WHMCS<\/b> is the most popular billing and automation platform in web hosting. Utilized by thousands of hosts, this solution allows providers to easily <\/span>create accounts<\/b>, <\/span>allocate resources<\/b>, <\/span>activate extras<\/b>, and many more. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a customer level, at <\/span>ScalaHosting<\/b>, we rely on our own innovative products. <\/span>SPanel<\/b><\/a> is our streamlined platform for hosting management, one that allows clients to easily navigate around their accounts. The robust control panel is very lightweight but still packed with features that help with <\/span>emails<\/b>, <\/span>domain names<\/b>, <\/span>DNS records<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>website files<\/b>, <\/span>databases<\/b>, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you have a great opportunity to combine the two – introducing the <\/span>WHMCS SPanel Provisioning module<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the WHMCS SPanel Provisioning Module?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With this add-on, you can avoid any manual work involved in <\/span>creating\/suspending\/terminating SPanel accounts<\/b>, <\/span>changing passwords<\/b>, <\/span>upgrading\/downgrading services<\/b>, and others. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This integration is ideal for providers and resellers that are looking to automate every stage of the hosting journey. Instead of wasting precious time in account management, they can safely leave those tasks to the provisioning module and focus on other aspects of their business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Set Up the WHMCS SPanel Provisioning Module?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Configuring WHMCS and SPanel for automatic account provisioning is actually quite easy and <\/span>doesn\u2019t require any previous technical experience<\/b>.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you need to download the module. You can do so from this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download and unzip the archive in your main WHMCS folder, where your \/modules<\/strong> folder resides. Once complete, you should be able to see the SPanel folder inside your \/modules\/servers<\/strong> directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once that’s up and running, we can split the rest of the process into three distinct stages:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding a New Server<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From a provider\u2019s standpoint, before we can add and modify any accounts, we need to<\/span> first set up a server and integrate it with the SPanel API<\/b>. Here are the steps:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to WHMCS and choose <\/span>System Settings<\/b> -> <\/span>Servers<\/b>. You will see the option <\/span>Add New Server<\/b> inside.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select <\/span>SPanel <\/b>from the module dropdown.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Now, you need to enter your server’s IP address in the <\/span>Hostname or IP Address<\/b> field.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Enter your SPanel login URL inside the <\/span>Username <\/b>field. This should be either <\/span>spanel <\/i><\/b>or <\/span>hostpanel<\/i><\/b>, depending on if you have the branding URL enabled in your SPanel admin panel.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The next step is to input your <\/span>SPanel API access token<\/b> in the <\/span>Access Hash<\/b> field.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Click <\/span>Test Connection<\/b> and if everything is set up correctly – you will get the <\/span>Add Server configuration page<\/b>. This is where you add the <\/span>Name <\/b>and <\/span>Hostname <\/b>for your server.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

      Creating a New Group<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Now that we have our server, it\u2019s time to create a new product group. The operation is extremely simplified:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Go to <\/span>System Settings<\/b> and choose <\/span>Servers<\/b>. You will see the option <\/span>Create New Group<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Enter a <\/span>Name <\/b>for your group.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Select the name of the server you just created and click <\/span>Add<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Hit the<\/span> Save Changes<\/b> button.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Creating a New Product<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        We are now on the last step – it\u2019s time to create our product. Here is how to do that:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Go to <\/span>System Settings<\/b>, choose <\/span>Products\/Services<\/b>, and select the <\/span>Create a New Product<\/b> option.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Select <\/span>Shared Hosting<\/b> from the <\/span>Product Type<\/b> field.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Now, choose your previously created product group from the <\/span>Product Group<\/b> menu.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Input the <\/span>Product Name<\/b> you wish to use for this product.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Select <\/span>SPanel <\/b>from the <\/span>Module <\/b>selection field.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Once you click the <\/span>Continue <\/b>button, you will be directed to the <\/span>Edit Product<\/b> page.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Click on the <\/span>Module Settings <\/b>tab and select <\/span>SPanel <\/b>from the <\/span>Module Name<\/b> menu. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Find the server group you created in the previous step in the <\/span>Server Group<\/b> drop-down.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Inside the <\/span>Select Package<\/b> field, you will see all existing packages in the default SPanel server and the selected server group. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            IMPORTANT:<\/b> If you don\u2019t have any existing packages, you can create some from your SPanel admin interface and get back to this step later.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

            \n
            \"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Save <\/b>the changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              That\u2019s all there is to it! You now have the WHMCS SPanel Provisioning Module and can easily automate all your server account operations. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
