There are so many options available to our resellers to customise the products, features, prices and services that occasionally customers may miss a particular feature, especially with us adding to them every month. Here are 10 features available to all reseller web hosting customers that you may not know about.
1. White label your domain tags
Traditionally resellers would have to use our Nominet tag ‘HEARTINTERNET’ when registering domain names, and whilst this is still an option, you can now use the more generic tag ‘EXTEND’ on all .uk domain names. You can even change all existing tags in just a couple of clicks.
Getting started:
• Nominet Tag
• Follow the instructions
.
2. White label sales collateral and guides
Our white label sales collateral covers all the major products and add-on services, which means you don’t have to spend hours writing your website’s product pages or downloadable brochures. Use them as they are, use them as the starting point for something else or simply add your branding, the choice is yours. On top of this, we have also written a series of white label web hosting guides for resellers to pass on to their customers.
Getting started:
• White label reseller material or White label hosting guides
