This differs from an add-on domain where an add-on domain is installed in a subdirectory which is then used as the "web root" directory. Add-on domains share resources with the main hosting account domain and typically share the same control panel and ftp login, though additional ftp users can be created which limits the user to a specific directory. A reseller account is attractive as it allows you to provide independent hosting accounts to your clients. There are typically bandwidth and drive space limitations set for your reseller account and more expensive than regular hosting accounts. This is ideal for designers who wish to offer hosting for their clients. Price is a consideration and there are attractive prices, but at what cost? There is nothing more embarrassing than to go to your website and see a "This account is Suspended" page which can have dramatic effects on a business. Know your requirements, pose questions to your possible candidates, read the fine print, and ask trusted sources for their experiences and recommendations. TIP:  PHP integration.  PHP is a server side scripting language and is processed by the server where your website is located. PHP was created to work seamlessly with HTML. You may modify the extension of any html file to .php and the file will run as it did before and you may also intermix php and html within a file. Here’s a short example: <html> <head> </head> <body> <b> <?php echo "hello world"; ?> </b> </body> </html> This simply prints out  "hello world" in bold print on the browser screen. A question one sees often in the TalkGraphic forum is how to parse php in html files. One of the ways is to simply rename the file and change the extension to .php. You can rename the page and extension within Xara in the Website Properties > Page > Title area so the saved file name has the php extension. Or you can just rename the file on your computer before uploading or on your website. The advantage to doing this in the Page > Title section is you don’t have to rename the page every time you republish. Another option which may be much less of a problem is to instruct the server to parse your html files for php. You do this by adding a statement to your .htaccess file, if you have one, or by creating an html file if you don't have one. NOTE:  Use a text editor (such as Note Pad ++) for editing a php file, html files, or htaccess file. A word processor will add formatting to a file which can cause an error page to show up. The htaccess file name must have a period in front of for the name as follows: .htaccess For testing, I normally just create a new directory so it won't affect anything else on the website. Create a php file with a text editor with the html/php mixture shown earlier. If you name it index.html, it should just load automatically when you visit the directory. Upload it to your test directory and point your browser to it. Without the htaccess file, it won't display anything unless the server is set up to parse php in html files automatically. If you view the source, you will see the php command in the source. Now try adding one of the lines below to the .htaccess file and refresh your browser. Only add one line at a time until you find one that works. AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .htm .html If the first one works, great. If not,  try the next one. Some hosts may require both directives. If the above didn't work, try: AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html AddHandler x-httpd-php  .htm .html If the last one didn't work, try changing the php to php5.
