Overview
Unban Center For WHMCS has been designed to let your clients remotely unlock banned IP addresses in the most distinguished control panels, and also in VPS servers they are hosted on. The module is seamlessly integrated with cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin and InterWorx, but you are free to create alternative submodules for other systems, allowing all features to be tailored carefully to the professional standards of your business.
This tool offers unparalleled ease of use, as it instantly loads all available products based on the supported servers and submodules - all you have to do is select the ones you want to enable and choose your desirable unban type, including the most common CSF option. Additionally, you will be able to manage blacklists with particular IP addresses or even their complete ranges that cannot be unlocked, as well as unban clients automatically after they log in to your WHMCS. If you decide to let them, your customers will also be permitted to view the ban reasons, and unlock all IP addresses located on their VPS or a dedicated server.
Whether it's your clients who will hold the strings when it comes to unlocking IP addresses, never leaving your website, or you prefer to take charge, there is one choice that stands above all others - Unban Center For WHMCS!
