The Magic 8: WHMCS and CPanel

What happens if I register 12345678aa.com and 12345678bb.com in whmcs. How will the cpanel generate username for the second domain if cpanel has 8 characters limit?

    I think it will tell you it's already taken and make you input something manually.

    I would assume it changes the 8th character to something unique. Granted, that would mean only 9 options are available :S

  • What about on the client's backend jtodd? I have tried it until before I pay in WHMCS and it didn't noticed about the possible conflict on username. Does it mean the automated setup will not proceed and will require intervention of the admin?

    How do you have automatic setup configured? If it's setup after payment then you'll need to test it with a dummy payment.

    I think it will require the intervention of an admin to change the username. I haven't used WHMCS in some time though.

  • WHMCS also allows custom or random usernames for the cPanel module. Like @jtodd mentioned, if an order attempts to provision with an existing username the provisioning will fail, and require manual intervention.

  • @nvrtrust said: How will the cpanel generate username

    cPanel/WHM will take the 1st and last 4 to create a username, so you would have 1234acom and 1234bcom with the above domains.
