How To Install A Free Copy Of WHMCS

dedicated

Yes, you read it right! You can now obtain and install a free license on your hosting servers. However, there is a catch. To obtain a free copy, you need to be a customer of HostGator’s dedicated hosting server running on Linux. Once you have done so, you will then have to change your domain name servers to the name servers of HostGator’s at the registrar. Only after doing so, you can request a free license at www.whmcs.com/hostgator.

In case you do not wish to install the license on your own, you can request HostGator to do so by sending an e-mail at sales@hostgator.com. However, remember, that a charge of $25 is levied in case HostGator installs it on your behalf. Now that you have requested your license, you can download it after logging into the client area of WHMCS at www.whmcs.com/members. Here, you will have to perform the following steps for downloading:

  1. Click the My Licenses & Services link.
  2. Select a preferred license key for viewing its details.
  3. Select the latest stable version for downloading the copy.

To install WHMCS License, you will first have to upload the folder contents to your site. To do so, unzip the contents and then rename the folder to configuration.php. You can now upload the entire folder to your site and again rename the folder by giving it a suitable name, if you wish. Now, modify the permissions for the folder to 755 (CHMOD 755).

Second, you will have to now create a database by logging into cPanel (http://yourdomain.com/cpanel) and clicking MySQL Databases in the section called Databases. Once you have created a database, it is now time to create a user by entering the credentials twice in the Add New User section and then adding her/him to the database.

The final and third step is to run the Installation Script by opening the page, http://www.yourdomain.com/whmcs/install/install.php and following the instructions to install and set up your primary admin account. Once done, remove the installation folder from the server and restore the CHMOD value of the configuration.php to 644.

Note: If there are many dedicated servers, you cannot avail this free copy for each of it. Even if you purchase more than one dedicated hosting server from HostGator, there is a limit of only 1 free WHMCS per customer.

IT Consulting As Applied to Teleconferencing

hire it consultants

Teleconferencing is one of the new arts of communication through audio-visual means that is employed in many offices in real time across the world. It is as much a presidential tool as it is for a managing director who could not make it to the venue. IT consulting is very essential in this kind of technology because it reduces some of the embarrassing moments occasioned by abrupt appearance of static on the screen when officials are expecting to see their connected colleagues get on talking.

While teleconferencing, IT consulting can be availed to provide or advise on the best software to use. The experts can also be consulted on the best hours to carry through the remote feed when the optic fibers provide the best connectivity service and so forth. Finally, it is also the duty of the tech virtuoso to give a few preparation ideas on troubleshooting the machinery whenever there is a real-time hitch on location.
