My company has decided to starting hosting web sites, as the local market doesn't seem to have a lot of places willing to host for a good rate and there really is a need in the market in my opinion.

So, bought reseller package, from somebody at quite a good rate (I think anyway) to offer clients both locally and internationally if I do work for them :).

After messing around somewhat with the server administration software, got a site hosted there - one that I own.... I was wondering if anybody has any tutorial information on the Plesk software, so that I can get a good understanding of how it works?

Also, want to offer credit card services to clients - any suggestions on who I should use to do this?

What about the sign up info if somebody wants to have a site hosted - is there any templated forms out there to use on the site?

Finally, domain name registration - if I want to use a company that can register the domains directly on my site, can this be easily done?

I know that this is quite a few questions, but want to be able to host lots of sites and make a few dollars with doing so....

Check http://www.plesk.com/html/products/psa/doc.htm for Plesk documentation and tutorials.

When you say credit card services, do you mean you want to allow clients to pay using a credit card? If this is the case, check http://www.2checkout.com and http://www.revecom.com.

OpenSRS / Tucows reseller program is widely regarded as one of the best around, check http://www.opensrs.net for more details.

You might want to try mrregistrar (http://www.mrregistrar.com) for domain registration. They offer a transparent affiliate program where you get to set your own domain price and customize the pages. It's really cool. :cool:

Thanks so far guys !

Quill that link doesn't seem to work - but this is something that I would really like to use. Is that surely the name of the site?
