Anyways, here are the standards to reseller accounts:

Main Account - a free account paired with your purchased reseller package. The main account is to host one domain, which is the domain you signed up with, which will host your main/portal website. This is to allow you to resell 'all' of your reseller package's quoted space and bandwidth. The account comes with the same storage amount as the reseller plan, but just 10gb bandwidfh (for the main 'free' account only).

Reseller Account - the package you paid for, which has all the storage and bandwidth specified on the package. This is designed to be the full amount to resell, while the main account houses your main website without that site taking up any space of your reseller account (thus, you can resell 'all' of your reseller account's space/bandwidth)

Hopefully that helps out abit. And, the addon domains are 0 for the main 'free' account, but unmetered (all you need) for the actual reseller account. You can create custom nameservers via WebHost Manager control panel, just make sure you have those domain servers (created at your registrar) pointing to the given domain names or IPs.

I hope I could help abit. If your still confused, I'll try not to further confuse you.
thanks,

that clears up a lot!

However, are we given 3 parked domains like what twirp says?

Ed -

As I've stated before, if you are or not does not matter. I do know that your free main account includes any addons, but does include 3 parked domains (I just checked my most recently created Reseller account).

But since this account is hosted on the same server as your reseller, it does not matter. You could create a 1mb account in your WHM to be your 'DNS' domain, and that would solve the problem entirely. I would not use a parked domain for DNS, because parked domains direct to your actual domain.

NOTE: As far as I can recall, the "free main" account is now restricted to 5gb space, 10gb bandwidth.

Glad you found what you've been looking for. If you have any more questions, be sure get back to us, or Surpass, since they ARE the company :P

Yeah, had to post this before Kayla did.
