Solution How to set up a Value Added Reseller account with your own URL

If you have a VAR account and you intend to allow your clients to login to your account as part of your service to them, then you will almost certainly want to do as much as possible to see your own Brand and Business name supported.

One method that helps in this regard is the ability you have to use your own domain name to direct your clients to the service.
Here's how to do this
1. Have a unique domain name. This can be a WWW address like http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com, or you can use a third level domain name, such as http://marketing.YOURDOMAIN.com

2. You must change the DNS to point this domain name to a special IP address which is
216.7.188.168
This is either done by setting the DNS records for the whole domain (is using a WWW address), or set the A-NAME records for the third level domain name.
Either way, the URL needs to resolve to this special IP address

3. Done

Allow up to 24 hours for your domain name DNS settings to start working.
The DEFAULT landing page is the unbranded LOGIN page
When one of your client then logs in, they will see your LOGO etc (as set up in the Value Added Reseller Settings area in MY ACCOUNT)
