New Product versus new Control Panel Login


Mark Donne

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

We have recently started to use WHMCS and are currently in the "playing" stage.

 

We have just noticed that if a Customer has more than 1 hosting product then a control panel login is created PER product. Is this right????

 

If it is, then are we saying that for every web hosting account the system generates a unique control panel login will be created?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Control Panel Login - when you say this do you mean for the web hosting itself (eg cPanel etc), or do you mean the Client area in WHMCS to manage invoices and support tickets etc.

 

When someone purchases web hosting, it requires them to register a client account, or log in with one they already have. For each hosting package they then buy is given it's own part of the server with it's own cPanel login etc.

 

Hopefully that helps you :)

Thanks for the helpful reply Jason.

 

We have used our own internally built system for the last 8 years where our clients have 1 Control panel login which could have multiple hosting packages tied to it, each hosting package could have multiple ftp accounts, but its all tied to the same control panel login.

 

I think we are getting a little confused as we envisaged a client having 1 login to maintain everything in the control panel (DotNetPanel for us).

 

In our current system a client can purchase a new hosting package which creates a new ftp user and password and creates the IIS website but is still tied to the same control panel login.

 

I guess we need to put a little more thought into how we construct our packages.

 

Tell me, if a user "upgrades" their web hosting package in WHM does it create a new control panel login or does it simply adjust the package? This might be a way around it for us.

Not sure about your control panel system, but in cPanel it modifies the package the account is on - changing it's package spec automaticly.

 

I would think it would do the same in all the control panel system's that support it.

Yep it works in DotNetPanel as well (just tried it) which is a relief.

 

Can the end user upgrade their account themselves through WHM? Its a shame the Addons are not linked to the Control panel, we can add add-ons in WHM and also in our DotNetPanel but there is no way of linking them :(
