WIS hosting Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The accounts and domainnames of my clients are automaticly created after the first payment is received. For almost all packages this is working fine. And for all domainnames it is working fine. But I have one problem. I offer a small webhosting account for free and for the domainname they have to pay. So the domainname is created after the payment is received. But the hostingpackage is not created automaticly. I think this is because I offer it for free..... I don't want to create the packages after the clients place the order. Or create them manually. So does anyone have a option for me to create it automaticly. But still keep it for free?? I am using version 4.1.2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehost5968 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 As long as you have these setting set then it will work: 1, Tick to show domain registration options 2, Tick Automatically setup the product as soon as the first payment is received 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIS hosting Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yes, but all my hosting packages which clients have to pay for they are automaticly setup. And only the free package is not automaticly setup. I have all the settings the same as the other packages. My conclusion was that free hostingpackages are not setup automaticly because they are not paid for. So not on the invoice. But they are visible in the order...... When I look at the order, then is only the domainregistration executed and the hostingpackage still pending. Strange.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyhosting Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 when you create a package in the pricing area make sure free is checked and this plan will be free and then follow what thehost5968 says and it should all work automatically. But being honest i would not offer free accounts, this attracts spammers etc to use your services and if you look at your server providers terms that you will most likely see that free hosting is not allowed, as more and more are not allowing free hosting to be given on their servers as these do cause problems on servers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS Support Manager WHMCS John Posted February 10, 2010 WHMCS Support Manager Share Posted February 10, 2010 Which auto-setup option have you selected on the module settings tab? "On First Payment" obviously won't work for a free product as no payment is ever received, so you'll need to use the "Instantly on Order" option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIS hosting Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 I offer free webhosting. But clients have to pay for the domainname. John> I don't want to use Instantly on Order, because people sometimes look at it and then decide not to pay and then I have to remove those packages from the server again. Is it possible to do a workaround on the On first Payment option?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi A client may already have a domain, but no matter if they do pay for a domain name the hosting is FREE and this is what a majority of server providers wont allow. all hosting needs a domain, so they order a domain and pay and then get free hosting, then they suddenly start sending out spam through this account. I guaranteed 1 of 2 things will happen. 1) your server provider (VPS/DED) will either suspend or more likely terminate the offending account and may do this to you. 2) the datacentre will suspend ther server and then your server provider will demand and costs to get this back up from you. Most will have something like this "No Free Hosting allowed. You are not allowed to give away hosting in exchange for advertising or just to be friendly. This includes post to host!! If you want to give an account to a family member or friend, that is fine.....(let us know) we are talking about advertising to the public and offering a free hosting account to anyone that signs up. This is an invitation for people that will abuse the system resources. This includes penny hosting and other ways to try and get around this rule. If we feel you are offering services that put the rest of the customers on your server in jeopardy, your account will be suspended or terminated." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
