I just wanted to open a reseller account at powerVPS, because they have nice VPS to transfer my customers later.

In the last moment I realize that thay can't give me a administrator acces to plesk or cPanel CP. They will give me a client acces and I can then just resell a domains. I can't resell accounts with multiple domains. I was reselling only Windows Helm hosting till now, and Helm have a reseller acces then can resell multiple domain accounts, but if I understoud correctly Plesk and cPanel don't. Please correct me if I'm wrong?

You can create cPanel accounts through WHM that have multiple parked / add-on domains. Maybe they don't support it?

yes you can create multiple domain accounts with Plesk, I think there talking about giving you root access

No, they are giving root acces for VPS only not for reseller, so I probably woun't get a administrator acces to plesk for reseller hosting. So I don't know does Plesk have some reseller account.

You don't need root access for creating accounts or hosting multiple domain names. You'll be able to do what you planned to do with the reseller account they've set you up with.

Yep you're right I think. You won't be able to create Reseller accounts unless you have root access. So you will not be able to offer clients accounts that allow them to set up their own mutlitple domains that each have separate control panels and features.

I recommend getting a VPS instead of a reseller account.

You didn't understand me, i don't wan't to create a reseller accounts, i just want to create a standard shared hosting accounts that can add multiple domains and subdomains but I think that plesk does not have that abilitty. With plesk I only can create single domain accounts. Am I right?

No you aren't right. Reseller accounts and multiple domain accounts in plesk are the same exact thing. They are both called "User Accounts". And with a "user account" you can only create domain accounts for 1 domain. If you want to create multiple domain accounts for non-reseller customers, you will need administrator access because a User account cannot create another user account

So, yes I am right, that's what I meant, but I didn't express my self correctly, what I wanted to say is that I wan't have that ability with plesk reseller account, I know that Plesk have that ability with administrator acces.

So I have to choose cPanel to be able to create multiple domain accounts.

Ok, thanks.

cpanel is an easy sell
