Creating the Service Plan that will run
your Reseller (Corporate) Web Site.
You must create a "service plan" in H-Sphere
to host your own personal/business website that will service
your hosting account.
- Click on INFO on the Left Navigation
bar
- Click on Plan Creation wizards
You will now see this in the center of your screen:
- Click on "Select" button at
the right next to Unix Plan Wizard.
You will now see this screen:
For Plan Name use "Service Plan"
For Service Domain make sure you check the "Include" box. (highlighted
in RED)
Scroll Down the screen and check any boxes for plan
resources you will need for your Service domain.
Make sure you do not activate a resource you do not
need such as Site Studio or Frontpage. This may cause
problems later if you do not intend on using these tools.
Always set billing to "Without billing", especially
on your Service Plan. There is no need to set billing
until you have your merchant account or gateway setup
in H-Sphere and setup client plans.
Setting billing to anything other than "without billing" on your
service plan is pointless unless you plan on charging yourself.
- Once you are satisfied with your plan
settings click the NEXT button
You will now see this screen:
You may set your traffic, space and mail quotas
according to your needs. NOTE: "Mailbox Quota" is
the default size assigned to a mailbox when it is
created.
- Click on the "CREATE Service Plan" button.
You will now see this in the center of your screen:
Notice the Service Plan's Signup access is turned to
OFF by default.
- You will need to
turn ON your Service Domain to sign yourself up to
use your new plan.
Click the 
button
to turn it 
.
- Now you are ready to Signup for your
Service Plan:
Click on "SIGNUP" in the left navigation bar:
You will now see this screen:
- Click on the "SELECT" button
to the right of Service Plan
In a new browser window you will see your H-Sphere
signup screen:
- Click the arrows
to
proceed through the Service Plan signup.
- Choose to ACCEPT the END USER LICENSE
AGREEMENT.
Click the arrows to
proceed
You will now see the Contact Information screen:
Fill this form out accordingly. Remember: You
are simply signing up for your own service plan.
- !IMPORTANT! At
the email prompt, do not use an email address containing
your domain. You will not get any setup info if you do.
Use your "home" ISP address or email domain
that is not currently using any of your reseller services.
ie., email@bellsouth.net, email@earthlink.net, email@aol.com
etc..
Click the arrows to
proceed
- Enter in a username and password for
this domain (This CANNOT be the same as any other login
you may have entered in this system)
Click the arrows to
proceed
- On the Domain Information screen make
sure you choose to Register a Service
domain as highlighted below in RED.
Click the arrows to
proceed
- The next screen will have your Service
Domain listed in the drop down box. Select this domain.
Click the arrows to
proceed through to the end of the Signup Script.
- Your Done!
You will now have a received an "End User" version
of the Welcome Email.
Follow the Instructions in the new Email sent to
you to upload your files and to gain access to the
USER Control Panel for your Service Domain. You can
create or modify FTP and sub-FTP accounts in each
user panel.
It is also wise to turn the Service Domain Plan
OFF in the ADMIN Control Panel after you are done.
!IMPORTANT!
Keep in mind that all temorary
URL's and shared IP accounts will not work until
your Nameservers have been registered and have
propagated across the internet.
