As a Pickaweb Reseller you will be assigned your own custom nameservers in the following format:

ns.yourchosendns.com

ns2.yourchosendns.com

This allows the reseller to position themselves as the hosting company & to reinforce their brand to their customers. When the Reseller has set up the hosting account they just need to ask their clients to update their nameservers to their custom nameservers.

If the domain has been registered with Pickaweb the name servers can be updated at http://www.pickaweb.co.uk/cgi-bin/manage.cgi
This tutorial explains how to change the DNS http://www.pickaweb.co.uk/movies1/managedomain.htm

By using Custom Nameservers there is no mention of Pickaweb in the hosting control panel so the Reseller is able to reinforce their brand to their customers.

As a Pickaweb Reseller there are a number of advantages over standard shared hosting services. Many people will use a Reseller plan as a way of creating an additional and valuable recurring revenue stream. A good example would be a web designer who wants to generate a longer term relationship with his design customers. The reseller can purchase a bulk amount of diskspace and bandwidth and allocate this as they want to across their customers. They can create different levels of package (bronze, silver, gold, etc..) and charge each customer according to their needs.

Another great benefit of the Pickaweb Reseller Plan is that as long as the Reseller is within the disk space and bandwidth parameters they are free to utilise the resources however they wish. For example, they can create as many MySQL databases as they require. Other exmaples are domain parking, emails accounts, etc..
