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 🙂

What can be done in 40 minutes – Clients Online – new HostBill addon!

It’s late here, the release date is tomorrow, and weĘĽre doing some final polishing on the next version of HostBill. IĘĽve decided to check what can be done with the HostBill add-ons system in just 40 minutes. The results of my work will be added into the upcoming release. Clients Online is a really simple yet handy add-on that will show you which of your clients are currently logged-in. It integrates itself into the admin homepage, so you will have at-a glance information about your clients’ activity.

Next version preview pt.3 – Dedicated Server Manager

It’s a matter of single days now until the next version of HostBill is released. With this version we will introduce an add-on especially for hosting company owners. If you own or resell a few dedicated servers spread across different collocations, you probably know the pain of managing contacts for them, or going through dozens of emails to find login details or hardware specifications. Well, worry no more, as now you can have all that information in one place – in HostBill!

With our add-on you’ll be able to manage collocations where you host your servers, contacts to them, and keep information about racks, servers, switches, labels etc. Just take a look at the screenshots:

The next version is coming up, and as I’ve just finished developing this I thought I’d share a screenshot of the new add-on that will be included with the new HostBill (1.4.6). CSV Exporter is a simple tool for everyone who wants to do accounting outside HostBill and who needs a set of data exported from it. YouĘĽll be able to export invoices, transactions, accounts, domains and client details to be used in any program that is compatible with CSV format.
