Expert setup
A-to-Z NexCMP setup and branded apps, done for you
Install the server, connect your cloud, set prices and payments, brand everything, and ship your own apps: the NexCMP Source upgrade includes 30 working days of continuous work with an expert engineer who does it with you, so you can start selling and scale without doing the setup yourself.
Included with NexCMP Source ($499 one-time), not with NexCMP Free. Apache CloudStack and Proxmox VE are trademarks of their respective owners. NexCMP is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
The problem: a lot of small decisions before the first sale
NexCMP is software you install on your own server. Before the first customer can order, someone has to install it, connect it to Apache CloudStack or Proxmox VE, build the plans and prices, set up payment channels and e-mail, put your brand on the portal, and make the system safe to expose to the Internet. Selling through apps adds a second job: building, branding and signing a version for every platform.
Each step is documented, and you can do all of them yourself with NexCMP Free. This service is for the case where you would rather have an engineer do it with you, in order, and hand over a system that is ready to run.
The A-to-Z setup
What the engineer sets up with you. Each item follows NexCMP's own documentation.
Server install
Install NexCMP on your server, activate the license for your domain and check updates and the service status.
CloudStack and/or Proxmox VE
Connect your cloud: a dedicated CloudStack account and key, or Proxmox VE clusters with their IP pools and templates. NexCMP can sell from both in one install.
Plans and pricing
Build the plan table from your costs, with hourly or monthly prices, the operating systems you offer and the infrastructure source each plan uses.
Payment gateways
Configure the payment channels you use, test a real payment and set up the invoice seller details.
Branding
Your name, logos, colours and e-mail sender on the portal, the admin console, e-mails and invoices.
Resellers
White-label resellers with their own domain, brand, prices and wholesale wallet, if you sell through partners.
AI Chat and AI Agent
Connect an AI provider so the support assistant and the AI Agent work for your customers, with the safety limits you choose.
Modules
Turn on the modules you sell and leave the rest off, and check each one against your infrastructure.
Backups
A backup routine with off-server storage, and a restore test, so the first problem is not the first time you restore.
Hardening
Two-factor authentication for the admin console, an allowed IP range for it, administrator roles, and a review of what faces the Internet.
All your apps, built and branded for you
One codebase for every platform — our engineers build and brand all of the apps for you in the 30 working days, so you do not touch a build tool.
Android
An Android app under your brand.
iPhone and iPad (iOS)
Soon. An iOS app is in development and not available yet.
Windows
A Windows desktop app under your brand.
macOS
A macOS desktop app under your brand.
Linux
A Linux desktop app under your brand.
Chrome, Edge and Brave
A browser extension for Chromium-based browsers.
Firefox
A browser extension for Firefox.
Store accounts and signing certificates are yours
A branded app has to be published and signed in your name, not ours. This is a store requirement, not a choice. You create the Apple Developer and Google Play developer accounts and obtain the signing certificates in your own name, and the engineer uses them to sign the builds and prepare the store submissions with you.
Apple states that an individual's legal name is shown as the seller name of the apps, and that an organization needs a legal entity with a D-U-N-S number. Google requires an account for publishing in Play Console. Choose the account type that matches how you want your company to appear, and start these accounts early, because verification is done by the stores.
Your signing keys stay with you. Each store decides on its own whether an app is accepted, so we cannot promise a store outcome or a review time.
The plan, week by week
Typical, adjusted to your case. The 30 working days of continuous work are about six calendar weeks.
Week 1 — Install and connect
NexCMP is installed on your server and licensed for your domain. We connect CloudStack and/or Proxmox VE and check that a test virtual machine can be created. You start your store accounts.
Week 2 — Plans, prices and payments
Plans and prices are built from your costs. Payment channels, e-mail and invoice details are configured and a real payment is tested.
Week 3 — Brand, resellers, AI and modules
Your brand is applied to the portal, admin console and e-mails. Resellers, AI Chat and AI Agent are set up and the modules you sell are switched on.
Week 4 — Apps: first builds
We set up the build environment from the source code, apply your brand to every app and produce the first builds for each platform.
Week 5 — Apps: signing and submission, backups, hardening
Builds are signed with your certificates and prepared for the stores you use. Backups with a restore test and the hardening review are done.
Week 6 — Acceptance and handover
We walk through the whole system with you as a customer and as an administrator, fix what we find and hand over notes, build scripts and a list of what to do on each release. Support lasts until the end of the 30 working days.
Outline only. The real plan comes out of week 1, and the only dated commitment in the offer is the 30 working days.
Who does what
A server that meets the requirements and your domain
- The expert does
- Installs and licenses NexCMP, and checks it runs
Access to your CloudStack or Proxmox VE, or the hardware to build them on
- The expert does
- Connects it and tests a virtual machine from order to deletion
Your costs, price decisions and the operating systems you want to sell
- The expert does
- Builds the plans and prices
Payment gateway accounts, SMTP details and company details for invoices
- The expert does
- Configures and tests them
Logos, colours, names and legal text for your brand
- The expert does
- Applies them to the portal, console, e-mails and every app
Apple and Google developer accounts and signing certificates, in your name
- The expert does
- Builds, signs and prepares the submissions with you
Risks and how we reduce them
We do not promise store approvals or a fixed delivery date for one platform. This is what can slow a project down and what we do about it.
Store accounts take time
Verification of a developer account is done by Apple and Google, not by us. We ask you to start them in week 1 so they are ready when the first signed build is.
Missing inputs
Plans, prices, logos and payment accounts are decisions only you can make. The week 1 plan lists every input with the week it is needed, so a delay in one does not stop the rest.
Infrastructure that is not ready
A cloud that is missing storage, networks or templates cannot sell machines. We check this in week 1 and tell you what to prepare.
A change to a live system
Changes to payments, prices and security are tested before they reach customers, and each setting is recorded so that it can be repeated or undone.
Locking yourself out
Two-factor authentication and an IP allow-list protect the console but can lock out the owner. We test the recovery route as part of the hardening.
What you get in the 30 working days
The expert service is part of the NexCMP Source upgrade: a one-time $499 that includes the complete source code (Rust server, Vue portal and admin, Go node agent, CLI, build scripts), the right to modify and build your own version without limit, 12 months of new source releases, all apps and 30 working days of continuous work with an expert engineer.
In those 30 working days the expert does, at no extra charge, a complete A-to-Z setup and builds all your apps under your brand. Instead, or as well, the same time can be used for a VMware to Apache CloudStack migration, a WHMCS to NexCMP migration or a migration from another system. The clock starts when you start the work with the expert and is shown on your license page. Support lasts the same 30 days.
NexCMP Free does not include this. Free is free for one year with all modules and no technical support, only fixes of source-code bugs, and renews at $99 per year.
