Full OnApp 2.1RC4 module hotfix

HostBill users recently reported issue with OnApp 2.1RC4 module.

Problem:
When creating billing plan using API it’s not possible to create machine as a client, as OnApp throws HTTP500 + bad response error.

Solution:
We’ve created patch for OnApp Full-Featured module 2.1. To apply it please download your copy of module again from our client area, and extract archive contents in main HostBill directory.

Patch drawbacks:
This patch hard-codes clients’ cpu-shares to unlimited (it’s not setting cpu-shares limit in OnApp), and for new machines created from HostBill client area it sets cpu-share to 1, despite of slider settings.

Please note:
This is temporary patch, once OnApp will fix this bug with next RC/Stable version we will upload regular version of module with working CPU-Shares limit.

Resell SSL Certificates with Enom

What is Enom?
eNom, Inc. is a domain name registrar and Web hosting company that also sells other products closely tied to domain names, such as SSL certificates, e-mail services, and Website building software.

The backstory
Ordering, reissuing, renewing SSL certificates is a painful process and we thought that we could help here 🙂
We knew we had to create new order page certain for SSL Certificates
as ordering certificates is a three step-process and current pages simply don’t fit here.

So how does it work?

During order customer picks one of the certificates and HostBill asks for:

* CSR
* registrar details
* email address that approve email will be sent to

All details are used to issue the certificate.

When it comes to managing certificates the admin part of HostBill supports most of the features provided by Enom that include:

– show CSR
– download certificate
– reissue certificate
– check status of a certificate

This addon makes it very easy to order, issue, reissue and manage certificates.
We hope you find it as useful as we do.

Cpanel: Traffic&Disk Usage Monitor

Creating invoices and sending notification to the clients if they go over their Disk/Traffic limits is very common.

Why not put some magic here and write a tool to automate this task?

Yes we did that! You will get a list of all accounts which reached their limits for Bandwidth or Disk space.

For each client you can:

  1. Set price and create invoice
  2. Send warning notification
  3. Email customer
  4. Suspend account

this and more in the next version 🙂
