How to: Create and Manage Reseller Packages

Resellers can be assigned to a specific package, which specifies such details as the number of SiteWorx accounts that can be created, monthly bandwidth, disk storage, number of e-mail boxes, etc.

All reseller package features are “shared” between the SiteWorx accounts that a reseller creates. For example, if a reseller package allows for ten e-mail boxes, the reseller can create ten SiteWorx accounts, each with one e-mail box, or five SiteWorx accounts, each with two e-mail boxes, etc.
