How to Automate Hosting Operations
Follow this manual to establish a neural link between BoostonCP and your billing software (like WHMCS) for automated account provisioning.
Step 1: Preparation
- Ensure you have a generated API Key from the API Manager.
- Verify that your BoostonCP server Port 2087 is open and accessible from your WHMCS server.
Step 2: Configuring the WHMCS Module
- Download the official BoostonCP WHMCS Module from the Client Area.
- Upload the module to
/modules/servers/boostoncp/in your WHMCS installation. - In WHMCS, go to Setup > Products/Services > Servers.
- Add a new server, select "BoostonCP" as the type, and paste your API Key into the "Access Hash" or "Password" field.
Step 3: Testing the Automation Uplink
Click "Test Connection" in WHMCS. If successful, BoostonCP will synchronize its packages and resource limits with WHMCS. You can now enable "Automatically create on payment" for your hosting products.
Step 4: Monitoring API Transmissions
In the BoostonCP API Ledger, you can monitor the status of your keys. A Green Badge confirms the key is active and ready for transmissions. If you see unauthorized "Failed Login" attempts in the Task Logs, regenerate your keys immediately.
PRO TIP: Use different API keys for different platforms (e.g., one for WHMCS, one for a custom mobile app) to ensure full auditing transparency.
