cpanel administration

You can use cPanel XML API to create the account. The XML API available functions can be checked at:

http://www.cpanel.net/plugins/xmlapi/createacct.html

 

The XML API is designed so those writing scripts outside of the cPanel/WHM environment can interact with WHM's mechanisms to perform common tasks such as creating accounts.

Your script essentially calls a special URL and then processes the XML that is returned back by our XML API.

There are many code samples for the XML API in the developer section of the cPanel forums.

 

Can you clarify what you mean for "cPanel commands?" Do you mean more API calls you can use in your custom scripts?

 

You are welcome to look at the source code of the x3 theme to find the APIs it uses to do things in the cPanel interface. The x3 theme is located at /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3 and is composed of APIs, Javascript and HTML.

As for "packages duration" - that would be something you manage through whatever billing automation software you are using in conjunction with cPanel/WHM.

 

There are several automaton scripts available for cPanel. Two such scripts are Ubersmith and WHMCS. You may consider buying a cheap monthly lease to fulfill your requirements.

 

To clarify, if you visit their domain in your browser, it does not appear. But if you type the IP address on which their site resides, their website appears?

If this is the case, make sure that the domain is using your nameservers. You can verify this by performing a WHOIS on their domain.

 

As mentioned by David, make sure that your web site is using your server's nameservers (which you have created for your servers). Otherwise you can only access your web site using IP address. You will need to change the nameservers of your domain to point to your server until then you will not be able to access your web site using its name.
