Dear WHMCS

I am very new on hosting business. Soon my hosting company will start up and i have no idea how can i sell domain names + hosting plans together.

 

When a customer want to register domain and also want to purchase hosting which steps do i have to follow?

 

I read your tutorials and figured out that there is settings for domain registrar. I am going to use opensrs.

 

So, if i customer pick a domain and also hosting plan and hit the submit button. is WHMCS follows those steps?

1 - WHMCS check for domain prices which i configure in settings area.

2 - Check for availability in domain registrar.

3 - Ff it is okay then...

4 - Use payment gateway which i set up gateway for transfer amount.

5 - Check for server machines and assign purchased domain into available server.

6 - Create place for it and copy necessary files into there.

7 - Send account information to customer.

 

Is this correct? If not, could you please explain me step by step operation.

 

My hosting company is almost ready to run but i have no idea what do i have to do...

Yup, that's pretty much it.

if you don't have any experience with the hosting bussines then you must to have an employees & staff to manage your servers, help your customers in solving any problem.

 

or you can order a managed server from any provider

I would agree with this.

preferably directly from a datacenter rather from any provider.

 

it would be wise to do your research and ping the network's latency to your location.

 

also go for a dedicated system if it fits your budget.

 

this might help narrow down your provider options.

 

hope it helps.
