What I built

CloudByteHost runs a multi-cluster cPanel hosting operation across multiple regions. I came in to design the WHMCS automation layer — provisioning across servers, automated billing reconciliation, and a custom client portal that abstracts away the cPanel sprawl.

The whole stack ships invoices, signups, server provisioning, and renewals without human touch. Customer self-service rate now sits above 90%, and the support team gets to focus on actual problems instead of routing tickets.

The challenge

Multi-server billing reconciliation, cross-region failover, and customer migration from a legacy provider with 4,000+ accounts — all without downtime.

How I solved it

Custom WHMCS provisioning module that talks to the cPanel cluster, an automation layer for plan changes and resource scaling, plus a migration tool that pulled accounts in batches with verification at every step.

The outcome

Zero-downtime migration of 4,200 accounts.

Support volume dropped 60% after the self-service portal launched.

Provisioning that used to take 20 minutes now happens in 90 seconds.

Tech stack
