WHMCS integrates VPS.net to automatically activate a VPS host tutorial - sell VPS servers on WHMCS

Last time I shared how WHMCS integrates Vultr to automatically activate the VPS host. Many friends left messages asking if there are any plug-ins for WHMCS to integrate Linode and Digitalocean. After carefully checking the documentation, WHMCS does provide plug-ins for Linode and Digitalocean to automatically sell and activate VPS, but they are expensive, hundreds of dollars each. However, the official website of VPS.net provides a WHMCS docking plug-in, and it is free. It is also very powerful in terms of functions. It is basically equivalent to the VPS host control panel of VPS.net, including VPS reinstallation, shutdown, restart, upgrade, password change, etc. In addition, you can also sell VPS.net independent servers, which is almost half a VPS server vendor. The VPS host price of VPS.net is more expensive than that of Vultr, but VPS.net has more than a dozen computer rooms to choose from, and there are also add-ons such as snapshots, synchronization, and Cpanel panels. All functions can be realized in WHMCS, and the functions are very powerful. The most important thing is that the integration plug-in launched by VPS.net is very compatible with WHMCS and no bugs have been found.

5. Summary

It is relatively simple for WHMCS to integrate VPS.net. This is mainly due to the power of the WHMCS plug-in developed by VPS.net itself. No problems were found during the integration process. What's even more powerful is that WHMCS can also directly open a dedicated server on VPS.net, and you can use this to sell dedicated servers. However, it is a pity that currently WHMCS can only integrate the cloud VPS of VPS.net. Its SSD VPS is actually quite cheap. The price is only US$5 a month, while the cloud host costs at least US$20 a month, which is relatively high. , there is no price advantage when selling, maybe it’s just that there are more options in the computer room.
