It's tedious at the moment.. I requested an enhancement at support.cpanel.net. I hope it will soon be implemented. For now, you have to create the account. then go to reseller center, click add reseller privleges, select the domain, click reseller center again, go to edit resellers dropdown box, select your newly added reseller, then in the following page, select how you would like his/her account to be controlled. Then you edit there dns zone, and add there nameservers.. Blech.. I hope nick makes this easier soon, and allows you to create a 'Reseller Plan' with preset settings. :cartman:

Should the ip be checked?
Do I have to add a dns zone to the domain be added?

Does the domain use the same ip as my account?

How can this domain be viewed before it propagates?

Should the ip be checked?
- If you want them to have there own IP. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Do I have to add a dns zone to the domain be added?
No. It will add it.

Does the domain use the same ip as my account?
It can. If you do not want a Unique IP. (You don't need one)

How can this domain be viewed before it propagates?
By the IP, if its unique. If it's not unique, you can USUALLY view it by going to http://THEIP/~THEIRUSERNAME

ok, my host set me up this way....

2 ips for ns

123.123.123.123 = ns1.mydomain.com
123.123.123.100 = ns2.mydomain.com

Main ip for mydomain.com = 123.123.123.123

On WHM my domain ip shows under the accounts as: 123.123.111.121

But host says that my ip is: 123.123.123.123

What ip does the clients use to view page?

Also when setting up client there is an option for ip address assigning. The options are auto assign, 123.123.123.123, 123.123.123.100, and more ips. What should I choose?



If it's not unique, you can USUALLY view it by going to http://THEIP/~THEIRUSERNAME

That's why I said usually. That is, if your referring to the site not displaying in a browser. Contact your webhost. They should know their systems better then me. :)
