Credit Card Processing
H-Sphere automatically performs all charges to your customers' credit cards for the services you offer. All you need to do is choose and configure a merchant gateway.

Whenever necessary, H-Sphere will send your customers welcome letters and other notifications. You can also have copies of these e-mails sent to your e-mail account. Notifications are sent when a customer signs up, forgets a password, approaches disk or traffic limit to name just a few instances. The content of the notifications is editable by master admin and resellers right from the control panel.


Fully Automated Account Provisioning
Customers can use their control panel to switch between available plans, buy more disk space or traffic, register domains, add dns entries, create e-mail and FTP accounts, create directories, etc.

Multiple skins for users (plus six skins added by DIYHosting!)
Customers can choose between multiple designs:
- Default Left Menu design with menu-based navigation;
- XPressia and XPressia Light design with an unfolding navigation menu;
- No Menu design with icon-based navigation.
Moreover, you can set your own scheme and color settings: choose icon set, text and button colors and more.


Multiple accounts per one user
H-Sphere provides a three-tier system of accounts. The first tier is the user, which corresponds to a Unix or Windows account. The second tier is the account proper; this is what counts when you pay for H-Sphere licenses. One user can have several accounts, which allows a user to subscribe both to a Windows plan and to a Unix plan. The third tier is the domain, which corresponds to one site. A user can host several sites within one account.


Ability to change account settings
From their control panels, users can change their plan, billing period, billing profile, disk quota and traffic.


User friendly invoice format
The readability of user invoices has been significantly improved. Invoices contain explanations to almost every item they are charged for.


Complete set of web hosting tools
User control panel comes with a complete range of tools a customer may need to create, configure, launch, and promote a website. These include:
- SiteStudio website builder;
- WebShell, a web-based file manager;
- web statistics analyzers: Webalizer, AWStats and ModLogan;
- Kanoodle website promotion tool;
- a password protection utility;
- website registration with major search engines.

MySQL, MS SQL and PostgreSQL hosting
Users can create and manage databases on your server from any computer with internet connection. Access to the databases can be shared with other internet users, each with a different set of permissions for every database.


No domain hosting
Users can register accounts without domains.


Sub-domains with functionalities of regular domains
Subdomains in H-Sphere are as powerful as regular domains. They support the same services and can be hosted on dedicated IPs.


Shared and Anonymous FTP Access
Users can share access to their home directory with friends, relatives and colleagues. Permissions to each directory can be configured individually for every FTP user.
H-Sphere also allows for anonymous FTP access to individual directories. This comes handy when a user chooses to allow unrestricted access to certain files using FTP connection.


Error Document management
H-Sphere significantly simplifies the procedure of creating and configuring HTML error documents that are shown to internet visitors when a page fails to be found or to be displayed correctly.

Users can install and uninstall generic CGI scripts in their accounts with a single mouse click in the control panel.
