Hey all!

Been a while since I have posted! But I need your professional advice now on the very common issue of hosting.
My current provider is absolutely superb but I am after some more features on my existing reseller package that they cannot supply.

I want the feature to upgrade my created CPANEL accounts to have various privileges so I can create a partner reseller account to manage his own CPANEL accounts. Also, it is possible to create additional admin user names so that my partner can access my account without my login details. I have been told CPANEL cannot do the multiple login account per account feature I wanted... can anyone clarify this.
This would be handy If I am away and he can deal with one of my clients issues. Is this done through creating privileges on an account in WHM? I have been reading up on it recently and it is a feature I need, rather than me giving out my login details and him creating a new reseller account. I would rather it all managed within one master account.


I have also been told this giving custom privileges to accounts is only available with VPS hosting.
I am after CPANEL controls as i am used to this;I am after at least 10GB of space;I am after at least 30GB of bandwidth.
I am open to cloud reseller hosting also but this is probably not essential for me just yet.I will also be wanting SSL certificates set up on my website. I heard that a 'wildcard' certificate is best if you want all subdomains covered. Would this include logging into webmail and cpanel? Also would this mean if someone accessed my site without the 'www.' that I would need a 'wildcard' certificate? How would I then offer my existant clients SSL Certificates on their sites that I host? Is it just a case of purchasing a new Certificate or are there multi-certificate options for resellers such as myself? Just to clarify, I am not a reseller as such. I just offer hosting for clients I design for rather than selling hosting as a service.
How would you guys resolve these issues?

Cheers all! Loves ya, Jay :p x

There are a few web hosts who post here regularly and offer Cpanel accounts - have you contacted them for some ideas?

Our UK-based hosting servers run cPanel.

I bounced your above question to our support and they've come back to me confirming what your host has told you. cPanel does not have the ability to host sub-reseller accounts under your cPanel/WHM reseller account.

Your best bet is to get a VPS and host your own cPanel, or go for a host that offers a juicy affiliate pay-out on a reseller hosting recommendation. :)

Cheers
