I have been looking for a reseller account and have chosen reseller zoom. Just need a couple of things cleared up before I order if anyone could help me:

- What advantages would a private nameserver give me? is it worth having?

- When I order the hosting and order a domain name with it will this be the main domain name for the reseller hosting? I am going to be setting up a webdesign company, I haven't thought of a name yet but I have a few jobs lined up. Was going to do these sites first then sort mine out. Would it make a difference if i signed up for a reseller account with the domain of the client I am making the website for or would this cause problems in the future? Is it best to just think of my name now and sign up with that are does it not make a difference?

Not really sure how a reseller account works in detail, just don't want to make any school boy errors!

Second Question: Depending on the set-up you can always change the domain via WHM at a later date.

It is always better to have the main domain when you signup, but it can be changed latter.

Private Nameservers is just a mask so that your clients do not know that you are a reseller of another company.

Ah right. Well thanx for the reply, has put me in the picture a bit more.

If you are going to be reselling, your own private nameservers are very important. When someone does a WHOIS on you, you want them to see that you at least have the appearance of being on your own server, and not someone eleses. Custom nameservers give you this appearance. Using the nameservers of your actual host tells a saavy prospective client that you are exactly what you are, a reseller.

In short, private nameservers give you a much more professional and stable appearance.

What would you like to tell your customer?

Point your domain to:

1. ns1.myreseller.com

OR

2. ns1.mysite.com ?

2nd one is private name server
