Getting Started with Reseller Hosting

From buying reseller hosting to selling your first hosting plan and accepting your first customer

Your reseller account includes the OPSPI Reseller Admin Panel for creating hosting plans, managing customers, billing for services, accepting payments, and managing hosting resources.

You can get started in a few steps.

1

Brand Your Hosting Business

Start with Configurations → My Store.

Configure your business name and branding, including your logo, mailer logo, favicon, and store information.

Your branding is used throughout your reseller platform and customer experience. You can also configure your private nameservers for hosting services under your own brand.

2

Connect Your Payment Account

Go to Configurations → Payment Methods and configure the payment provider you want to use for customer payments.

OPSPI supports multiple payment methods. Stripe, PayPal, and Authorize.net are the primary integrations that are fully tested and actively used.

Payment methods configuration

Payments are processed using your configured merchant account, allowing you to bill customers directly for the hosting services you sell.

Start Selling

Once your plans, pricing, branding, and payment method are configured, customers can purchase your hosting services.

OPSPI connects the customer purchase and hosting provisioning workflow:

Customer → Order → Payment → Hosting Subscription → Provisioning

Two Interfaces:
Reseller Admin Panel — Your business, plans, customers, orders, billing and payments.
OPSPI Hosting Dashboard — The customer's websites, DNS, email, databases, FTP, SSL, files and other hosting resources.

Customers receive their own account and OPSPI Hosting Dashboard for managing their websites and services, while you manage the business through the Reseller Admin Panel.

Review Customer Orders

Customer orders appear in Customer Orders, where you can review purchases, payments, line items, status changes, fraud screening, and other order information.

Fraud Protection: Orders are automatically screened using MaxMind risk scoring. Higher-risk orders can be flagged for manual review before hosting services are provisioned.
