Suspending a downstream reseller safely

Understand the wider impact of suspending a reseller that has customer accounts beneath it.

Suspending a reseller can affect the reseller and potentially the accounts they own, depending on the Master platform. Understand the scope before acting.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the reseller username and reason for suspension.
  2. Check whether the panel will suspend only reseller access or also downstream cPanel accounts.
  3. Record the action and customer communication in your billing/support system.
  4. Suspend using the Master panel rather than manually altering individual accounts unless instructed.
  5. When reactivating, verify both WHM access and a sample downstream site.
Important

For abuse or security incidents, suspension may be urgent, but preserve enough information to investigate what happened. For billing, follow your documented grace/suspension policy.

Checks and troubleshooting

If downstream accounts remain suspended after the reseller is restored, check their individual status and open a HostLaunch ticket if the Master panel state is inconsistent.
