Hi, Im a customer of bluehost and I want my family to have access to my hosting. But I dont want them to login with the same login details as me. Is it possible to host more then one Cpanel on my current account? So my family can access my hosting, but with different login details and wont have access to my files/database etc. If I give my family access to my cpanel, I would'nt have any privacy and my hosted files/databases would be able to be edited by them. I try'ed using ftp accounts but that will limit features then.


So what I want is to have 1 extra cpanel for my family members to access and use. (This cpanel can only be accessed by password and can not be changed, edited, viewed or password reseted via main cpanel with out the password the my familys account)


So both cpanels are not combined in any way so no data/files can be viewed from separate cpanels without a password. The cpanel for my famaily is powered by my hosting.

Is their anyway this can be done?

Thanks.

To be able to set that up you need a reseller hosting account. That is a type of account that BlueHost does not offer.

The closest you can get to that with shared hosting is to set up a sparate FTP login so that they only have access to upload to their own folder and to install your own copy of phpMyAdmin that just gives them access to their own database.

With the ftp accounts im unsure how to set up, can you give me a link which can assist me? (I dont want the cpanel to have access to to change the password/quota or modify/view the ftp without the password)

and for the phpmyadmin aswell please (does it only support php?)
