here it is.

I hosted a client website on my server with several other clients sites. I haven't problem with many clients asking me for the cpanal. just the email account and login details.

but I have encountered some clients who wanted the cpanal. and there reasons is not clear. some said they want to be creating email and have control others the just want the cpanel.

been that I cannot give them de cpanal. I was wondering if it's possible to buy a new cpanal to host the email there and the main site to my cpanal.

thanks

in the first place as a developer, you don't host clients site on your own server especially when the job is done.

purchase a different hosting package for each client and hand the details to them. that is how it suppose to be because it is not all clients that are not savvy in this kinds of stuffs.


better still, if you want to run all clients to your server, then get a vps server and setup cpanel whm, with this each client can have their own control panel while you on the other hand will be in charge of the server to over see their account. you will still have access to their cpanel from whm admin back end even while they have their own cpanel login which is different from yours.

so for each client, you just need to create cpanel account based on their package they want for them on your server . you can allocate the number of storage space they will use, ram, email account they can create, ftb, sub domain, add-on domain etc all from your back end.

this way they can do whatever they like with the account .

there are lots of cheap vps server you can get which you can even earn from such kind of packaging because they will be paying for their hosting which goes directly to you as the owner of the vps server. imaging.

so this is the best way you can do it and still give them full access to their own cpanel where they can create emails and even do other stuffs which they won't have to disturb you in the long run.

Yes, this is possible but with a different method.

Since you want to give access to email functions only, you will need to get E-mail Hosting service for each of your client's domain then update the MX records from your cPanel account. You don't need to change nameservers for this.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

you haven't answered the question. I do not need your suggestions. what I am asking is if it's achievable to get an email from another cheap host when the domain remains in my server?

the way i do my work. my scripts must remain with me. I do not give it out. if there is any thing need to be done like update it should be directed to me. if the contract ends they should look elsewhere who will develop a site from scratch for them.

my reason is getting a cpanal email account while the site hosting remains with me

thought if after someone develop a website or web app for their clients, the source code automatically belongs to the client except maybe the clients made an agreement not to have the source code because me don't understand why someone would spend huge amount of cash on a web app and yet it will remain with the developer. I have not heard of such before.

seems what you are looking for is email service. you can use gmail business suit to create emails for them. or probably ask them to send you the name of the email they wish to create while you create it on the cpanel and send them login to the web mail without them having access to control panel.
