Customizing the URL for your Control Panels
Allianz Hosting allows you to have Branded Control Panel URLs. You may either use Partially Branded or Fully Branded URLs to develop your Reseller business with us. Fully Branded URLs allow you to have complete anonymity from Allianz Hosting.
Note
The Fully Branded Control Panel URLs can not be the same as that of your SuperSite or PartnerSite. You must create different Branded URLs for these interfaces, in order to have the SuperSite, PartnerSite as well as the Control Panels functional at all times.
Additional Information
Partially Branded Control Panel URLs
Upon signing up as a Reseller of Allianz Hosting, our system automatically generates Partially Branded URLs for Customer and Sub-Reseller Control Panels under you. Your Partially Branded URL would be of the form - http://prefix.myorderbox.com. The prefix can be modified to your liking as long as it is not being used by another Reseller in our system. Ideally, this prefix should be your Company Name or your Brand Name.
Once you have decided on your prefix, you would have to submit the same within your Reseller Control Panel, by following the below mentioned steps:
Login to your Reseller Control Panel. 1
In the Menu, point to Settings -> Control Panel and then click URL.
Click Set your Partially Branded URL Prefix.
Under the Partially Branded URL Settings section, enter your chosen Prefix.
On clicking the Update button, the prefix would be assigned to you.
Attention
In case this prefix is not available, you will encounter the error message:
An error has occurred. Please see the error message below for details - This prefix is already used. Choose another one.
You would have to select another prefix under such a circumstance.
Note
Even after your Partially Branded prefix is changed, the old prefix cannot be used by anyone else except you for a period of 30 days. After 30 days, however, the prefix will be deleted and will become available for anyone to utilize.
If upon changing your prefix, you wish to revert to the same (within this 30 day period), you may do so by following the process outlined above.
Once the prefix is deleted, your Partially Branded Name Servers containing this prefix will also be deleted.
Additional Information
Fully Branded Control Panel URLs
Besides Partially Branded URLs, you can point your own domain name to our servers and use those as your Fully Branded Control Panel URLs. Allianz Hosting allows you to have as many Fully Branded URLs as you wish. However, you would have to create an Address Record for each URL you select. Also, please be aware that your selected Fully Branded URL cannot be of the form http://mybrandname.com/index.html.
Thus, if you have the Partially Branded URL in the form http://mybrandname.myorderbox.com and you want the Fully Branded URL as http://www.mybrandname.com, then you would have to create an Address Record for www.mybrandname.com pointing to 67.15.47.4.
Besides creating individual Address Records for each Fully Branded URL, you would have to submit the same within your Reseller Control Panel as well. Follow the steps mentioned below to accomplish this:
Login to your Reseller Control Panel. 2
In the Menu, point to Settings -> Control Panel and then click URL.
Click Control Panel URL.
Here, mention your primary Fully Branded Control Panel URL besides the Fully Branded Control Panel URL field. This URL would automatically be used by our system within emails sent to your Customers and Sub-Resellers.
You may also submit Additional URLs in the text box underneath.
Click Update to save the settings.
Attention
In case this URL is already being used for some other Reseller Account, you will encounter the error message:
An error has occurred. Please see the error message below for details - This URL is already being used.
You would have to select another URL under such a circumstance.
Note
Upon submission of your Fully Branded Control Panel URL, you will notice that under the Control Panel URL section, your Fully Branded Control Panel URLs for your Customers and Sub-Resellers are automatically generated and displayed.
Even though you have created your Fully Branded Control Panel URLs, your Partially Branded URLs would continue to function. You may always rely on these, in case your Fully Branded Control Panel URLs develop any issue.
Without creating appropriate Address Records for your Fully Branded Control Panel URLs, your Branded URLs will not function, even though you may have submitted them within your Reseller Control Panel.
