Help! Newbie Questions! :)

[rockyou]

I want to do the following:

 

1) Have the ability so people can register domains and hosting.

2) Provide them with web design services for their hosting they buy.

 

Do I need a dedicated server for this?

 

Or can I just buy like a reseller package or virtual dedicated?

 

if so, where should I get it from, what company?

 

I am looking for something hassle free, I only want to build them websites and get paid monthly from them.

 

I already have WHMCS, looking for some advice.

Firstly you need to decide what services you want to offer . Ideally you want a reseller package if your new to hosting .

It depends on your Budget and also if you want the reseller account to be in your home country or you happy to look oversea for cheaper offers i.e. USA

 

i would recommend a hosting company in your native country because of speed and support wise

Start with a reseller account.

Get an account with a domain name registrar - WHMCS offers free accounts with Enom or DirectI

Configure hosting packages in the reseller account.

Configure WHMCS to talk to the reseller account.

Configure WHMCS for the hosting products, domain names and the design service products.

Skin your website look and open the doors!
