Configuring Your Brand

You can configure several branded websites so that customers can access your services through different URLs.

To apply branding to your Reseller Control Panel, you must configure a branded access point linked to the domain you registered when subscribing to a reseller plan.

Configuring a Brand

To configure a branded access point in CloudBlue Commerce:

1. Log in to Operations control panel with credentials provided during registration.
2. Go to System > Settings > Brands. Click Add New Brand.
3. Select Existing Domain and click Next.
4. Complete the form:
   • Type the domain name registered on purchase into the Brand name field. The brand name will be displayed at the top of the Operations and Billing login pages.

   • Select IP type:

     • Shared IP: a public IP address that is already used or can be used by other services.

     • Exclusive IP: a public IP address that can be used only for branding purposes.

       Warning: Exclusive IP addresses are not supported. It is a deprecated option.

   • URL suffix: to define the UX1 for Customers URL, type a suffix that will be added to your domain. For example, if your domain is www.mydomain.com and you enter x as a suffix, the UX1 for Customers URL will be www.mydomain.com/x/. The default value is cp.

     Note: By default, the control panel URL is automatically created with the /cp/ suffix, for example: www.mydomain.com/cp/.

   • From the Skin list, select a skin to be used in your control panels.
   • In the Custom Logo field, provide the location of the logotype file that will be attached to your website. If you leave the field blank, the default logo will be used.
   • In the Favicon field, select favicon to be used. If you leave the field blank, the default favicon will be used.
   • SSL Certificate can be set by uploading an SSL certificate file.
   • SSL Key can be set by uploading an SSL key file.
5. Click Finish to finish creating new brand.

Setting the Default Brand that Will Be Used for Customer Accounts You Create

When a customer subscribes to a service plan on one of your branded websites, they complete account information and an account is automatically created for them. The account is automatically linked to the corresponding domain URL.

When you create a customer yourself in the classic Provider or Reseller Control Panel, the customer account is linked to the default brand.

To set a brand as default so that it applies to customers you create in the Provider Control Panel:

1. For the necessary brand in the list of brands, click Set as default in the Default column.
2. In the confirmation pop-up, confirm your choice.

UX1 for Customers URL

To view the UX1 for Customers URL:

1. Click the necessary brand in the list.
2. Copy the value of Secure access URL.

Important: Do not remove brands already created by Billing on Operations side after the initial reseller configuration.
