northgate Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi, I'm looking into offering email account hosting to my customers I was wondering if this service can be handled by whmcs. I would like customers to be able to register a domain, once register they would then have the option to purchase various email account packages. The process of connecting the domain to the email (also creating) accounts should also be automated. Anyone know if this can be done with whmcs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 northgate Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 thanks for the quick reply. Is there any documentation on configuring the automatic connection of domain names to email hosting accounts? Also where can I find additional information about email accounts management e.g. ensure that DNS records are set for mail delivery, email accounts created/deleted etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an e-mail only package, one shouldn't forget to remove FTP access for such an account as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 northgate Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks for the response guys I've spent the past few hours from my first post to now doing research. I've contact cPanel/WHM and I was told by their staff that they would not recommend me using cPanel/WHM since I will be deploying it on Amazon EC2. So I've switch my attention to Virtualmin Pro. Any one have experience in using the two together? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WHMCS JamesX Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) It can be a pain in the arse to get cPanel properly configured on EC2, but it's doable though. At its simplest, you need to use the EIPs for DNS zones and the PIPs for Apache. There's a free AMI available with CentOS 6.3 (64-bit) and cPanel...
