Cpanel Questions

[cleonard]

I have a couple of Hsphere accounts and looking to expand into some other ventures with Cpanel. I've read all the boards and still fuzzy on some things. If current users or Alan or anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

1) I've read that my user name is shown to my clients when they login to the control panel, however I don't see that on the demo. Which is it?

2) If I wanted to buy a new skin, could you install it for me?

3) Is modernbill still supported on the servers? I thought it required curl compiled into php. Maybe I'm wrong.

4) What is the advantage of having my own name servers by special request if the cpanel.nocspeedx.com still shows up in the control panel for my clients. Am I missing something?

5) True? Clients can have their own IP if they need it for SSL? Do you have to install the SSL and at what cost.

6) If I don't want to host my "service domain" (sorry don't remember what cpanel calls it) on the cpanel server is that any big deal? Any ill effects?

7) I want to feed about 3 different targeted hosting companies into one cpanel account. Is that a problem? In other words I'll have fishhosting.com for the fisherman, truckhosting.com for the truckers sites and teachershosting.com for the teachers sites. Any problems logistically or programically in doing that?

8) Kinda along the same line, via the control panel or anything else, do my customers see the domain name of my "service domain"? If I have three targeted hosting domains, then I probably want to pick a generic name for cpanel's purpose.

Thanks so much for your help.

Modernbill is still supported on the Cpanel servers, as that is what we use for billing for Cpanel customers.

Modernbill needs to be configured to use the CLI curl module however, if I am not mistaken.

I have no idea what that even is. All I know is it works for me on the 1st of every month.

thank you gang . . . how about the other questions?

1) I've read that my user name is shown to my clients when they login to the control panel, however I don't see that on the demo. Which is it?

It is listed, as well as the server name.

2) If I wanted to buy a new skin, could you install it for me?

I don't believe this has been done in the past, not sure we woudl want to start, there are several skins installed.

3) Is modernbill still supported on the servers? I thought it required curl compiled into php. Maybe I'm wrong.

Answered.

4) What is the advantage of having my own name servers by special request if the cpanel.nocspeedx.com still shows up in the control panel for my clients. Am I missing something?

Just a little more personal.


5) True? Clients can have their own IP if they need it for SSL? Do you have to install the SSL and at what cost.

No IPs are included with cpanel as far as I know.

6) If I don't want to host my "service domain" (sorry don't remember what cpanel calls it) on the cpanel server is that any big deal? Any ill effects?

Not sure, woudl have to ask.

7) I want to feed about 3 different targeted hosting companies into one cpanel account. Is that a problem? In other words I'll have fishhosting.com for the fisherman, truckhosting.com for the truckers sites and teachershosting.com for the teachers sites. Any problems logistically or programically in doing that?

Don't think this is a problem being that cpanel really isn't automated like hspehre.

8) Kinda along the same line, via the control panel or anything else, do my customers see the domain name of my "service domain"? If I have three targeted hosting domains, then I probably want to pick a generic name for cpanel's purpose.

Servername and reseller name is all the see, i believe.
