How to Create Your First Shared Hosting Product<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

To sell something using WHMCS, you need to configure a product.<\/p>\n

Shared Hosting<\/strong>\u00a0products provision shared hosting accounts using the control panel module you select.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

You will need to create a product group before creating your first product. For steps to do this, see\u00a0How to Set Up Your First Product Group.<\/p>\n

Create a Shared Hosting Product<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

To create a shared hosting product:<\/p>\n

1. Go to\u00a0Configuration > System Settings > Products\/Services<\/strong>\u00a0(Setup > Products\/Services > Products\/Services\u00a0<\/strong>in WHMCS 7.10 and earlier).<\/p>\n

2. Click\u00a0Create a New Product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

3. Choose\u00a0Shared\u00a0Hosting<\/strong>\u00a0for\u00a0Product Type<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

4. Choose the desired product group.<\/p>\n

5. Enter a name for the product.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. If you have already set up the server or know the module you want to use, select it for\u00a0Module<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

7. Click\u00a0Continue<\/strong>. A new page will appear.<\/p>\n

8. In the\u00a0Details<\/strong>\u00a0tab, set the\u00a0Product Description<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
\n

9. Check\u00a0Require Domain<\/strong>. This is required for creating a hosting product.<\/p>\n

10. Select a\u00a0Welcome Email<\/strong>\u00a0to send when provisioning the product.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

WHMCS comes with several pre-made welcome email templates that you can customize at\u00a0Configuration > System Settings > Email Templates<\/strong>\u00a0(Setup > Email Templates\u00a0<\/strong>in WHMCS 7.10 and earlier).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

11. In the\u00a0Pricing\u00a0<\/strong>tab, set the desired pricing options for the product.<\/p>\n

To do this, select\u00a0Recurring<\/strong>\u00a0as the\u00a0Payment Type<\/strong>, and then specify the desired monthly prices. You can also enter a\u00a0Setup Fee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For this example, the product will only be available on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

You can set up as many pricing options as you wish during this step.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

12. In the\u00a0Module Settings<\/strong>\u00a0tab, choose the module and fill out the remaining product information.<\/p>\n

In this example,\u00a0cPanel<\/strong>\u00a0is preselected because it was chosen in an earlier step.<\/p>\n

13. For cPanel products, select a package from\u00a0WHM Package Name<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The\u00a0WHM Package Name<\/strong>\u00a0menu populates after you select the module. The package list comes from WHM on your server, and WHMCS only reads them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

14. Select the automatic setup behavior at the bottom of the tab.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

15. Click\u00a0Save Changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
