Get Started with the Reseller Program

How to get started as a Reseller:

Most resellers start with our basic Reseller Hosting plan. Once your account is established (verification by Website Source billing department usually takes no more than 1 business day), you can immediately start reselling your own web hosting services at any price you see fit.

The Plesk 7 documentation and video tutorials will help you to get started quickly. Download the GETTING STARTED guide (.pdf format).

Anyone can be a Reseller. Follow these Steps to begin:

Order the basic Reseller Hosting plan or the Reseller Plus Hosting plan.

Review the documentation and video tutorials.

Next, login to your Reseller Control Panel. From there you can setup your own hosting plans and add hosting accounts for your friends and clients.

Setup your Virtual Nameservers (optional). For those prefer to skip this step, you will need to use the following:

Plesk Reseller Nameservers:
Primary:ns10.websitesource.com
Secondary:ns11.websitesource.com

If you are not familiar with how to edit the DNS of a domain, please refer to these video tutorials which explain how to edit DNS entries at some of the more popular registrars.

Require complete anonymity? Please complete this online form so we can we can mask your reseller identity at the control panel level (optional). This way, when your customers login to their control panel, they will see your company's name in the URL, and not Website Source. Otherwise, your clients can login to their control panel here: https://plesk1.websitesource.com:8443/
