Marketing website — sell hosting from your own domain
Nimbopanel gives you a ready-made marketing website for your hosting business: a landing page, standalone pages, a blog, and a pricing section wired straight to the plans you sell — so you can take customers without building a separate site. You edit it in the panel under Marketing (a reseller edits theirs under Selling → Website).
This is for the hosting business you sell to your customers. Nimbopanel itself is the software vendor, so nimbopanel.com is a separate storefront — this feature is not it.
What is on the site
- A landing page — hero, feature highlights, a pricing section pulled live from your Billing plans, and an FAQ.
- Standalone pages at
/p/<slug>(an About or Terms page, server-rendered and indexable). - A blog with an RSS feed.
- Your brand: name, logo, accent colour, a template (Classic / Bold / Minimal), a light/dark/auto theme, and the site language.
- Optionally a domain-search box in the hero that offers domains for sale, once a registrar is configured.
A setup wizard walks you through the essentials the first time.
How it is served — four modes
On the Marketing card you choose how the site is published:
- None — no public marketing site (the default).
/home,/pand/blogreturn 404. - Built-in — served on the panel's own
/homeaddress. Good for trying it out with nothing to set up. - External — you keep a site elsewhere; the panel just redirects to your URL.
- Publish to my domain — the powerful option. The panel creates a hosting
account on your own apex domain (
yourbrand.com) and generates a static site into it. You own those files outright and could even replace them with WordPress later. HTTPS is issued automatically once the domain points here.
Publishing, and the "Republish now" signal
When you publish to your own domain, the live site is a static snapshot — the prices, plans and content are baked into the files at the moment you click Publish. That keeps the public site fast and independent, but it means a change you make in the panel does not appear on the live site until you publish again.
So the panel tracks it for you. It fingerprints everything a visitor can see — prices, plans, features, content, brand, logo — and when that no longer matches what is live, the Marketing card shows an amber "Republish now" badge. Click Publish again and the live site is rebuilt to match; the badge clears.
A site published before this tracking existed needs one manual Publish to adopt it. Until you publish once, the badge may not appear even after you change a price — so if a price looks stale on your live site, publish once and it will track from then on.
This is also why a price you changed in Billing can look wrong on the apex while being correct in the checkout: the card is the old snapshot, the checkout is live. Republishing brings them back into line.
Checkout on your own domain
Signup and checkout can run on your own domain rather than sending visitors
off to panel.yourdomain.com. A visitor stays on yourbrand.com the whole way
through browsing a plan, signing up and paying.
Only the public checkout surface is proxied onto your domain — the signup page, the plan/checkout/return endpoints, the storefront brand and domain search, and static assets. Everything else — the admin panel, the login, the app itself — is deliberately not exposed on your marketing domain, so your storefront domain never serves the control panel.
Nothing to configure by hand: publishing the site wires this up. The only thing you provide is the apex domain and its DNS pointing at the server.
Resellers
A reseller has the same feature under Selling → Website, publishing their brand and their plans to their domain, with the same "Republish now" signal. A reseller's marketing site is theirs alone; your built-in pages and blog are yours and are not exposed on a reseller's domain.
