Registeration of just a subdomain (similar to shopify)

[James1236]

Hello,

I'd like to know if it were possible to offer customers the option to register an account via WHMCS, purchase hosting using directadmin or another hosting panel supported by WHMCS and the customer can choose the subdomain of the host during registration? just like myshopify.com? So for example if WHMCS is hosted at mywebsite.com - and a customer where to purchase hosting and not wish to purchase their own domain, they could select something like: website.mywebsite.com and this would have it's own WHMCS & cpanel or directadmin account just for the subdomain. Is this possible? is there a work around for something like this?

Thanks.
James

The Subdomain Options under the Other tab when creating a hosting product will help with this: https://docs.whmcs.com/Products_and_Services#Other

Hello,

Thanks for the information.

In order for this to work correctly, would I need to do anything differently with the DNS on the domain WHMCS is installed?

Would this still work if the directadmin account is setup on a different server then the one WHMCS is installed on? (different IP etc...)

Thanks.

You may want to install WHMCS in a different location from where the hosted websites are anyway. The integration with your DirectAdmin server is leveraging the API so this can be anywhere.
