How to Create / Modify a Reseller Account in WHM
Creating a Reseller account allows users/clients on your server to log in to WHM (with limited feature access) and create/manage their own cPanel accounts. This is similar to
our reseller hosting service.
Note: This guide is only for VPS and Dedicated Server customers. However, due to disk space limitations, we don't recommend it on most VPS plans.
How to turn an Existing cPanel Account into a Reseller
Step 1 - Log into WHM and navigate to Reseller Centre.
Step 2 - Select the cPanel account you want to be a Reseller under Add Reseller Account Privileges, ensure the checkbox is ticked, and select Add.
Once the account is created, the Reseller can use the same WHM URL that you use and their cPanel log in details for that account to log in to
WHM. Alternatively they can log in through <Their Domain>/whm (e.g. yourdomain.net.au/whm)

How to Modify Reseller Privileges

Step 3 - Click Save All Settings once you're done
How to change the ownership of a cPanel account

Alternatively, you can modify multiple accounts at once through the Change Ownership of Multiple Accounts section.
Step 2 - On the Modify Account screen, change the Account Owner then select Save.
