I'm having a tough time getting these answered, even on the CPanel forums, so maybe an "expert" will step up to the plate and help me out:

1. How can we install an SSL Cert on WHM and not get a certificate warning?

2. How can we create a reseller account that is limited to 10 domains AND 1 GB of space total for all of those domains?

3. What is the easiest/best way to set up Virtual Nameservers?

Click the change cpanel/whm cert and install a cert with your server name ie. server.domain.com - make sure clients access via https://server.domain.com:2087 or 2083

2. How can we create a reseller account that is limited to 10 domains AND 1 GB of space total for all of those domains?

Create just 1 account on your server for 1GB space or whatever then add the reseller and only allow them to create 10 of those accounts.

3. What is the easiest/best way to set up Virtual Nameservers?
Just add
ns1 A 1.1.1.1
ns2 A 1.1.1.2

Where 1.1.1.1 & 1.1.1.2 are 2 spare IPs that you have.
Don't forget, nameserver IP's can also host websites and website IP's can host namesevers too.

Hope that helps.

I don't want a reseller to be able to create 10 1 GB accounts, I want him to have 1 GB of space to divide up amongst 10 accounts.

Oops!

Ok, Just restrict the space to 1 GB and tell them they can only use 10 Domains and monitor it. WHM doesn't support both Domains and space allocation - It does but with packages which is not what you want.
Or..
They could always have set packages, say 100MB package and then modify disk space to suit after set up, just set the max disk space to 1GB and then also limit the No. of account creations to 10.

Hope that helps.
