2 Brands on 1 WHMCS?


Hi WHT samaritans

Is it possible to manage two (hosting) brands on one WHMCS billing system?

Thank you

What you could do is install it at a central domain, either for your parent company or on a generic URL. If you wish you can then create a separate template for each of the two brands and specify which one to use in the URL: http://docs.whmcs.com/Linking_to_WHM...te_via_the_URL

The short answer is no.

You can create 2 seperate templates that users can be directed to via .htacces depending on what brand site they come from. All of the actual billing, support, KB features will be common - coming from the same email address, using the same payment gateway, etc.

Not easy and not pretty. Best bet is to get another license.

[This has been discussed at length at WHMCS.com]

If you need true multibrand support, you would need two WHMCS installs. If you want one common system, then Ubersmith absolutely rocks with multiple brands.

We raised this to WHMCS support sometimes back, it's not being supported. Even the multiple currency is supported but you can only run one currency per one WHMCS installation.

To make it possible - you need to hook on WHMCS API (but this is not a complete solution, because some functions on API is missing), and this task is not simple.

My suggestion, buy another license.

You can use an unlimited number of currencies on a single WHMCS installation.

It is possible:

* install WHMCS on one (sub)domain.
* create for every company a subdomain that is a proxy to the WHMCS installation
* With auto prepend file in PHP you can include a file in WHMCS that can set the template, for example when you give a parameter with the proxy it can recognize that and set the template with $_REQUEST['systpl']. You can also define the language with that.
* done!

Use http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/ to get the remote address in WHMCS. Else you'll have trouble with the anti-fraud check. An other option is that you get the IP from the x-forward header and set it manually as remote address.

It's easier to just get another WHMCS license. But being able to link to different WHMCS templates is good for a division of x company, etc. Best off using a separate WHMCS license for completely different brands though.

Hahaha...
That's no doubt the best solution.
If I'm not wrong, other billing systems have this feature under one license, right?
So I personally think WHMCS is greater than not having that

Hi
I don't believe other billing systems have this feature.

I would just get another WHMCS license. Or just import all the clients under one brand / site / domain.

There are plenty of systems out there that allow this to varying degrees. Ubersmith has already been mentioned in this thread which allows an unlimited number of brands. WHMAutoPilot also had this feature (how far it was finally developed I'm not sure).
