Hey, I was wondering how can I create accounts between reseller and full dedicated server. sort of like a semi-dedicated account but i want them to be able to sell resellers and have root but without deleting or damaging other people's accounts that they dont own. any ideas??

[RyanD]

it's called a vps

[The Kid]

but i thought it was called vds? im confused

[NickTooms]

VDS is some other thing.
VPS- Virtual private service

[choon]

VDS = Virtual Dedicated Server
VPS = Virtual Private Server
Actually to me both are the same :p

Yes, absolutely the same - though some claim the trademark over both.

As for the root question, in WHM one can create reseller accounts and give them the right to create reseller accounts.

That is true, however he specifically stated give them "root" which is not available with cpanel unless you want everyone monkeying around with the box

In case of CPanel being the control panel for that server.. there are scripts for sale that allow Re-Reseller accounts. a Top Reseller that can create new resellers.
