Setting Up Your Custom Branding

One of the key benefits of the Data Mammoth Reseller Program is the ability to present hosting services under your own brand. Your clients interact with a portal that features your company name, logo, and colors — creating a seamless, professional experience. This guide walks you through the branding setup process.

Accessing Branding Settings

Log in to your Data Mammoth reseller dashboard.

Navigate to Reseller Settings > Branding or White Label.

You will see the customization options for your client portal.

Branding Elements You Can Customize

Company Name

Enter the name of your hosting business. This appears throughout the client portal, including:

• Login page header
• Dashboard navigation
• Invoice headers
• Email notifications sent to your clients
• Browser tab title

Logo

Upload your company logo in the supported formats:

• Primary logo — Used in the header, login page, and dashboard. Recommended dimensions vary (check your dashboard for specific requirements). Use a transparent PNG for best results.
• Favicon — The small icon that appears in browser tabs. Typically 32x32 or 64x64 pixels.

Tips for logo upload:

• Use a high-resolution image that scales well.
• Transparent backgrounds work best with different color themes.
• Test how your logo looks on both light and dark backgrounds.

Brand Colors

Customize the color scheme of your client portal:

• Primary color — Used for buttons, links, and accent elements. Choose a color that matches your brand identity.
• Secondary color — Used for secondary UI elements and highlights.
• Background color — The main background color of the portal.
• Text color — Ensure sufficient contrast with your background for readability.

Enter colors as hex codes (e.g., #1a73e8 for a blue, #333333 for dark gray).

Email Templates

Customize the automated emails sent to your clients:

• From name — Your company name instead of Data Mammoth.
• From email — Your company email address (requires domain verification).
• Email header/footer — Add your logo and company information.
• Email content — Some email templates may allow text customization.

Custom Terms and Policies

Link to your own:

• Terms of Service
• Privacy Policy
• Acceptable Use Policy

These links appear in the client portal footer and during registration.

Branding Best Practices

Consistency — Use the same logo, colors, and tone across your portal, website, and marketing materials.

Professional appearance — A clean, well-branded portal builds trust with clients.

Readability — Ensure text colors have sufficient contrast with background colors (aim for WCAG AA compliance).

Mobile testing — Check how your branding looks on mobile devices, as many clients access portals from their phones.

Regular updates — If you rebrand or update your logo, update the portal promptly.

Connecting Your Custom Domain

For the most professional appearance, serve your client portal from your own domain (e.g., hosting.yourcompany.com). See Configuring Your Custom Domain for setup instructions.
