WHMCS Support/Updates price increased 100%
Just received this from WHMCS -
As a customer of WHMCS, we want to sincerely thank you for choosing our software to run your business. If you're like us, you know great billing software that automates your operations is one of the critical success factors of any business.
We are writing to you today to announce a price increase for the Support & Updates service associated with your Owned License.
Support & Updates is an optional service which grants you access to the latest software updates for WHMCS and the ability to contact our technical support team whenever you need them.
Next month, WHMCS will introduce its first price increase in over 8 years for the renewal cost of Support & Updates. The price for a 1 Year renewal will increase from $44.95 to $99.95. At the same time, we will also be introducing the ability to renew for 6 Months at a cost of $59.95.
Between now and 22nd June 2015, you can extend your current support and updates agreement for an additional 12 months and take advantage of today's pricing of $44.95. Click here to renew now »
We are making a significant investment in both staff and behind the scenes technologies as we look to enhance the capability and automation WHMCS provides, and significantly accelerate the speed with which we're able to deliver changes. We look forward to demonstrating the benefits of these changes over the coming weeks and months.
We appreciate your business and look forward to successfully assisting you with automating your operations and providing you with features that help drive your business, and provide you with expert technical support in times of need.
Even though it is a 100% rise, I don't think $100 / year is a lot for a software which automates your business. They should really use the extra funds to make it better.
Comments
Question is: will they?
No . Let's go to Blesta.
$100 per year will make owned licenses more expensive than some leased licenses -
http://whmcs.com/resellers/
That's literally nothing. Yet, people will still complain. Mostly those with business models already doomed to failure . . . so pretty much 90% of the market.
True, but I think most such hosts won't have owned licenses.
for those not great with maths, it's a 122% increase
increases happen, but 122% is shit. really shit
Its actually 122.358% to be exact
I have two owned licenses. Although it's not much, it does make a little dent in the wallet at the end of the year. But I definitely wouldn't ditch WHMCS over a price increase.
It'll be interesting to see where the money goes in regards to improvements.
I will definitely sell My One if it's True and will go for a Leased License !
You got a owned license? How much?
Yeah, I run My Own License on My Portal. I bought it back in 2012. Haven't thought to sell it. Let Me get the official email from WHMCS. I would think then.
Shout me.
It is time to start LowEndWHMCS.
clearly WHMCS v6 will not be released until after June 22
June 22 is an odd date
I still want to see what will look the ordering process in whmcs6, if they will add only some themes I will switch to hostbill.
I'm going to post it here for you. This is a scam, I highly suggest you don't click the link.

I've removed my client's information as I saw it when helping him.
The url goes to:
All I can say is hope no-one clicks it and falls for it and this is what happens when your billing system provider has a database leak.
Mike,
Even the WHMCS 6.0 email had the same headers. [email protected] appears there as well as the t.critsend.com links.
WHMCS have a short link domain called go.whmcs.com
WHMCS use Enom for domains
This domain critsend use:
WHMCS would have wrote a blog post: http://blog.whmcs.com/
or on twitter: http://twitter.com/whmcs
licensekey=Owned-cXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
whos key is that? yours or your customers?
That is my key. Can you please remove it from the post
Someone on WHT I copied that link to Chris (WHT Mod) but a lot of people think it's real because of a V6 email and there's a Nick on the WHMCS team, but I won't believe it until I see it on their blog and tweet.
If it is real they have really drank too much power and heading down to Hostbill and it's good for Blesta.
the email I received includes my whmcs license key. so it's either genuine or their DB has been leached
@Licensecart +1 Blesta
Not sure how long you've had yours but Hostgator allowed hackers into WHMCS's server before so that's what I thought it was. But a lot are saying it's 100% legit so if it is they have technically killed WHMCS.
Blesta ? Never again! Stay away from Phil and his reseller @Licensecart!
Again are you that stupid. Phil manages SolusVM, you mean Paul. I've bolded it for you. And I'm not the only distributor there's BuycPanel or LicensePal. And I couldn't care less if you hate me I'm not here to please you.
@Licensecart BuycPanel or LicensePal just sells license.
What you do here trying to "make" Blesta shit number one in every thread!
WHMCS indeed dying, that's a reason why they're increasing prices.
and you're stupid that didn't understand last time what everybody said to you.
why? dodgy?
Ovs they sell licenses like me, I'm not here to do anything can you tell me which threads I've tried to do what you said. Come on spit it out please.
PS not going to ignite your flame war, you can do what you please I came here because myself and a client thought it was a scam and reported it to WHMCS to try and help others. Not to help you, not to argue with you, I've got better things to do.
