cPanel/WHM – WHMCS Integration

cPanel/WHM – WHMCS Integration

cPanel is essentially the most extensively used management panel on the planet, offering a user-friendly interface to manage websites and settings easily. If you are starting a hosting business, it would be beneficial to integrate your cPanel server with WHMCS, enabling you to automate every task effortlessly. With WHMCS, you can automate bill generation, payment reminders, and all other billing areas with just a few clicks. When integrated with your cPanel server, you can automate tasks such as creating or suspending cPanel accounts. The main features of cPanel-WHMCS integration include:

1) Creation of cPanel hosting accounts

2) Suspending/unsuspending cPanel hosting accounts

3) Terminating cPanel hosting accounts

4) Changing hosting packages

5) Updating passwords

6) Usage updates

7) User area links

Now let’s take a look at the steps to integrate cPanel/WHM with WHMCS:

1) The first step is to add a cPanel server in WHMCS for cPanel products. To do this, log in to WHMCS as an admin user and go to ‘Setup > Products/Services > Servers’ and click on ‘Add New Server’.

Enter the server name, IP address, and select the server type as ‘cPanel’ on the new interface. Also, enter the WHM username in the username field and the password in the password field.

2) If you prefer not to use a password, you can authenticate the cPanel server through an API key. To generate the API key, log in to WHM and go to Development >> Manage API Tokens.
