As a shared hosting provider, we have several 100's of users on a server, Ploi generates a random username, it would be extremely helpful to have a username that is based on a domain attached to it, directadmin and other panels use the first 8 characters from the domain as username, and for databases they use the 8 chars_ and then a random name. if the domain is not 8 chars then it will truncated. For example, kyzoe.be would get username kyzoebe and the databasename prefix would be kyzoebe_ but samenslimmergroeien.be would be become samensli
