how about just the ability to enter monthy fee, how often they pay (month to month, quarterly, semi-annually, annually) and a week before the date an e-mail is sent to the user with whatever you put in a textfield. of course the ability to turn this off for users that do not want it and also how long ahead to remind the customer their billing cycle is coming to an end. and of course you get a message as the reseller in your ticket system!

for example,

dear user,

blah blah you owe us money, please use this link or send money order too.



this would just be amazing for people that are not using automated billing systems etc...

Whois.cart (http://www.whoiscart.net/) can do this and more for a one-time fee of us$35.00.

Whoiscart doesn't handle sub.domain.ext accounts and is lacking in instructions IMHO. I too would like to understand how one would make a more simple script.

I'd love to see a simple guide to using the API?

First you want to be able to communicate with the api and be able to retrieve/send data easily, class for that available from Phil at:

http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=258

Then you want to know whats available, what needs to be sent and what vars are there... all that is available:

Finally, any problems you can ask here:

You can also have a look at other questions there for a fair bit of information on the whole thing.

Thanks - I'm trying to put together a form for our revamped free hosting service - we really love DA and hope that we can get something up and running soon.
