Hi,
I am new here so am a bit confused so would like a little help. I am creating a design site which offers designing services as well as hosting. I have a reseller account at a different host than the main site I have. I dont want to make the signing up for hosting process automated. I want to get the orders in my WP site and once the payment succeeds I want to manually create the hosting account and then send the information to the user.
Now I dont think Supporter plugin will help me at all because it is specific for blog upgrades and features right?
Now membership plugin looks juicy. Can I create my hosting packages as membership subscriptions? Once a customers subscribes I want them to get some sort of dashboard where they can login and see their subscription info. And Once I create their account and Cpanel I want to upload this info to their dashboard for them to see. Can I do this with membership plugin? Or is there any other plugin which I can use to achieve this?

I suppose you could use it to handle subscriptions. All your hosting stuff will have to be setup or canceled manually though.
And you would have to create a plugin that maybe works with membership shortcodes to do this:

Thanks for your input. Right now I am looking at just the subscription part. The WHM and Cpanel APIs are ok but as I said the servers are different so I will add and cancel the hosting accounts manually. Its ok with me because I am looking for personal hosting experience for my clients. Right now if somehow I am able to put their hosting info into their dashboard or profile page it will be great. :)

Hi !
For that you will have to use the Cpanel API's.
I think it is quite possible, the apis are really greats and allows you to do anything on WHM
It ca take the subscribtion info from the form but that will be a BIIIIIIIIIG developpement.
bon courage :)
