The ban on CHAT scripts is for 'community scripts'. I think that a 'one at a time' chat might be ok. I'd check with support before installing it though.

You might try making mydomain.com a general account, with a link to webhosting, bringing the user to mydomainhosting.com, and then the NS would be mydomainhosting.com :hrrm:

You can do that.

Surpass will permit you to have an ADDON to the main space in many cases. So, for example, you want to have your site dedicated to the beautiful Jessica Alba, and you figure that it will use 4-6gb per month. You could do that as an ADDON to your hosting site, which will likely never use more than a few GB per month unless you have a massivly graphics heavy site.

basically.

You can have Surpass set your custom DNS servers to whatever you like almost.

So, lets' say you have this busy personal domain, but it only uses 4gb or so of transfer every month.

You also want to resell hosting.

So, you set up your "Main Domain" to be your personal domain (i.e. carcollectors.org ). Then you have surpass make an ADDON to be the 'hosting company site'.

The reason to do it this way is because you'll more likely make subdomains and such in the "personal" domain, and Cpanel can do this automatically for the main domain. Doing so for the 'addon' is more difficult.

So, the 'personal domain' becomes "public_html" in your account, and the hosting company becomes "public_html/my-hosting-company"

Does that make sense?
