White-Label Branding for Resellers Print

White-label branding allows resellers to provide hosting services under their own brand, while the infrastructure, management, and support are handled by SmartHostee. Clients see your brand instead of SmartHostee’s branding, enhancing professionalism and trust.

Benefits of White-Label Hosting

• Full branding of client-facing portals (login pages, emails, invoices)

• Control over business identity without owning server infrastructure

• Ability to offer hosting packages under your own pricing model

• Builds credibility and client loyalty

Step-by-Step Guide to White-Label Branding

Step 1: Access Reseller Branding Settings

1. Log in to your SmartHostee reseller dashboard.

2. Navigate to Branding/White-Label Settings.

3. Open the configuration panel for client portals, emails, and invoices.

Step 2: Customize Client Portal

• Upload your company logo and favicon

• Set your brand colors for the dashboard and menus

• Update footer and header text with your company information

• Configure custom domain (optional) to access the client portal via your domain (e.g., clients.yourbrand.com)

Step 3: Customize Automated Emails

• Update sender name and email address (e.g., support@yourdomain.com)

• Modify templates for:

  • Account creation

  • Password reset

  • Billing reminders

• Ensure emails do not mention SmartHostee unless legally required

Step 4: Customize Invoices and Billing

• Add your logo and company details to invoices

• Adjust currency and tax information according to your business needs

• Include your support contact information

Step 5: Test Branding

1. Create a test client account

2. Log in to the client portal and verify all branding appears correctly

3. Send test emails and invoices to confirm white-label settings

Best Practices

• Use consistent branding across all client touchpoints

• Maintain professional formatting in emails and invoices

• Review portal periodically for outdated branding elements

• Provide clients with your support contact for a seamless experience

Important Notes

• White-label branding does not change server infrastructure or backend management

• Some system messages may still include minimal references to SmartHostee for compliance or support

• Custom domain mapping may require DNS adjustments

Expected Outcome

Your clients will experience fully branded hosting services under your company’s identity, enhancing professionalism and allowing you to market hosting solutions as your own.
