Hi guys
Been testing out Sentora for about a month now. Installed it on my CentOS 7 server, got everything working so far. What an awesome, free system! Love it.
So, my plan is to start a webhosting business, and I started thinking about the "register a domain" part.
Let's say I have a potential costumer, that wants to start a blog. He/she knows which domain name they want, but if they can't register a domain at my place, they'll most likely move on to the next competitor, right? They ain't got time/knowhow for registering the domain somewhere else, and altering nameserver setup to point to my nameservers.
I have the xBilling module up and running, including the frontend. I can see in the "Email Settings" of the module, that there is an email called "Renewal Reminder Message", for when a domain expires. But what I don't understand is how this is used. As far as I can see, domain registration is not possible with Sentora.
So the question: what is the best way forward? Should I hack the frontend of xBilling, and add some custom code, where I add the step of domain registration, by means of communicating with, for example, eNom's API? And will this approach play well with Sentora? Or should I split it in two different processes, where the customer gets 1 bill from me for webhosting, and 1 bill from e.g. eNom for domain registration?
Any input much appreciated.
