Question

Installing Cpanel/WHM to resell hosting through a wordpress site and WHMCS.

I am having trouble nailing this down. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I want to start a small hosting company for the clients that i add to my web design agency, so that customers play a flat rate for hosting, design, maintanence, etc. Ideally, I would like to use DO droplets for my projects. How should i go about setting this up?

I’ve installed Cpanel/WHM on an CentOS droplet i created. But for the life of me, i can not figure out how to set custom nameservers with a domain i purchased from GoDaddy.

From my understanding, in Cpanel, i would create an account for the Wordpress page i want to sell hosting. Then in that Cpanel, i would install wordpress, and WHMCS on a subdomain. But when i do this, my pages do not show when typing in mydomain.com/wp-admin

Im confused. Im wondering if anybody has come across a guide for setting up Cpanel/WHM on a cpanel.mydomain.com subdomain, then installing wordpress on the main mydomain.com url to display info, then install WHMCS on a billing.mydomain.com subdomain.

Everything i have typed may be confusing, and i apologize. My goal is to setup a web hosting site to resell hosting of my DO droplet, since i can’t use a different droplet for different customers.

I think I can help clear some of this up…

I’ve installed Cpanel/WHM on an CentOS droplet i created. But for the life of me, i can not figure out how to set custom nameservers with a domain i purchased from GoDaddy.

Your cPanel installation includes a DNS server (running only 1 isn’t recommended and cPanel offers a free DNS-only license to set up a secondary that will automatically sync with your main WHM server). On GoDaddy’s site you can register your name servers with your droplet(s) IP address. Unlike a normal DNS entry, a nameserver registration is made directly with the TLD and included in your whois data. You will then want to set up ns and A records for the nameserver subdomains you create in cPanel. GoDaddy Documentation

Im confused. Im wondering if anybody has come across a guide for setting up Cpanel/WHM on a cpanel.mydomain.com subdomain, then installing wordpress on the main mydomain.com url to display info, then install WHMCS on a billing.mydomain.com subdomain. So if you set up cPanel with your domain as the root domain, install WordPress there and then add a subdomain (or create a second client/site configuration for your subdomain).

It’s been quite a while since I have used WHMCS but it sounds like both apps are trying to do URL rewriting using .htaccess files. An easier solution would be to place WHMCS in a subdomain rather than a folder so you can direct users to something like account.yourdomain.com to sign up or log into whmcs.
