Hiding Reseller's URL
Parallels Business Automation - Standard allows hiding Reseller's URL in such a way that Reseller website seems absolutely independent from HSP server (and other Resellers).
Reseller hiding is included into a reseller account creation wizard. A reseller account cannot be saved without hiding configured. If a Reseller does not have a domain, then a temporal domain is created in HSP domain.
Important: Resellers hiding is necessary for reseller store to work in case a reseller uses provider store installation.
You can assign an IP address from your Management Node IP pool to a domain delegated by a reseller so that your Management Node (i.e., the Reseller Control Center and reseller store) will be accessible by a new reseller's URL.
To change a reseller's URL hiding, go to the Account Director - Reseller Manager - Resellers. Select a reseller account and then click the Hiding tab.
To edit a reseller hiding options:
- Click the Edit button at a Reseller Hiding screen.
- Adjust the hiding settings:
Reseller's own domain name
- Domain. Enter a reseller domain name used for reseller store. If you do not sure about a domain name to enter, use the default one. By default, a reseller hiding URL is formed of a reseller account administrator name written in one string in lowercase and your default domain.
- Add into DNS. Check this box to create a domain zone file in the Parallels Business Automation - Standard DNS, i.e., provide the DNS hosting for the reseller domain.
Name servers
- Select a name servers set. Please select a name servers set to be used for the domains owned by the reseller. The ability for a reseller to have own name servers set is defined in a Reseller Configuration.
Reseller's own IP address
Set the option button to one of the following:
- Share provider's IP address. Use your IP address for the reseller domain.
- Add new IP address to Parallels Business Automation - Standard server. Add a new dedicated IP address for a reseller domain.
- IP address. Enter a reseller IP address.
- The composition of the rest of the fields depends on the type of Parallels Business Automation - Standard installation:
