Administration overview |
To efficiently control all levels of web hosting, Hosting Controller has been divided into three levels of administration:
Hosting Administrators - Sometimes referred to as HostAdmin.
Resellers - Sometimes referred to as ResAdmin.
Web Administrators - Sometimes referred to as WebAdmin
Each level has it's own access rights to the Hosting Controller system.
Note: Each Hosting Controller administrator has their own manual and online help, which describes all of the functions that they can perform, and should be referred to when required. For example, if you need to know how to add a new domain, which is a function that can only be performed by Resellers, you need to refer to the Reseller documentation.
Hosting Administrators
The hosting administrator is the owner of the server which hosts the sites and sets up the entire system. HostAdmin's have the highest level of control.
Resellers
Hosting administrators create Resellers, who are directly responsible for creating and administering the web sites, and WebAdmins who own the web sites on the web server. Each reseller may create and administer one or many (depending upon the assigned quota) Web Administrators. Resellers can only alter or delete domains which they created.
Web Administrators
WebAdmins are the actual owners of the web sites purchased from the Resellers, and their control is confined to their personal sites. WebAdmins can control all aspects of their site, Hosting Controller has been designed to give users the authority to manage their own situation with the least amount of outside intervention.
