VirtFusion branding lets customers see your company, not the software vendor, when they manage their VPS. A consistent logo, colours and hostname also make phishing emails easier for customers to spot.
Before you start
- Admin access to the VirtFusion admin area.
- Your logo in light and dark versions (SVG or a transparent PNG).
- A hostname for the panel, such as
vps.example.com, with DNS access. - Check your licence: some branding options may depend on the licence type.
Set your VirtFusion branding
- In the admin area open Settings and find the branding or appearance section.
- Enter your company name as it should appear in titles and emails.
- Upload your logo (and dark-mode logo if offered) and a favicon.
- Choose your primary colour so buttons and links match your website.
- Save and open the customer login page in a private window to review.
Tip: Use the same colours and logo as your WHMCS client area so customers moving between them feel at home.
Use your own hostname
- Create a DNS A record for the hostname pointing to the control server IP.
- Set the panel URL in VirtFusion settings to the new hostname.
- Issue an SSL certificate for it (VirtFusion's installer or documentation explains the supported method, commonly Let's Encrypt).
- Update the URL in the WHMCS server entry so single sign-on and API calls use it.
Customise emails
- Set the sender name and address to an address on your domain.
- Configure SMTP with a real mail service and add SPF and DKIM for that domain so emails are not marked as spam.
- Edit email templates for server created, password reset and similar events in your own words.
Check afterwards
- The login page, dashboard and emails show your name and logo.
- The browser shows a valid padlock on your hostname.
- WHMCS single sign-on still opens the panel.
Troubleshooting
- Old logo still shows: clear the browser cache.
- Certificate error: DNS may not point to the server yet; wait for propagation and retry.
- Emails go to spam: check SPF, DKIM and that the sender domain matches the SMTP account.
Frequently asked questions
Can I remove all mention of VirtFusion?
That depends on your licence terms; check them before removing vendor credits.
Can I add custom CSS?
Check the appearance settings for your version; keep changes small so updates do not break them.
Should the panel use a subdomain of my main site?
Yes, a subdomain like vps.example.com is clear and easy to secure.
