the reason behind this?

Please, check when your end user receives a response to their support request and responds to it not from within H-Sphere trouble ticket center, but through his e-mail client using the Reply option, make sure they place their message before, i.e. not below the ======== CUT HERE ========= quote, otherwise it won’t show up in the body of the trouble ticket message in your trouble ticket center.

Hi,

My Customer, still have got his A/c suspended, he has already changed billing profile.

Well, the Control panel, does not resume accounts automatically. Your customer should have notified you that he has changed the profile now, you need to resume the account manually.

Hi,

I have downgraded my plan, but still account traffic limit is same.

You, didn’t agree to decrease your traffic limit to target plan’s free amount when questioned while swithcing to the plan that provides less free traffic.

I changed my plan, but, upon changing account’s plan I have been charged “Monthly fee for extra N Gb above free Y Gb of traffic”.

The target plan provides less free traffic GBs than account’s traffic limit. When changing plans you refused to automatically decrease your traffic limit to plans free as suggested in the warning message and now you can either has to pre-pay for the allocation difference each traffic month or manually decrease his traffic limit to plan’s free amount.

Hi,
Although I have not exceeded my monthly traffic limit, when changing plan, we were accrued Usage fee for extra X GB above pre-paid Y GB of traffic.

From the start of the traffic month to the time when month traffic limit is changed you ran up more (X GB) than traffic limit prorated to this period (Y GB).

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.
