Creating Your First WP Squared Product
To sell something using WHMCS, you need to configure a product.
The steps below create a WP Squared product in WHMCS. In WHMCS 8.8 and later, you can easily offer WordPress hosting to your customers on a WP Squared server. WP Squared, a WebPros product, hosts and manages WordPress-specific accounts while offering a specially-tailored version of WHM that meets all of the needs of WordPress hosts.
