Domain registration + add website & dns to server + wp install

[Uncle Tony]

I'm kind of a paranoid & minimalist dinosaur and have always worked without any control panel & run my own server and manually add entries to apache & bind for each site.

But I'm getting a lot of fresh sites made now, some are MFAs and I want to ease the pain & grunt work. Here's what I ideally want:

• The script interfaces with GoDaddy/moniker/enom/some popular registrar. So when I type in a domain, or a list of domains, it goes to the registrar & registers it & sets the NS to resolve to my servers.
• Then back at my server it adds entries to apache and bind
• Then strictly optionally (only if selected); it does a wp install, then installs some plugins like SE-friendly URLs & bookmark buttons etc.

So, does something like this already exist? Or do I need to make my own? I really don't want any web hosting business related giant crap of a panel like WHMCS.

you can do that entire thing with any shell script or python or ruby. Use namecheap's api for the domain and dns stuff. After that, it's just modifying text files, restarting apache, creating a db, downloading and unzipping some files, etc.

Will take some time to create, but should work well

Have you found anything like this yet? If not, I see a product waiting to be created. I could sure use something like this myself.

Go with dchuk's advice only if you have some programming skills. Otherwise it should be a breeze to do it yourself with uBot and some web based administration panel like Webmin.

Very possible with Ubot.

I'd be willing to pay someone to make me something like this with uBot.
