If you are a hosting provider using WHM (Web Host Manager) for selling WordPress hosting and looking to offer ZipWP AI builder to your clients after they purchase a hosting service from you, then this article is for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide will explain the tools you need, such as WHM and WP Toolkit, and how to customize and upload the ZipWP AI Onboarding plugin, so you can offer a seamless WordPress setup experience to your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is WHM?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WHM (Web Host Manager) is a tool used by web hosting resellers and server administrators to manage multiple cPanel accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It acts as the higher-level control panel for managing web hosting servers, reselling hosting services, and creating individual cPanel accounts for your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you\u2019re a web hosting company offering shared WordPress hosting, you\u2019ll use WHM to create hosting accounts for each client. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, you can allocate resources such as disk space, bandwidth, and set permissions for their account. You can also manage security settings, SSL certificates, DNS configurations, and install WordPress or other applications for your clients through WHM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is WP Toolkit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WP Toolkit is an additional tool that integrates into cPanel or WHM, providing a powerful set of features specifically for managing WordPress websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It offers one-click installations, theme and plugin management<\/strong>, automated updates, and security hardening, all from a single interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you install WP Toolkit within WHM, you can manage WordPress for multiple sites across different cPanel accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes setting up WordPress for new clients, updating WordPress versions, installing essential plugins, and offering security tools\u2014all from within the same dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It allows you to install WordPress for new clients with just a click. Plus, you can create “sets” of pre-configured plugins, themes, and settings (such as the ZipWP AI Onboarding plugin) to automate the setup process, so when your clients log into WordPress for the first time, everything is already configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Customize Your ZipWP AI Onboarding Plugin?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you have purchased ZipWP for the Hosts plan, you can customize and download your AI onboarding plugin, which you can distribute to your clients easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plugin helps your clients quickly set up their WordPress site using AI, making the onboarding process smooth and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a complete guide to help you understand the customization process: Host Dashboard Settings Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can customize the plugin by branding it with your brand company\u2019s name, brand colors, plugin name, description, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ensures your customers see your branding while using the user interface of onboarding plugin AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
