Home » Windows Reseller Tutorial |
HELM is an easy to use tool, which may possibly seem quite confusing at first. The purpose of this tutorial is to get you going with your Windows reseller account
as quickly as possible.
To start with you must log into your reseller account (see your setup email for username and password).
Your login will bring you to the Reseller home page in HELM and we advise that you click around to get used to the interface.
In order to set up domains in your new reseller package you should first configure your account. You will need to create your hosting plans first. You can then
create user accounts and assign a plan to a user. A plan governs the amount of features and resources you will allow a user to utilise.
When you create a user, you will assign one of the plans you have created as a package for that user. This package can then be left as it is, or it can be modified to an exact requirement.
Once you have created a package for that user, you can then add a domain under that users account. A user can have more than one domain if you allow them.
Lets jump right in with a video tutorial, showing you how to create your first hosting plan in your new reseller account.
 Creating your plans (443KB)
It is important to note here that you do not have to set up a hosting plan every time you need to create a website.
Now you should have at least one plan created in your reseller package you can go ahead and create a new user. At least one user is required before you
are able to add a domain to your account. The user is assigned a username and password which is required for access to the domain control panel.
If you are giving your customers access to the control panel then you will need to create a user for each client you have. Otherwise, if you are looking after all
the websites in your account yourself then you can create just one user with as many websites as your account allows. This will allow you to manage all your
sites from the same login.
Creating a new user is real simple, so let's get started. Click the link below to launch the video tutorial on how to do this.
Creating a New User (303KB)
Now you are ready to add a domain to your account. You have created a new user and assigned a package to that user account. So now you can simply go ahead and start adding domains for that user.
See how this is done with our final video tutorial by clicking the link below.
Adding a Domain (209KB)
And that's it! You have now created your first domain in Helm. It is very rewarding to have full control over your domains at any time day or night. And this is very possible with your Helm account.
