I am no stranger to WHMCS and have used it for many years, except for the past year and a half so sort of behind on the actual functionality. I am looking to start a new venture and although much has changed about WHMCS it doesn't appear that the list of "Provisioning Modules" have grown much. Although I am sure over time the existing and some of the new modules have had improved functionality and stability, which would explain this. But I am looking for the long run.
Although I personally know that it does come down to personal preference and depends on what exactly I am trying to accomplish. So I am aware I may not get the answer I am looking for but I am confident that it would allow me to decide how to move forward.
Some things I am looking to for and wondering if there are plans to implement these in the near future are the following: (Please let me know if any similar functionality may exist that I may have over looked in the documentation)
1. Ability to sell specialized Services, for example but not limited to:
A. DNS hosting:
- In the list of supported modules I didn't see the mention of supporting a DNS system such as CPANEL DNS to allow me to sell purely DNS services for my clients.
B. Hosting Account with Preinstalled scripts (Either via Fantastico, softaculous, or other method)
- So basically if a client purchases a "Wordpress Hosting Account" from me, the account has wordpress already preinstalled when it is created for the user. Providing them the necessary information in the email template to access it.
2. Closer integration with actual Hypervisors instead of commercial programs used to sell them:
- Allowing the ability to sells VPS accounts on systems such as Proxmox, VMWare, XenServer, Xen Cloud Platform, CloudStack, etc.. Without needing to utilize something like SolusVM.
3. Providing the ability to sell items such as dedicated servers:
A. Ability to bill for specialized resources such as bandwidth based on the 95th percentile, etc. Maybe perhaps integrating technologies such as Observium or Cacti into the client area.
B. SNMP integration to allow clients and staff to enable/disable switch ports and PDU outlets from within WHMCS.
I understand that most of the above would probably not be integrated into the core, and might be available as add-ons.. This is perfectly fine with me. I just want to avoid 3rd party WHM developers because I purchased a few scripts from active developers who seemed to vanish months later and I don't want to be stuck with unsupported products.
Apologies for my long email, but thank you in advance for any comments, replies, and steps towards the right direction. .
