When we talk about reseller account, we actually talk about a modification of the cPanel account with additional benefits and accessibility to WHM interface. These additional benefits help the reseller to manage the subordinate cPanel accounts successfully.
A system administrator is able to manage the reseller accounts with the help of WHM. This can be done with the help of the Reseller Center feature of WHM. For accessing this feature you need to go to Main and from there to Resellers and Reseller Center.
With the help of this you can do many things, such as limiting the total number of accounts that you are allowed to own as a reseller. The accounts that a reseller can create with the help of Resource Usage can also be limited with the help of the features in the WHM. The disk space and bandwidth can be limited and when the limit is reached, the reseller cannot create new accounts.
In WHM, it is also specified which packages can be used by the reseller for creating the account. Also the number of accounts a reseller can assign to any package is also limited by WHM.
WHM also provides many privileges to the reseller. These privileges give the resellers freedom to do many things with their accounts as well as their hosting packages. The standard privileges that are provided include the functions such as addition and deletion of the accounts. The package privileges help the reseller make and also modify his or her own web hosting packages. The global privileges are for those resellers who are technically savvy. With the help of these a reseller can view and restart the system services. The super privileges can be accessed by only few resellers. This is because, these provide the resellers with the advantages of modifying the quota as well as the account. Last, but not the least are the root privileges offered by WHM to the reseller. With the help of root privileges, the reseller can access the WHM interface and use all its functions.
