0 - HSphere Introduction

HSphere is a multi-level, multi-platform Control Panel with complete billing and support integrated into it. JodoHost supports both the UNIX and Windows hosting platforms that HSphere offers. That means as a reseller you can create plans and resources on both our UNIX and Windows servers. As a reseller you must also understand that there are 3 primary Control Panel levels in HSphere:

1) Reseller Account CP - This is the control panel you as a reseller will see when you first login into your reseller account from https://cp.myhsphere.biz. It allows you to see basic information about your account, upgrade/downgrade. change your account's contact details as well as manage your billing information with JodoHost. Everything in this CP pertains to your relationship with JodoHost

2) Reseller Administrative CP - This is the control panel through which you manage your hosting business. It allows you to set up your name servers, hosting plans, merchant gateway, support, billing, etc. It also allows you to manage all your customer accounts and signup requests.

3) End-User CP - This is the CP through which each of your customers can actually manage their website from. Here customers can setup websites, mail boxes, databases, etc.

The Reseller Admin CP doesn't allow resellers to host their own personal websites. You as a reseller would need to signup for one of your hosting plans as a customer in order to setup your personal websites and access the end-user CP. Hence, ensuring you follow all the steps in this guide are crucial before you can begin hosting any domains.
