WHMCS integration

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 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.

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.

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.

There are many VPS host control panels, but there are only a few that can truly achieve multi-user management, DNS resolution system and domain name mailbox. A few days ago, I shared the VestaCP installation and use tutorial and the VestaCP and WHMCS integration tutorial. Many people Start to know the power of VestaCP control panel, which is the best alternative to Cpanel.

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.
