Check out Namecheap for SSL certificates. They currently issue them free with any domain (including .infos, which are $3) or if you get their WHOIS privacy service. That's, what, 1/10th the price of GoDaddy?

They provide an API, too, and a WHMCS module: http://code.google.com/p/namecheap/

Thanks for the tip !
ill check them out for sure

I think WHMCS purposefully keep their api at a poor level so that you need to pay them to get anything done unfortunately. Even after so many requests for information, their api and knowledgebase is still only a few lines of information. I've written a few basic modules for WHMCS and its no easy task right now.

Yes you are correct, not much documentation about this, and soapi + whmcs does not look like something we will be able to get working..

I don't see this coming.
I looked around, and this has already been asked for 2 years ago by the french and spanish uers.
And there is still no such module available.
So it would be better (and a lot faster) to get someone to do it for you.
The WHMCS dvelpers are offering custom made module development, and from one of the threads i could see that the developer was asking for 4/500$ of work.

why would i spend $500 for a service which will provide OVH with long term profit for something i already got for free on tucows ...

it should come from OVH, they should do it for us, as it is in the long run a good thing for OVH.

its like paying a "setup fee" .....
I guess it will never happen.

I'm afraid that ATM, we provide you with a SOAPI interface so that you can programme your interface with.

We don't provide support for WHMCS, but I'll pass it on to our headquarters to take into consideration

Edited: BTW, this is the link http://www.ovh.com/soapi/en/

I just had a look at the WHMCS site, and they have an API which one could use.
Looks like it is possible to integrate new providers into the system.
But I never used WHMCS, so don't know how easy it can be done.

What do you actually need?
I was playing around with the SOAPI interface some time ago, and will be doing a custom CP just for OVH users, which can be used to give OVH Manager control to your users, without them having access to the OVH Manager themself.

i do have my soapi panel in Perl ( i made one for dedicated servers ).

the thing is to integrate it with an existing application ( whmcs ) which is not something i find easy to do.. im not into php.

Thank you,
that could be a great thing, i will be able to integrate it with my shared hosting :-)



btw, they fixed the ripe block i didn't open the ticket at the end as it works fine now.

Hello,
i am currently using WHMCS and I have a domain reseller account from tucows which works great.

I would like to explore the option to use OVH as my domain registrar, does OVH has the API codes(and php files) to integrate with WHMCS ?

I am not going to hire some coder to make it work for me, i am looking for a complete solution like i currently have ( they provided me with the php scripts for the API to work with - tucows that is ).

will i be able to use OVH as a registrar? or stick to good old tucows.

also, same question about SSL certificates ( i use godaddy for these atm ).

Thanks
