Virtual Hosting Company is pleased to provide an update on the IRC Provisioning System for WHMCS, Version 4.1. Our team has been working hard to debug and troubleshoot the major updates that have been completed for the upcoming release. With changes ranging from completely re-structuring our back-end (Server) module, to improving and realigning our WHMCS Widget, to adding the new Login Notification Configurable Addon support, the changes are vast. However, our biggest improvement is the added support for Debian, where we were only supporting CentOS before.

The IRC Provisioning System for WHMCS is used by Virtual Hosting Company to handle the provisioning of our IRC Bouncer Hosting Solutions, IRC Shell Hosting Solutions, and IRC Server Hosting Solutions products. We’ve prepared, packaged, and released previous versions to allow other Hosting Providers to do the same. Hosting Providers can use the system to handle provisioning (Creation, Deletion, Suspension, Unsuspension, Updating, and Changing Passwords) of IRC-related accounts. Additionally, Clients can utilize their interface to view details on their account, including limits that are set up, IP addresses (for IRC Server based solutions), information about the latest updates, and last login information (with our upcoming Login Notification System Addon).
Updated screenshots and additional information will be added soon to the IRC Provisioning System for WHMCS page, as well as more information about the Login Notification System that’ll be released later next month.
