Integration for the Enhance web hosting panel

[spiritualagency]

Hi David, would you consider making an integration module for the Enhance Web Hosting panel? Alongside WPMU Dev (brilliant for add-on domains/autoSSL) hosting, which I use for Ultimate Multisite, I am using Enhance, and it is working well!

I have tested both subdirectory and subdomain configurations, and they work well - albeit only with Apache configurations. This Apache limitation is one that Adam Smith, the founder of Enhance, has acknowledged.
Enhance allows me to use LiteSpeed Enterprise at literally a fraction of the cost of the hosting on cPanel. There are some tweaks that I made to get this to work:

Delete the original Enhance .htaccess and replace it with the default:
(https://gist.github.com/jennimckinnon/71f06f92f1d0396170682cec4285d434) . I did this when setting up multisite (Subdirectory configuration only; Subdomain configuration works with the WordPress-generated .htaccess file).

I added the following lines to WP-Config to avoid cookie/SSL issues:
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
define('COOKIEPATH', '');
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '');
define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

Enhance allows you to install the Cloudflare Origin certificate easily - I wanted to test this with Cloudflare for SaaS. Whilst Cloudflare generated the SSL for the custom hostname, the SSL was not detected by Ultimate Multisite when setting up the new domain. It most likely works as this setup did on an xCloud server with add-on domains pointing to the Multisite Root Domain (CNAME to root and www), using 'full-strict' encryption on Cloudflare.

The Enhance web panel enables you to add alias domains easily. If they are using the Enhance nameservers or pointing to the server, it will generate an SSL for the add-on domain. This method did work, and the domain was recognised and completed by Ultimate Multisite.

Enhance has some really comprehensive API docs (https://apidocs.enhance.com), and I have really enjoyed playing with the API's using Pabbly Connect and deploying websites programmatically. Whilst it would not be impossible for me to develop a custom plugin to add the add-on domains, an integration with Enhance would be most helpful in this regard. I had several discussions with Arindo during the WP-Ultimo era, and even set up a VPS panel so he could test it with Plesk. I actually sent him an email asking him to consider an integration for Enhance before his accident.

Thank you again to David and the other Ultimate Multisite maintainers for keeping this dream alive.
Kindest regards.

Enhance look like a great project. I added an integretion for you to test #267 you can use the attached zip from there.

Is Enhance open source? or do I have to pay to download it?

Wow! Sorry I missed your reply but I just saw that Enhance was available on my Panel - Thank you so much for this @superdav42 !!

Is Enhance open source? or do I have to pay to download it?

It's not open source, and I pay $6 per month (though the price may have gone up), which covers unlimited servers (so, pricing-wise, 33 websites). Then, in the first tier, each additional website is $0.15. If you didn't want to pay but wanted to test it yourself, I can spin up a reseller plan that would give you API access (I think).
Let me know, and thanks again for the integration - I missed it in the many updates!

Hi, is this Enhance integration work well on your setup?

• Hi, I only noticed the integration on Saturday. I tried it yesterday, and it needs a little tweaking, and I raised it as an issue this morning. @superdav42 did a fantastic job putting it in without any prior knowledge of Enhance.

I have tested it, but i found a problem, i can't make it connected to Enhance server. @superdav42

Hi,
I currently use Enhance panel but not for a full WordPress Multisite (WAAS network). I’m using it mainly for hosted standalone websites and as a mail server. I would like to use it for a WAAS setup, but currently it doesn’t support proper load balancer functionality, especially when scaling across multiple servers, which causes issues.
Hopefully this can be supported in the future so it can work efficiently with large multisite networks.

Thanks!

Hi @tamkendigital, which of the WP Ultimo/Ultimate Multisite-supported panels support this functionality, out of interest?
I use WPMU Dev, which works like a dream. I have used Runcloud in the past, but abandoned it as I would have had to upgrade my membership tier to get API access, and it wasn't really affordable. Not sure about Runcloud's LB capabilities. Closte is the only one I can think of. Get service, also supports LiteSpeed Enterprise, but unpredictable pricing (especially if you don't turn off the China CDN!)

Enhance would work very well given the direction Ultimate Multisite is going, especially with multinetwork management on the roadmap. Enhance in itself is highly scalable, as you know.
