PUQ WEB Hosting provisioning module

PUQ Web Hosting is a WHMCS module that fully automates the selling, provisioning, billing and day‑to‑day management of web hosting and email hosting accounts on HestiaCP servers (with PowerDNS as an additional DNS backend).

From a single WHMCS order the module can create everything a customer needs — a website, databases, FTP accounts, mailboxes, DNS records and an automatic Let's Encrypt certificate — and then expose a clean, self‑service control panel inside the WHMCS client area. Your staff get a powerful admin panel embedded directly in the WHMCS service page, plus a central addon dashboard for your whole server fleet.

The module is built around three ideas that the rest of this documentation explains in detail:

Asynchronous, resumable deployment. A WHMCS order is accepted in milliseconds; the real work runs in a cron‑driven task queue as an idempotent pipeline. Slow panels, network blips and long operations never block the order — failed steps simply retry. See Cron & Automation → Deploy process.
Server segmentation by role. Every HestiaCP node has capabilities — Web, Mail, DNS — and you organise nodes into server groups. You can keep websites on one set of servers, mailboxes on dedicated mail (MX) servers, and DNS on separate nameservers, balancing load by tier and scaling each tier independently. See Deployment & Segmentation.
Three deployment models, including Vanity. Sell classic Split hosting (a separate Hestia user per role for maximum isolation), simpler Unified hosting (one user holds web + mail), or the standout Vanity model — turn one domain you own into thousands of sellable “personal site + email” slots (name.yourdomain.com + [email protected]). See Vanity Mode.

Two parts: server module + addon module

The product ships as two WHMCS modules that work together:

Module Role Server module (puqWebHosting) The product engine: provisioning, the WHMCS client‑area control panel, and the admin service panel embedded in each service page. Addon module (puq_web_hosting) The control centre: a fleet dashboard, the Infrastructure pages (web / mail / DNS servers, server groups, DNS zones & templates), module Settings, the task queue and operation logs, and the cron orchestration that drives every deployment.

The addon module is required — it owns the database schema, the task queue and the cron runner that the server module relies on.

At a glance

HestiaCP automation over SSH (no panel HTTP API required), plus a PowerDNS DNS driver for mixed clusters.
Per‑service websites, databases, FTP, cron jobs, mailboxes (with aliases / forwards / auto‑reply), DNS records — all self‑service in the client area, all permission‑gated per product.
Automatic Let's Encrypt issuance & renewal for web and mail, plus customer custom‑certificate upload.
Built‑in file managers (FileGator + net2ftp) and phpMyAdmin / webmail single‑sign‑on links.
Backups (create / list / restore / delete) with per‑role quotas, per‑domain usage metering, and WHMCS email events for every lifecycle action.
Group‑managed hestia.conf with drift detection, rebrandable standard files (error pages, suspended page, robots.txt), and DNS zone templates with a full modern mail record set (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA‑STS, TLS‑RPT, autodiscover, CAA).
The unique Vanity model and a standalone “claim your name” shop widget you can drop on any marketing domain.

System Requirements

Requirement Supported WHMCS 8.x or 9.x PHP 7.4, 8.1 or 8.2 (use the module build that matches your WHMCS host's PHP) ionCube Loader enabled, matching the host PHP version HestiaCP reachable over SSH (panel HTTP API not required) PowerDNS optional — additional DNS backend

The module ships as per‑PHP‑version builds (7.4 / 8.1 / 8.2). WHMCS 8 runs on PHP 7.4, 8.1 or 8.2; WHMCS 9 runs on PHP 8.2; and on any host with PHP 8.3 or newer you use the 8.2 build. Full guidance is in Installation & Configuration → Requirements & Installation.
