Secure the Configuration File

When you secure your installation, we recommend adjusting the permissions for the configuration.php file to protect your sensitive data.


Migrate Data to WHMCS

You can use automated options like Sync Accounts or Importassist to migrate your data, or you can add data using manual entry.


Move the Cron Directory

We recommend moving the crons directory to a custom private directory above your web root to prevent unauthorized web-based access.


Rename the Admin Directory

Customizing the WHMCS admin directory name makes it harder for bots and malicious users to find the login URL for your Admin Area.


Set Up a Test Environment

To prevent problems, we recommend testing updates and customizations in a test environment before applying them to your production server.


Uninstall WHMCS

If you need to uninstall WHMCS, you can do so manually by removing the related WHMCS files, data, cron jobs, and email piping or importing.


Accept an Admin Invitation

Organizations can send invitations to staff members, allowing them to create admin accounts. When you receive your invitation, you will have seven days to use it to create your username and password. Then, you can log in to the Admin Area to start working in WHMCS.
