Step 9
This section will enable your customers who are transferring a domain or buying a new domain to have instant access to there Control Panel and also let them test the domain before DNS has updated. Click on the Submit button.
Step 10
Now go back to the E. Manager menu and this time click on the Server Aliases link:
Step 11
On the page that loads there are 2 submit buttons, these alias all our reseller servers to your hosting servers names and creates the DNS Server Aliases click on both the submit buttons in turn (don't worry if some of the servers don't create, these are servers that have been retired from the system), it is advisable to check back to this page regularly and submit as we are always adding new servers to the system.
Step 12
So that is now all the DNS set-up and ready to go! Now all we need to do is create a System Plan, this is what we sign-up your hosting domain to and where you upload your wonderful new hosting site! To do this go to the Info menu then click on Plan creation wizards.
Step 13
For the System Plan you need to use either the Unix plan wizard or the Windows plan wizard depending on your preference, for this example we will be using the Unix plan wizard, there are some differences between each but only very minor things!
To start the wizard click on the relevant select icon
Step 14
The first thing we need to do is give this plan a name, as this plan is only going to be for your main site account (and any personal domains you want host yourself or any customers domains that you manage completely) it is probably a good idea to name it System Plan.
The resources you add for this plan are really up to you, each have a description of what they are which you can get by clicking the help icon
, the only things that you need to remember is to make sure you check the box for are Service Domain which allows you to add your hosting domain and also Without billing as you don't want to charge yourself!
We wouldn't recommend adding everything as there are some things that you don't need and if you suddenly do find that you need something six months down the line, don't worry, you can make changes to plans at any time and they update every user signed up to it! Once you are happy with your selections click the Next button.
Step 15
In the next screen you get a list of Quotas and sizes
for the resources, we would recommend the following:
Summary traffic: 10GB
Disk space Quota: 1,000MB
Summary Disk Usage: 1,000MB
Mailbox quota 100MB
(this is for each mail user not for the whole plan!) but you can obviously set them to whatever you wish, If you have added databases to this plan then for the quota start at 100MB you can always change it later. Once you are happy with your selections click CREATE System Plan.
