If you have accidentally submitted a cancellation request and wish to continue the service, please email us and we will remove the request before it's processed where possible. Note that once a cancellation has been processed all data is erased permanently and cannot be restored unless you purchased the daily backup feature when your service was active.

As a reseller you are automatically provided a unique VPS username and password with each VPS you add. This can be provided to your clients for VPS Management only of a single VPS.

There are times however when you may have a larger client who has multiple VPSs and you wish to provide them a single VPS Management login to manage all their VPSs without of course giving them access to all your VPSs, to any account information, or give any indication of your actual host.

To do this you need to create a Sub Account with Product Permissions Only.

1. Go to https://portal.controlmyvps.com.au and login using your account level EMAIL address and password.

2. Click on the 'Accounts' tab

3. Click on 'Contacts/Sub-Accounts'

4. You need to create an account for them, under the 'Choose Contact' drop down box select 'Add New' and click 'Go'

5. Fill out the form. We recommend you use an email address at yourdomain for their login e.g. if your company is mrhost.com and your client is Truck World you could set an email truckworld@mrhost.com. We recommend this so we do not have your clients actual email address on file. We would not email your client in any case, however, they will have to contact you directly to have their portal password reset. By using an email address login that they do not have access to you ensure that absolutely no contact between us and your client is possible.

6. Make sure you check 'Activate Sub-Account' to enable this user to login to the portal.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT check any 'Account Level Permissions' as this is specifically for contacts you create for your employees to do certain things.

5. Click the 'Save Changes' button - IMPORTANT: The VPS Management Permissions only display AFTER saving your contact. Most likely you will need to reload the page by clicking on 'Contacts' on the top menu for the VPS Management Permissions to display.

6. Scroll down and you will now see options to select VPS Management Permissions.

7. Select the VPSs you want this client to have access to manage.

8. Click 'Save Changes'.

9. Test the login by going to https://portal.controlmyvps.com.au and logging in with the user you just created. You'll see they only have management level access to the VPSs you specified.

When you resell for VPSBlocks you not only get to sell a unique and fantastic product, you can also make quite a lot of money. As one of the only providers of NVME/Flash based VPS Cloud services in Australia you can mark up our prices and still make good sales.

A good example is if you sold a single 2 block Linux VPS to your client at $80 per month.

Yearly Income: $960
Yearly Cost: $597.60

Total Profit: $362.40

Now, consider you have more than 15 active VPS clients with VPSBlocks, you then get a discount on all of them of 20%.

Yearly Income: $14400
Yearly Cost: $7171.20

Total Profit: $7228.80

As you can see, by signing up clients through VPSBlocks reselling system you can make a substantial amount of money without any capital outlay or virtualization expertise.

To sign up as a reseller simply go to: http://www.vpsblocks.com.au/Reselling.aspx

Fill out the form at the bottom of the page. If you already have an account with the email address you use to register it will automatically convert to a Reseller account. If you do not already have a VPSBlocks account it will create one for you.

You will then receive an email with further details on reselling our products.

Clients manage their VPS at http://portal.controlmyvps.com.au/ 

This is a generic domains, the whois leads to a parent company which is not traceable to VPSBlocks. This is because we realise our resellers want us to be pro-active about isolating ourselves from their clients. We have absolutely no contact with your clients, as far as they are concerned you are providing the service directly to them.

How to disable/suspend a VPS

If you need to disable a VM because your client hasn't paid, you can do the following:

1. Go to https://portal.controlmyvps.com.au

2. Login using your email address and password

3. Click on the 'VPS Management' tab

4. Select the VPS in question from the drop down list box

5. Click on 'Suspend VPS'

Note: If you are paying us at the same time as your clients are paying you this would rarely be used, as the VM will automatically be suspended when payment is overdue according to our schedules. You will of course be notified of upcoming payments, and given time to collect payments before VMs are suspended.

This article explain how to change the password we store for your VPS. This password is by VPSBlocks staff if they need to access your VPS for administrative or support purposes so it's best if you keep it updated if you change your root/administrator password on your VPS. This is also used by resellers clients to login to the portal website to administer the VPS only.
