Pre-Sale, need help!

Hello!

 

I wish to make a hosting company where I first of all only sell shared hosting and reseller hosting.

 

I will lease a dedicated server from another company.

 

So, these are my questions:

 

What is the difference between WHM, WHMCS and cPanel?

 

Basically this is what I want:

 

1. I log in, make hosting packs, choose how much they can use and their priviliges, etc.

2. People enter my site, they purchase either reseller hosting or shared hosting

3. If purchased shared hosting, they will get a name and pass instantly, (they can also register domain), after that they log into cPanel (as that is what most users want) and then the normal things a end-client can do on basically like any other host, such as hostgator.

4. If purchased reseller hosting the reseller can create a site where he promotes his reselling and a panel so he can control reselling.

 

What software fits my needs? Basically all I want is the same software such as big companies like HostGator have, since they have admin and reseller hosting and shared hosting.

 

Is WHMCS and cPanel the right things for me? Can everything be automated?

cPanel is the Control Panel to control the end-user hosting options (ftp, email, MySQL, etc)

WHM is the admin panel to setup the hosting and access all customer cPanel

WHMCS is the invoicing system that connects to WHM

 

Just about everything can be automated and from what you have specified can all be completed
