I am having trouble nailing this down. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I want to start a small hosting company for the clients that i add to my web design agency, so that customers play a flat rate for hosting, design, maintanence, etc. Ideally, I would like to use DO droplets for my projects. How should i go about setting this up?
I’ve installed Cpanel/WHM on an CentOS droplet i created. But for the life of me, i can not figure out how to set custom nameservers with a domain i purchased from GoDaddy.
From my understanding, in Cpanel, i would create an account for the Wordpress page i want to sell hosting. Then in that Cpanel, i would install wordpress, and WHMCS on a subdomain. But when i do this, my pages do not show when typing in mydomain.com/wp-admin
Im confused. Im wondering if anybody has come across a guide for setting up Cpanel/WHM on a cpanel.mydomain.com subdomain, then installing wordpress on the main mydomain.com url to display info, then install WHMCS on a billing.mydomain.com subdomain.
Everything i have typed may be confusing, and i apologize. My goal is to setup a web hosting site to resell hosting of my DO droplet, since i can’t use a different droplet for different customers.
