- These packages will determine what resources are allocated to each customer.
3. Manage End-User Accounts
- Add new user accounts in WHM for each of your clients.
- Assign packages to each user, giving them access to their individual cPanel.
4. Brand Your Reseller Account
- Set up custom nameservers (e.g., `ns1.yourdomain.com` and `ns2.yourdomain.com`) for brand consistency.
- Customize the cPanel appearance and login URL for a branded experience.
