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:

1. Click the Edit button at a Reseller Hiding screen.
2. 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:

  If Parallels Business Automation - Standard is installed inside a Virtuozzo Container:

  • Hardware node root password. Indicate the root password of the server that hosts the Virtuozzo Container with Parallels Business Automation - Standard installed. This is necessary to make your Management Node installed inside one of Container hosted in this Hardware Node accessible over the network.

    If Parallels Business Automation - Standard is installed on a physical server, you can register a new IP address in the same way as for Linux conventional network interface :

  • Netmask. Enter a network mask.
  • Interface. Select a network interface the IP address is to be assigned to.
