Thumbs up

I have two seperate accounts hosted here.
Both of them are the "power" plan.

Is there anyway where i can have them both combined and control them both as seperate website but have them be one account?

I believe you would need a reseller account for this. It is pretty common for people with multiple sites to purchase a reseller plan to maintain all those various sites.

if your paid in for the year, you might as well keep it..

also with the reseller, you can add as many accounts as you have DNS for, but they both will have different Cpanel's and Different set of ID's and PW's. (so theres really no change as far as gthe user sees)

you should keep it as is.. Thats my advise anyway

I do have to agree with clove here. For just two accounts I think it would be more trouble than it is worth, but if you plan on adding any more in the future, I would go with the reseller.

reseller is good if..

-You want to be able to Support your customers directly
-Want to be able to limit the controls of theyre account (space, emails, bandwith, etc)
-Want to be able to resell space...

Its not good if you have many accounts and want one place to edit them all, as a reseller you create packages and such and assign them to users in that case YOU are surpass. Customers wont even know your on serpasses servers, unless they know how to look and they do therye homework
