Hosting website

[CraftyZA]

I've started to build on www.webhostingzone.co.za.
I've used Joomla for the front end, then a Joomla component called "Webhosting component"
This component unfortunately is not compatible with cpanel.
What it does is to setup the new hosting account once it has been ordered. then the administrator can just activate the account once payment has been received.

Does cpanel have something like this? It does not have to be joomla based. I just want a website that is easy to manage. I have a day time job, so this hosting business is just a hobby really. I want to create websites, not manage accounts all night. As soon a user orders a website, it should create the hosting account in the WHM, so that i can just approve/activate the account.
