If you are new to reselling, I am, (I haven't even got a site up yet), you are most likely looking for automated account activation similiar to what Surpass has. I certainly am, and I want it cheap too, because this is a new start up venture.

I came across PhPManager www.http://www.phpmanager.com

It is low in price and seems to do all that I would need at this stage of my new venture. There is some controversy on some of the hosting forums, this appears to be related to the buy-out and failed support during the turnaround transition. V2 is suppose to have been released and support improved.

I am posting this because I believe Surpass could benefit by offering this product to their resellers. I found the following PHPmanager agent info, so I hope a Surpass forum monitor forwards this to the owners of Surpass. Due to Surpasses own tech support, it would be easy for Surpass to install this with a reseller account for a small fee... What a time saver! Plus it can only help differentiate Surpass as a superior company providing better reseller solutions to their reseller clients.

phpManager is seeking agents to market phpManager -- Designed specifically for web hosts. phpManager will make your company more efficient, leaving you more time to provide better service to your clients. The aim of phpManager is to provide a cost-effective, full featured client management system essential to running a hosting company. phpManager includes features such as Auto-Account creation, theme support, multiple language support, billing, trouble ticket support as well as offering a client control panel for your clients to modify their accounts.

Agents will receive up to 30% commission and are not required to carry any inventory or provide technical support of any kind. A typical sale of phpManager might be a single domain license valued at $59.95. A reseller share of this sale would be up to $17.99, depending on how much of a discount you pass on to the buyer as incentive to purchase from you. With our Hosted Solutions your recurring revenue on a typical monthly account could be up to $5.39/month.

Agents are required to advertise phpManager on a website and to provide an online demo of phpManager to potential customers. Agents must be able to accept payment by either credit card or Paypal.

Agents will be listed on the phpManager website with graphic links to your website. There is a limited number of reseller slots available. (Not available in some areas)

We used that for about 10 months. Now we use http://www.whmautopilot.com

In our opinion so far, WHM AP is much better and we can offer licenses if you inquire to salessurpasshosting.com

There is also a post around here somewhere... I will make a new one.

My research say WHMautopilot is a much better program.
And I did send a email 2 weeks ago to sales and they said they had plans for something in the future, but nothing now.

BUT, the price of WHM AP is still too steep for a startup reseller.
Either purchasing for $150 now or $200 after 9/1
Or leasing at $20 a month (a better option for the new reseller).

Keeps adding up. I'm using the "Silver plan" so that would cost me $40 a month for both the WHM AP lease and the Silver pkg. Yet I have no business yet. Well I have one account, I activated my first paid account yesterday

I would like to find something for around $10 a month or purchase for $30-40. Then in 3 - 6 months upgrade to a superior product like whm ap.

If anyone is using something in that price range, please post here.......

That was more than 2 weeks ago. :-) We have licenses available now, check the reseller board here on the forum.


Then you said, "BUT, the price of WHM AP is still too steep for a startup reseller.

If you want to make money, you need to spend money.

We can lease it for $18 a month. We can give you a license for $140.

Hope you don't mind but I edited your topic. Instead of,

Cpanel-interated Hosting Management Solutions

it is now,

WHM Integrated Systems, PHP Manager, Auto Pilot

Will be found better in searches of the forum... as all of our topics are modified that way. Hopefully someone will find this that can help you out. Be sure to subscribe to this topic so you will get any alerts on replies.
