Delete Domain Aliases In Bulk

Rob Barbour shared this idea ago

Open Discussion

As a systems administrator, I'd like to be able to delete domain aliases in bulk via CSV/textarea, so I can quickly remove multiple aliases in a short amount of time.

---------

I suggest adding both of these:

1. Textbox for up to 500-1000 domains to process

2. Upload a CSV

This would allow everyone to easily remove many domain aliases with one action.

While this interface doesn't exist inside cPanel, you could script something to handle this for you using the following API call:

Would this be in WHM or in cPanel ?

If in cPanel, would it be enough to just have the ability to easily select all aliases and have a Apply to all selected : "delete" option ?

I think it should be in cPanel to allow users to control it, but technically could be in both.

Having a "delete all" function would be nice, but there needs to be a selective option (textbox or csv). I wouldn't want to be required to delete them all and then re-add what needs to be there.

What about something like check boxes with a "select all" button and the ability to deselect domains you don't want to delete before clicking on a delete selected domains button ? Or would this not meet your needs ?

I think it would be fine for 10, 20, or even 50, but not for me because I'm dealing with thousands of aliases. I'm also thinking of it from a programmatic side too and a textbox or csv solution would be easiest IMO (otherwise there's pagination and other things involved).

I wrote a script to add thousands of aliases and it took forever to add them. I now need to deal with some pruning on a large selective scale. Doing a textbox or csv solution is what I would do anyway.
