If you are running a small sized company, an affordable small business web hosting plan is absolutely ideal for you. It’s very easy to start a small online business as small business website hosting plans are available at affordable price.

What should one look for when selecting a web hosting plans for small business?

Unlimited Features

The aim for your small business is always to grow, so ensure that you sign up with a hosting company that offers unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth and unlimited domain names support. The good news is that these days the biggest hosting companies can offer you unlimited features with the same price as that offers limited features.

Excellent Uptime

If the company offers less than 99% uptime forget it. Technologies are quite reliable these days and if the company can’t support that kind of uptime than you can easily find one that can offer you 99% uptime.

Extra Features

Look for unlimited friendly support at no extra cost, especially if you’re a beginner. If you plan on building a website by yourself then some companies may offer you a free website builder.

The best small business web hosting companies don’t have to be limited for their price. In fact you’ll find that companies such as Bodhost Ltd., which is one of the top ranking UK web hosting providers, can often be cheaper and reliable than any other web hosting companies. So choose a hosting company that will be prepared for your future small business expansion at no extra cost to you.

There are a number of web hosting plans that are appropriate for small businesses. The type of plan will depend on the type of site you have. You may require a small business web hosting option that includes e-commerce. You may need something that will keep track of your customer list. Your site may be simple and only include product and company information.

To find a small business web hosting plan that is right for your company, you will first need to decide exactly what your site will be used for. Do you want it to be very informative and content driven? Would you like to sell your products online? Do you just need a simply designed website? Do you need a database?

Compile a list of companies that offer small business web hosting plans and then see if they provide the features that you need. The best way to find a trustworthy web hosting company is to find current customers and ask them about their experience with that company. In order to truly understand how their customer service and reliability measure up, you will need to get past their website and see what other people have to say.

In this article, we will show you how to setup reseller accounts with their own private name servers like ns1 and ns2 for their own clients in WHM. Resellers can also have their own private name servers for their own clients making the server provider more anonymous and the reseller more credible.

We assume that you have already setup your resellers account and that you want to just add private name servers for them. To set the private name servers

What You Need is

2 free IP addresses
WHM root access to the server

Setting it up in WHM

Now that the name servers and IPs are registered we need to set them up on the server.

• Login to your WHM account as root.
• Click on Reseller Center on the left hand side.
• Under Edit Reseller Privileges/Nameservers, select the reseller account you want to provide with private name servers.
• Scroll down to the very bottom of the page until you see 4 entry boxes and it reads: Primary Nameserver:

See the below image, click for enlargement

• In the Primary Nameserver field enter: ns1.clientdomain.com
• Click “Assign IP Address“
• Click “Add an A Entry for this nameserver“
• In the Secondary Nameserver field enter: ns2.clientdomain.com . Now, repeat steps 6 and 7 for the Secondary Nameserver.
• Click Save
• Write down your resellers IPs and what name servers they belong to, on WHM click on Manage Nameserver IPs to view all name servers running.

Register the name servers, have your reseller login to your domain management page for the domain you registered and  register ns1.newdomain.com and ns2.newdomain.com as nameservers (registries normally have a special facility for doing that). The registry may also have a facility to propogate these nameservers around the foreign registries – if so, you should use this facility.

These registrations may take a few days to propagate (often as many as 3 days).

Your resellers can now have their clients enter ns1.clientdomain.com and ns2.clientdomain.com helping your reseller look more professional and keeping them anonymous from you.
