I'm not so sure but can a person who is hosted for free by another person and is on a subdomain of the host... Can that person who has the subdomain, provide hosting to others??

If you only have a subdomain... No. If you have a domain you might be able too if your host allowed you. For instance my domain is hosted on my lovely friend Monet's hosting account. I can host others with a subdomain if I choose too because she allowed me too. So you need to ask your host for sure.

Ok, I think I remember her saying that I can. But how does it work? I mean when I looked in my cPanel. My new domain was also another subdomain... And it included itself in my old subdomain. So if I was to give hosting to people, would they be able to get their own login name and the whole package? Is that do anything with the MySQL??

Subdomains do not get cPanel if they're on your domain (to my knowledge). They can use a mysql databases that you will make for them. But if you are hosting a subdomain , they will get an FTP account that you can create, the site, a databasse (if you want to give them one) , and so on. Personally I'd double check with your host before you start doing it. You need to know how much space she has to offer you so you moderate how much you and your subdomains are using. How many databases she has before you start giving them off. (Some hosting companies give limits)

Eh, there's no way I can contact my host. The last time was a day before I got hosted which is like last month, I think. Anyway, I just looked in my subdomain section in the cPanel. I can create a FTP account for that person. Does that mean... The person who wants hosting from me.. It could be either on my subdomain or the new domain... That person will have his/her own cPanel and t

You don't make anyone an FTP account unless your hosting them in some way.

Well, I know.. I was just saying. Just before I provide hosting, I really need to know how to do so.

How to what? Make the accounts and stuff. There are cPanel tutorials all over the web. I'm pretty sure you'll be ok reading one of those. I doubt you'll need your hosts help. Next time you get contact with her ask her if she's going to be gone for a bit. That way she could help you out if you need it , if she's around. :)

Well, could I like test it myself. Like add a subdomain and FTP account and see what it looks like to the person who gets the hosting from me. I just wanna make sure I'm doing right before that person can get it from me. So, hopefully if I do that, I can delete them afterwards.

Ok, I just did that.. It looks like the person who wants to get hosting from me can't login the cPanel. I don't really know. I did the subdomain and FTP. But how do I give that person his/her cPanel??

They don't need cPanel if you're going to do it. Thats why I said I didn't think they can get cPanel from you. Not sure read the tutorials they have online. It usually comes with reseller hosting. Either way they don't need it unless you don't want to make databases for them.

That's what I thought so too. I guess I can only provide hosting if I have reseller account.. Right?? Well, I don't know.. But if they can't get cPanel.. How do they access to their site and the pages in them. Plus, when I added the subdomain.. It's also added in my file manager... I mean it looks like they're gonna be logged in my account or something...
EDIT// and what databases are you talking about? You mean MySQL?? Eh, I don't know much about that. |

You don't need cpanel to access your site or pages. Thats why you made them a FTP account. They upload all site pages and everything via FTP. Nothing in cPanel is needed. Email accounts, and databases, and ftp accounts can be made by you. They will be ok after the FTP. (Hence why its easier to host people with FTP knowledge. Its easy though) . It will add it to your file manager but they can not log in w/o your password so don't worry about it. Because your hosting it they're just trying to get you organized.
Yes thats what I meant by databases. You don't need to make one if you don't want to offer it. Programs like wordpress and other scripts on the web require one to run and thats about it. You don't have to offer it. You don't have to make it unless they ask. |

Ok, I think I get it. Well, I think I can't provide hosting anyway unless I have reseller account so I can provide them with separate features. 'Cause I don't want the added subdomains in my file manager... I think it's going to be all cluttered or something. Eh, I don't have much knowledge on this stuff.

You don't need a reseller to host people though. They get all the separate features they would if you had a normal account. The only thing they don't get is cPanel and as I said before you do not need cPanel to own a site. Everything that needs to be done can be done by you, the host, or by them via FTP.
- Upload pages to the site (they can do with the FTP account you make them) - Email account (if you have email accounts, you can make them one. Then they won't need you again) - Look at their site (they just need to go to the url) - Use the database (after its made by you.. they don't need cpanel anymore) etc etc etc So its up to you on what you want to do but you don't need to give them cPanel. Also if your host doesn't have a reseller (which I think she does since you have cpanel) you won't be able to give them cpanel anyway. Now that I think about it the only way you can get a reseller is if you buy a hosting package. If you only plan on hosting subdomains its pointless and a waste of money. File manager stuff ... don't even worry about that. Unless you plan on hosting the world it shouldn't matter. Plus the subdomains should have a folder not spread out all over the place :] |

Ok, I fully understood you. I made a new FTP account just to test.. so I logged in the new account in my FTP client... and to find the folder or whatever... it says no directory or i don't know. So, I can't seem to make the new FTP account work...

Did you make the subdomain? and make the ftp account for the subdomain? The folder you're looking for should be called public_html or something like that.

Yes and Yes. It says no such file or directory.
EDIT//How about I make a new one again and you can check it in your FTP client... Maybe it will work in yours. |
