it can be a bit challenging to new comers. But we guarantee

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.
