“Reseller Central”- The Reseller Hosting Control Panel from Hostnine

by H9Jen on September 14th, 2010 Leave a comment

HostNine LLC recently launched Reseller Central v3.0 which seems to replace WHM control panel completely, the interface is intuitive where resellers can manage all their domains across multiple cPanel servers, the Reseller Central has been designed to work very well with a clustered solution, it automates server management tasks for server administrators and reduce overhead by simplifying complex tasks and allowing customers to manage their own accounts easily.

You can easily consolidate all of your domain from one centralized control panel and with specific Location Choice, it enable you to choose the location where you want the account to be located.

Reseller Central is a complete web host management system that perform essential tasks quickly, easily, and smoothly. It provide the ability to create ‘remote’ order systems so that one installation can manage multiple host websites, all with their own identities managed by a single admin area installation.

Customer Domain Accounts Management:

* Configure Accounts
* Edit Account Information and Features
* Limit Bandwidth and Disk Space Used by Accounts
* Upgrade and Downgrade Accounts
* Transfer Domains between Servers

Backups and Transfers:

* Automatically Backup Customer Accounts/Server Configurations

View Server Information:

* Disk Space and Bandwidth usage
* CPU, Memory, and SQL usage

Mr Ben Gabler, Director of Operations at HostNine said. “We have spent the last six months developing a solution that will allow our customers the freedom to host all their domains from one centralized interface without having to login to multiple control panels,”

“If a reseller wants to host all of their accounts in Texas, there are so many nodes in each location the chances of them ending up on the same node in the same location are slim to none,” said Gabler. That way if there is an outage on a node it does not affect the reseller’s entire account, only the domains delegated to that node. Reseller Central acts as a centralized management layer on top of an infinite amount of servers distributed throughout data centers around the globe.
HostNine can add additional nodes to any location at any time.

Reseller Central software can automatically update itself and your server’s software. This allows you to stay on top of the latest technology and security fixes. Its interface provides you exclusive control over these automatic updates and allowing you to disable them if you wish.

Shared Hosting Services

by H9Jen on September 7th, 2010 Leave a comment

The shared hosting service remain the first choice because shared hosting is extremely cost effective, the prices are typically low as compared to other plan because you’re  sharing the services of the server with a number of other websites.

Also the shared hosting plan would be the best for those who are just starter and have limited budget or who do not want to get involved in more technical aspects of running their own server. This type of hosting is best suited to personal websites, blogs and small business websites.  With cpanel shared hosting account, you can be able to run your own website in minutes because once your domain name pointed towards a web hosting account, you can easily upload files and manage your email accounts – typically with user friendly “control panel” cPanel.

Also in case you’re unhappy with your current hosting provider or simply you’re looking for the lowest prices for shared hosting alongwith helpful management tools, you should try out to find a reliable hosting provider such as Hostnine.com which have solid reputation and who can provide you superb service and unique features. Although With so many choices around, the options for hosting companies seem confusing however depending on your priority such as if you are looking for UK server try out to find out hosting company that provide “UK domain” registration alongwith other extension and having UK-based technical support. You should expect dynamic support and fastest network in the UK with 100% uptime connected to the Internet with highly redundant network from UK data center. In addition you will need rapid response technical team totally committed to delivering the best.

In addition, it is important that the hosting company you choose should also offer VPS Hosting and Managed Dedicated Hosting services because as your business grow and you start looking at what hosting services or plan you can add to get better performances, it would be easier for you to upgrade your service if your host provides its core line of Web Hosting Plans and not just limited for shared hosting plan. Your host provider should guarantee optimum performance and should take on the responsibility for managing Servers, installing server software and providing security updates and various other facets of the hosting services especially when you need to expand and get a bigger plan.

If you are expecting to sell a maximum of 5 to 10 items online, you might be fine with a small hosting account however if you are expecting to sell hundreds of items per day you will definitely need a larger account like dedicated server since you will need a secure connection for financial transactions.  A secure connection enable your website address with https before it so that your customer should feel secured while providing important information like credit card while making payment.

To create a secure site you’ll need dedicated IP and SSL, or a Secure Sockets Layer certificate, which will be installed on your website for a small fee once you have meet the terms with the requirements for the certificate.

For processing and managing financial transactions on your web site t you will need payment gateways by which you can deal with your financial transactions and direct your customers to them for payments. There are many payment gateways are there like PayPal 2checkout, Moneybookers,Google checkout which you need to set-up on your site for getting the payment from your clients.
