Sell hosting in multiple locations
A reseller plan lives in one region. To sell in several, hold a plan in each — with a discount on the additional ones.
Offer hosting in more than one country or region. Applies to reseller accounts.
How it works
A reseller plan is located in one region, chosen when you order it. Every account you create inside it lives there.
To sell in several regions, hold a reseller plan in each. When creating an account, provision it in whichever plan suits that client — normally the one closest to them or to their visitors.
Additional plans are discounted
Secondary reseller plans carry a flat-rate discount. The discount applies to additional plans, not to your first — see Reseller discounts for current rates.
Why location matters
Latency. Physical distance costs milliseconds on every request, and it compounds across the many requests a page makes.
Data residency. Some clients are required to keep data in a particular jurisdiction. Being able to say where it is hosted wins that business.
Regional expectations. Search engines and customers alike prefer a site that responds quickly locally.
Managing several plans
Each plan is a separate WHM with its own accounts, packages and nameservers. Worth knowing:
- Add each as a separate server in WHMCS, then choose at provisioning time — see Add a server to WHMCS.
- Custom nameservers can span them. Point

- Moving an account between plans is a migration, not a setting — see Why accounts cannot be migrated between reseller plans.
