Hey,

I am looking into buying a ServInt VPS. I have been reading alot about VPS's lately on the forums and I just have one last question. If I have a VPS with ServInt, I install WHMAutoPilot, will I be able to provide reseller accounts to people with WHM? That is to say, will my resellers have WHM?

Thanks for the help!

Yes a VPS give you "root" access to your piece of the server, your cPanel lic. acts as a seperate account from the main account.

Not sure how IP's work with VPS's may want to ask the host if he will give you additional IPs from your reseller clients.

Agreed ... Most resellers will requie private nameservers... Also you will need a private domain for the root domain.

your proberly be given ur own set of IP's aswell, which are different from the actual server IP. otherwise your just be able to use WinSCP and gain access to everyones account.

Yes you do, Hosts dont really give nameservers they just give the IPs so the reseller can create nameservers with thier registrar.
