Update Your Site/Control Panels Client List Terms About BizLand

BizLand Inc. recently purchased many of HostYourSite's assets and will soon be managing the HostYourSite.com website and reseller program.

HostYourSite.com will continue to operate as a separate hosting service. We will continue to support and maintain the pricing of existing hosting plans.

We are in the process of upgrading the HostYourSite hosting and reseller platforms and migrating all shared-hosting accounts to the new platforms.

We will need your support to make this transformation successful. Please keep an eye out for email communications that will keep you abreast of changes you'll need to make to the websites you manage.

Please review the following information carefully.

Better Commissions
We are making some big improvements on the HostYourSite reseller platform. The new commission structure allows you to receive more commissions without having to pay an annual fee!

	Previous Reseller Program	New Reseller Program
Commission Structure:	50% Revenue	50% Revenue
Minimum before Payout:	5 accounts & $50 in commission	$25 in commission
Annual Renewal Fee:	$395	None

Updating Your Reseller Website
Existing pages describing HostYourSite plans are no longer working. To create your new pages, you will need to visit Custom Formatting to create your new marketing pages and upload your logo. Until you create these new pages, you will not be able to accept any new clients.

You also need to update your pricing. To do this, please visit Edit Pricing from within the Reseller Console to generate the pricing for your packages. If you do not make any changes, these will remain at the HostYourSite minimum prices.

Control Panel Changes for Clients
We have launched a new client control panel, called the Members Area, on AccountSupport.com. The Members Area will give your clients access to the tools they need to manage their hosting accounts (domain names, traffic statistics, file management, etc.). Upon completion of the Custom Formatting page, the branding in the Members Area will reflect your business.

Client List
Visit our client status tool status tool to get an update on the status of your clients's migrations.

Uploading/CGI Changes
CGI: Because we are changing the directory structure on the servers, we will automatically update the absolute path to your files and make every effort to convert your scripts to the correct paths.

If you discover a pathname issue, you can view the correct path by clicking the "CGI Management" link in the Members Area. You'll need to correct your path in the source code. Be sure to use this path for any new scripts you create as well.

Compiled C: HostYourSite will no longer be able to support Compiled C CGI programs.
