Step 16
We are on the home stretch now, just a few things remaining to be done and then you will be ready to start hosting!
Then next thing to do is to sign-up for the plan we have just created, to do this you need to switch the plan we have just created on for sign-up by clicking the
icon, once you have done this you will see a magnifying glass icon
next to the System Plan link, if you click on this you will then be taken through the sign-up process (this is the same process as when you originally signed up for Altaire, this time however you are signing up to your own company!).
Step 17
If you go through the sign-up process filling in all the relevant details (this is the last time we promise!), pick a new user name for this account (this account is know as the End User account) when you get to the Domain page:
Select the option - Register a service domain - Choose this option to host the promotional website of your hosting company. then click next, on the next screen.
Step 18
You should see in the dropdown box the domain we set-up earlier when we created a DNS Zone. Make sure that it is the correct domain then continue through the sign-up process, once completed you will be automatically logged in to the new account:
Step 19
As you can see from the picture all the screens
are very similar in appearance which makes the whole system very easy to use.
From this login you are able to create all your email addresses and upload your website (either by the FTP Manager or by using your own FTP package using the details in the FTP Manager screen).
The only thing left to do now is to go back to your Reseller account and switch off the System Plan for sign-up, this plan is only used to sign-up your hosted domain. For customer sign-ups you will need to create other plans relevant to what you want to offer the customer, this is done in exactly the same way as earlier, you just don't allow a service domain in the plan and switch on the billing!
To switch off the plan for sign-up go into the Plans section and click on the on icon
on the System Plan line.
Step 20
That's it! You will never need to do most of that again! Just create a plan or two for your customers to sign-up too (if you want them to have there own Control Panel) or if you are managing the domains completely for the customers add the domains to your End User account and away you go!
