Building a WebsiteWe usually purchase a VPS, but using a VPS alone is too wasteful. Therefore, we can create several web hosting accounts for others to share. The common Baota Panel can also partition web hosting for others to use, but there is no way to log into the panel for self-management. The paid cPanel is definitely not what amateur users want to purchase. So, this article recommends this free web hosting management panel called VestaCP.
VestaCP Introduction
VestaCP is an open-source web hosting control panel. The open-source address is: https://github.com/serghey-rodin/vesta. VestaCP can be installed on CentOS, Debian, and Ubuntu systems, supports custom installation scripts, and optionally installs nginx, apache, vsftpd, proftpd, exim, dovecot, spamassassin, clamav, named, iptables, fail2ban, softaculous, mysql, postgresql, etc. VestaCP supports Chinese.

VestaCP Integration with WHMCS for Automatic Setup
WHMCS is a very popular financial system. Most VPS providers we purchase from online use WHMCS. You can refer to previous articles:
Building a Hosting Sales Website Using WHMCSVestaCP supports integration with WHMCS to automatically set up web hosting. The official provides WHMCS interface files. The specific usage method is as follows:
cd /home/user/web/billing-site.ltd/public_html/modules/server
mkdir vesta
wget http://c.vestacp.com/0.9.8/rhel/whmcs-module.php -O vesta.php
The meaning of the above three commands is: switch to the 'server' folder under the WHMCS installation directory, create a 'vesta' folder, then download the whmcs-module.php file and rename it to vesta.php. Then go to the
