I am in the processing of building my website for webhosting biz and would like your advice on the following.

my website address is anmoltech.com and the WHMCS being installed on anmoltech.net ( there is still some work that needs to be done)

my questions below:

1)How exactly should i be able to make the order form in WHMCS to be a able to sell SSl cert?

2)I am thinking of putting my domain pricing at $11.95/yr

3)webhosting packages to be increased by $2 each in addition to the prices you see on my website.

4)I have video + audio tutorials from demowolf but need a better and more visible place for clients to be able to access (btw, how to put **written** tutorials to put in WHMCS knowledgebase and where to put video tutorials in WHMCS?)

please try and answer all questions and i would really appreciate any more advise on

5)the looks of the website

6)suggestions for the color of the forums ( the present forum colors are only experimental)

7) also say i sell the other services like webdesign and SEO -- how would i process that in WHMCS?

anything else that you might think of

thanks

Your site is pretty easy on the eye but is a little plain, also i would not recommend putting WHMCS as the start, but a main page with a little about your company etc, so your visitors know straight away what you offer...

To sell other products that are not hosting products use either addons or "other" in the product configuration

1)How exactly should i be able to make the order form in WHMCS to be a able to sell SSl cert?


First off, create a subdomain, say billing.anmoltech.com / order.anmoltech.com / etc or even a subfolder like anmoltech.com/billing or anmoltech.com/order, and give it a dedicated IP address, as you need a dedicated IP for a SSL cert. Then, purchase a SSL cert, and install it via your control panel.
Now, to sell SSL cert, you need a SSL cert reseller account, with someone, and then simply setup the SSL Cert as a product in WHMCS


2)I am thinking of putting my domain pricing at $11.95/yr

3)webhosting packages to be increased by $2 each in addition to the prices you see on my website.

4)I have video + audio tutorials from demowolf but need a better and more visible place for clients to be able to access (btw, how to put **written** tutorials to put in WHMCS knowledgebase and where to put video tutorials in WHMCS?)


Put these on your website. Create a menu, like support / tutorials, and link to the videos from there


please try and answer all questions and i would really appreciate any more advise on


Was #2 & #3 a question?



5)the looks of the website



6)suggestions for the color of the forums ( the present forum colors are only experimental)

This is really going to depend on you, but try keep it the same as your website.


7) also say i sell the other services like webdesign and SEO -- how would i process that in WHMCS?


Set these up as products in WHMCS. More info can get obtained from their Forum / Support


anything else that you might think of

regarding # 2 and # 3 questions:

are the pricing reasonable?

for example some well known hosts have put domain pricing in the $20 range for .com -- i just thought that was too high

I am still not sure if i am pricing it low, high or just right

any comments from anyone is appreciated

thanks
