  1. Hey man,
    first of all a big thx for your tutorial! This is BIG help!!
    Sadly I feel like some configuration in IIS is missing here.
    I cannot access the WP Portal from within the dedicated WP server.
    Do I have to add site-bindings in IIS or something?

  2. excellent tutorial, but I my main need to install website panel to link it to WHMCS to allow auto provisioning of VPS on Hyper-V and suspension etc…, and websitepanel is supported by WHMCS and got its own module, so may I ask is it a MUST to host my website (ie. the marketing portal WHMCS) on the same windows server am going to install websitepanel on ? Or is it possible to leave my website (WHMCS) hosted somewhere else and install websitepanel on the windows server I would like to manage ?…
