WHMCS VPS Management Module - ArkHost VPSAG

A WHMCS server module for VPSAG/EVPS VPS management with multi-language support.

Note: VPSAG has rebranded to EVPS.net. The API remains unchanged at vpsag.com.

Originally based on andretunes/whmcs-module-vpsag. Current version has been substantially rewritten.

Features

  • VPS provisioning and lifecycle management
  • VPS control (start/stop/restart/shutdown)
  • Backup management (create/restore/delete)
  • Firewall configuration
  • OS reinstallation with SSH key injection and post-install scripts
  • Resource monitoring with graphs
  • VNC console access
  • Hostname and rDNS management
  • ISO mounting
  • 8 language support (English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish)
  • Responsive client area design

Requirements

  • WHMCS 8.9+
  • PHP 7.4+
  • VPSAG/EVPS reseller account with API access

Installation

  1. Upload the ArkhostVPSAG folder to /modules/servers/ in your WHMCS installation
  2. Navigate to Setup > Products/Services > Servers in WHMCS admin
  3. Add a new server with:
    • Module: ArkhostVPSAG
    • Hostname: www.vpsag.com
    • Username: Your VPSAG API username
    • Password: Your VPSAG API key
  4. Click Test Connection to verify credentials

Product Configuration

Creating a Product

  1. Go to Setup > Products/Services > Products/Services
  2. Create a new product or edit an existing one
  3. Under Module Settings tab:
    • Module Name: ArkhostVPSAG
    • Server Group: Select your VPSAG server group

Configurable Options

The module uses two primary configurable options that are dynamically populated from the VPSAG API:

Option Config Key Description
Plan ID configoption1 VPS plan - dropdown populated from /api/v1/plans showing plan names with prices
OS ID configoption2 Operating system - dropdown populated from /api/v1/os/plan/{plan_id} based on selected plan

Setting Up Configurable Options

You can override the default product options using WHMCS Configurable Options:

  1. Go to Setup > Products/Services > Configurable Options
  2. Create a new group and link it to your VPSAG product(s)
  3. Add options with these exact names:
    • planid|Plan - To allow customers to select different plans
    • osid|Operating System - To allow customers to select their OS during order

Option format: {api_id}|{display_name}

The numeric ID before the pipe is the API ID from VPSAG/EVPS.

Finding the IDs

The easiest way to find the IDs is through WHMCS itself:

  1. Go to Setup > Products/Services > Products/Services
  2. Edit any product using the ArkhostVPSAG module
  3. Go to the Module Settings tab
  4. The Plan and Operating System dropdowns show all available options with their IDs

The dropdown values are the IDs you need. Simply use those same IDs when creating Configurable Options.

Note: OS availability varies by plan - you must select a Plan first before the OS dropdown populates.

The module checks for configurable options first, then falls back to product-level settings.

Callback URL

For automatic provisioning updates (IP, password delivery), configure your callback URL in VPSAG:

https://yourdomain.com/modules/servers/ArkhostVPSAG/callback.php

The callback handler:

  • Validates requests using SHA256 signature verification
  • Updates service with username, password, IPs (IPv4/IPv6)
  • Sets VPS label to WHMCS {service_id} for easy identification
