Reseller hosting packages provided by almost every company offer customers various services in their own
name. In this way, the reseller is able to provide custom web hosting plans (with custom prices), sell domain names, create and delete new user accounts and generally manage every detail regarding various aspects related to web hosting. The profit earned is not shared with the company that sells the reseller hosting packages.

The management of a reseller hosting account is performed through a software platform corresponding to the type of web server. In case of Linux based web servers, the most popular application used to control the reseller accounts is WebHost Manager. It allows the setup and management of new customers accounts, the monitoring of bandwith usage, selling of domain names and more.

If you need a remote connection to your resellers accounts, SERVXX is a tool that interacts directly with WebHost Manager and cPanel. As a consequence, you will be able to manage the WebHost Manager control panel for all resellers remotely. Practically, the PHP script will make a certain number of sub resellers accounts corresponding to existing resellers.

The administrators have rights to create or delete sub resellers, create or delete resellers packages, brand the server with the purpose to hide the real hosting details and others. The users can list, create, edit or delete accounts, manage web hosting packages and perform other simple tasks, such as showing server status.

The script requires PHP (Apache web server) and a MySQL database. The installation process has only a few steps: you will have to create a MySQL database and edit the file var.php situated in the inc directory from the distribution archive in order to specify the administrator user name and password. In order to install it, SERVXX can be downloaded from here.
