I’m working on offering email hosting and Domain registration (I’ll be reselling domain however I want the emails to be hosted on my Amazon servers) I’m interested in using Virtualmin + whmcs.
I know whmcs can handle the billing, customer support and connecting to my Domain resellers account however I would like to know if through Virtualmin I would be able to automate the email account creation and associate email accounts to domain name after or during registration.
I would also like to provide 1-2 email accounts for free with every domain registration.
Is this something that Virtualmin can handle?
A few of the folks in the whmcs forum has recommend CPanel + whmcs.
Can anyone Please let me know if this is possible with Virtualmin and explain how I can go about doing this.
P.S I’m already leaning more towards Virtualmin because of it’s integration with Cloudmin got my fingers crossed hoping that this solution is possible.
Well, you can setup your Server Template so that every account is allowed to create 2 email addresses.
And then, once they complete the purchase and setup of their account – they could log into Virtualmin, and create those two email addresses.
It’s also possible to automate the creation of email aliases.
But, I’m not aware of a simple way to automatically create email accounts while the Virtual Server is created.
Now, there’s always the ability to write a script that does that for you, and you could have that script called from within Virtualmin Config -> Actions upon server and user creation -> Command to run after making changes to a server.
I can create Server Template in virtualmin to give a user to the option to create two email address e.g. info@example.com, sales@example.com after a domain purchase has been made.
And then, once they complete the purchase and setup of their account -- they could log into Virtualmin, and create those two email addresses.
Is it possible set up one central location for example via whmc or webmail so the customers can create and manage these email accounts? (i want to make as simple as possible for the customer so they won’t have to login in to many different places).
Sorry, I meant to say that the email limits are part of the Account Plans.
Take a peek at Account Plans -> Default Plan, in there you can set “Limit on number of mailboxes” to whatever number you like.
I don’t believe WHMCS can be used for creating and managing email accounts, though you may want to verify that to be sure. You also can’t do that via webmail.
Normally, Virtualmin is considered the way for creating and managing accounts, and webmail is the place one would go for actually checking email.
