When a customer purchases a new hosting account or a new domain name, a generic default place holding page is put up. As a Reseller, you can customise these pages to show that you are the owner of that account or domain name until your customer begins to build a website or points the domain name to an existing site.
You will need to create and upload an HTML page to an existing hosting account before you can use a custom domain name place holding page. The domain will not redirect to the site that holds the page, but will point at the page.
To create a custom default domain page:
- Create an HTML page with the information you want to display on the default domain page
- Upload the HTML page to a site hosted by you
- View the page in your browser and copy the full URL of the page
- Log into your Reseller Control Centre
- Click ‘Domain Control Panel’ under ‘Manage Domain Names’
- Paste your copied URL into the text box next to ‘Full URL’ under ‘Default Holding Page’
- Click ‘Update Now’
- Domain names will now point to your default domain page
