WHMCS Developer WHMCS Andrew Posted January 23, 2008 WHMCS Developer Share Posted January 23, 2008 in WHM you can setup packages and set addon domains to 1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vj135 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 in WHM you can setup packages and set addon domains to 1 So the sequence of events should be: 1) Customers buys package. 2) WHMCS automatically assigns user name and password for customers cpanel etc. 3) So before i send customer the user name and password i have to configure WHM. This is my first customer, so please be patient while i ask this very imp question: I was able to login to my WHM cPanel reseller account. so my understanding is that i have set it up before i email him the user name and password for cpanel -- i have to do this manually for each customer? thanks vijay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vj135 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 is there a way to connect WHMCS to WHM? update: actually its already setup. But coming to the first question again --- how do restrict the user to one domain Only for a particular package and also when should i do it? thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS Developer WHMCS Andrew Posted January 23, 2008 WHMCS Developer Share Posted January 23, 2008 You use the cPanel server setup, that is the WHM server setup. The access hash for cPanel is obtained from WHM and the packages are setup in WHM first and used in your products in WHMCS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uberhost Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 1) setup packages in whm and only then setup packages in WHMCS ^ That is correct. Set it up in WHM, then in WHMCS. In the server setup you only need to refer to the package name that you set up in WHM. You do not put any other details in the boxes below the package name as the info is already in WHM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rick, Which of the following below (this is the list in WHM -- adding packages )should i designate as = 1 -- so that only one single domain can be used? Max Sub Domains Max Parked Domains Max Addon Domains thanks vijay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vj135 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 I am thinking it has to be Max parked domain which if = 1 means customer can have only 1 main domain. sub domains i understand something like http://www.subdomain.CNN.com what is an addon domain? please answer both questions. Thanks all for your patience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vj135 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Also when i try to create a package name "Bronze" in WHM it names it "anmoltec_Bronze" anmoltec is my username for my reseller account. My question now is will i have to name my packages in WHMCS as "anmoltec_Bronze"? and what will my customers see the package name as ? thanks vj 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonO Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The package name has to have your username prefix as well as it's name, so like you said - anmoltec_Bronze I don't think the customer's see their package name in WHMCS, but in cPanel it shows without the prefix I believe (so in your case just Bronze). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, your customers will see only then Bronze in Cpanel as Package name. Gr, Tom 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonO Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 An add-on domain is a domain that points to a folder within a website, but is not merely a redirect to it - wikipedia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vj135 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 An add-on domain is a domain that points to a folder within a website, but is not merely a redirect to it - wikipedia and if i wanted the user to use Only 1 domain in his hosting account , in my case the bronze package should i say then : Parked Domain = 1 ? Also for my other packages((Silver, Gold and Platinum) if i wanted to assign usage of un-limited number of domains should i say: Parked Domain = **** what number should i put here ** ? thanks very much vj 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonO Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Well I would think 0. A cPanel account with a domain to it already shows having 0 Parked Domains and 0 Addon Domains. Having 1 will then let them park another one I would think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckh Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 A parked domain simply parks another domain on top of the main one. If you have yourdomain.com as the main domain and add a parked domain, mydomain.com, then either one will show the same thing when you type it in your browser. Addon domain adds another 'website' by putting it in a subdirectory. This subdirectory becomes the document root. So, if you have yourdomain.com as your main domain, your document root is the public_html folder. If you add mydomain.com as an addon and specify mydomain as the subdirectory for it, then when you type mydomain.com in your browser, then the contents of public_html/mydomain is going to be displayed. It will look like a completely different website to the visitor. Since yourdomain.com has the document root of public_html, you'd be able to display the contents of in public_html/mydomain but not vice versa. A subdomain uses the domain name and prepends it with something. If you have a directory called members, you can create a subdomain for this so that access can be gained by either: http://yourdomain.com/members or http://members.yourdomain.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if i wanted to have my "Platinum hosting package" to have "un-limited" domains -- what do i put -- i am guessing i just have to put some number like 100 -- realistically no one would actually have 100 websites running anways. do please let me know TIA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vj135 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 After creating hosting packages --- do i still need to manually ** create an account **for the customer or is that automatically done after customer has paid the invoice? thanks very much for answering all my newbee questions vj 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allynne Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Can someone confirm this?

I believe that Parked Domains is a separate value because CPanel handle them differently from AddOn Domains in that your customer cannot actually upload their website and will always show your 'Parked Page' HTML. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
