WHMCS Tutorial

WHMCS is a very easy-to-use financial management system. Except for a few foreign VPS hosting companies that have developed their own financial systems, most hosting companies (such as classic VPS) use WHMCS. WHMCS can be used to sell hosts, domain names, space, etc., as well as accounts, virtual downloads, certificates, etc. But if WHMCS is used in China, one of the biggest problems is the WHMCS payment gateway problem. WHMCS comes with Paypal, but gateway interfaces such as Alipay and WeChat need to be developed before they can be accessed.

WHMCS is a very powerful financial sales system. Last time I shared the server virtualization panel SolusVM. WHMCS+SolusVM can be used to automatically activate VPS hosts. However, the premise is that you need your own server, and SolusVM is a paid software, and the starting cost is relatively high.

WHMCS is a very popular financial system, and Cpanel/WHM is a classic and powerful host management panel. Friends who often buy foreign hosts should be familiar with WHMCS+Cpanel/WHM, such as Eagle host and Crocodile host. , bluehost, Dreamhost, etc. adopt such a structure.

I believe everyone has used WHMCS. Foreign host providers basically use WHMCS to manage the sales of host domain names, and WHMCS authorization is not expensive. It can be used with various panels such as VPS, independent servers, domain names, and virtual hosts. Easy to integrate, as long as you want to enter the IDC industry, WHMCS is essential.

SolusVM has been shared before in the server virtualization panel SolusVM installation and use. This foreign powerful VPS host management and control system mainly allows you to virtualize VPS hosts from independent servers for different users, and SolusVM can also be used with With WHMCS and other integrations, everyone has seen that Chinese VPS on the market is basically this combination.

WHMCS is a very powerful financial management system. Since I used WHMCS to connect SolusVM when building its cloud host, I found that I encountered many problems when using WHMCS. The first problem is that WHMCS switches to SMTP for sending letters. By default, you can use PHP of WHMCS to send letters, but most of the letters sent are thrown into the trash by major mail providers.

Recently, because I launched WHMCS, I suddenly discovered that WHMCS basically realizes most of the online sales tasks of small webmasters. I originally thought of using the WordPress online sales plug-in "Easy Digital Downloads" to create a WP-based virtual item sales platform, but I found that if It's actually easier to use WHMCS.

WHMCS and Cpanel are actually a pair and have been used in practice by major hosting providers. They also work best together. However, many other host panels have also developed WHMCS interfaces, which can enable self-service activation of virtual hosts and sales of host space products like WHMCS+Cpanel.
