CWP7 Plugin / Integration

MongerVog

I'm a small business owner, While I maintain my own servers security and panel, It would be very much appreciated to finally see a software support CWP7 +. I am aware this is meant to be just a billing software, but to see addons to support webhosting and some of the most commonly used open-source products would be very nice.

Centos Webpanel is currently not supported.

As we don't use the software our self it is hard for us to add support for it and keep it maintained.

Feel free to write a module your self

Hi there,
I apologize for any confusion it may have caused, however the info that Jaap has given is actually incorrect.

FOSSBilling does have support for Control-WebPanel (CWP for short, previously went by CentOS Web Panel). In fact, the integration for it has existed before the FOSSBilling project itself did.

It is true that we don't currently have team members who use CWP and as such it's not getting regular tests however, their API is also not receiving any changes as far as I can tell so it's unlikely that the integration will stop working anytime soon.

Either of you can verify the list of supported control panels at any time by either:
A) Checking the list of supported control panels.
B) Checking what control panels we have setup guides for, CWP being one of those.

I am aware this is meant to be just a billing software, but to see addons to support webhosting and some of the most commonly used open-source products would be very nice.

I'm not entirely sure where you're getting mixed up about this, however FOSSBilling is a billing panel with it's biggest focus being on web-hosting and other digital products. The website actually says "Free and open source
hosting automation". Also just FYI: CWP is not open source software.

BelleNottelling Ahh I thought CWP was. It is free software. My mistake.

Centos Web panel is free with some limitations but Free != Opensource

There is also a Pro license for example:

Thanks for the replies. I had missed the CWP information. My apologies for this post.

No problem, it's pretty easy to miss info like that, this forum post will at least give another source where others may find the answer if they have the same questions you did 🙂.
And yeah, CWP runs on a freemium model so most features are free, but to unlock some stuff (such as the API and custom branding IIRC) you do need to pay for a pro license. It's rather cheap though at $12 a year, but there's a bit of a gotcha if you need support as you then need to pay per-ticket you submit.

Anyways, take care!
