Automatic VPS Creation

[MikeP104]

Hi All,

 

New to the forums, and a couple of quick questions before I test...

 

Firstly, it is my understanding from the threads that I have read that a new account and server can be created automatically when someone signs up, based on the settings in Setup etc. That I have seen from the demo. Could someone confirm that this understanding is correct.

 

Secondly, and my main question, is I want VPSs set up automatically, if possible both Linux and Windows, however, getting Windows VPS running is my main priority. That is, I want the new VPS set up without any human input as soon as the first payment is made. Is this possible?

 

If i need to clarify anything or you need more details please just say.

 

Cheers,

M

Welcome to the forums

 

Firstly, it is my understanding from the threads that I have read that a new account and server can be created automatically when someone signs up, based on the settings in Setup etc. That I have seen from the demo. Could someone confirm that this understanding is correct.

This is typically correct, however is fully dependant of the module you use.

i.e. whmcs has a cpanel module that allows you to sign clients up and automatically provision their account on the cpanel server.

This works for many services however does rely on a module for WHMCS

 

Secondly, and my main question, is I want VPSs set up automatically, if possible both Linux and Windows, however, getting Windows VPS running is my main priority. That is, I want the new VPS set up without any human input as soon as the first payment is made. Is this possible?

Yes this is possible and there are in fact a few solutions for this. Typically you will have a server with VPS management software and have that software's corresponding module in WHMCS. You would then be able to create VPS templates and allow WHMCS to set these template up for your clients when they sign up.

 

There are a few modules referenced on the documentation (http://wiki.whmcs.com/Server_Modules):

 

HyperVM

FluidVM

SolusVM

Cloudmin

VPS.Net

 

To add to this list I would also like to mention another product that I know has a WHMCS module:

 

Virtualizor

 

Whilst I could recommend two of the above products, I would suggest that you review them all and then ask people of their experience with some of them (at this point I'd be more than happy to suggest the two I personally like). This way you will be able to make an informed decision based on your exact needs without being bias from the word go.

Hi egs,

 

Thanks for your swift and thorough reply. I will take some time reviewing those modules and maybe come back to the thread for more opinion and probably questions!
