have they released pricing for the resellers? will free whmcs still be something that's offered through hosting resellers? even if its just the lower tier.
I'd not take billing software seriously that uses mcrypt.
time to move to Blesta, HostBill or other whmcs alternative..
Even at 3 times the price WHMCS is still the better of those 3, why move?
Looks like they will also be doing some hosting soon.
Quite the opposite. The mcrypt extension is an oddball crypto implementation that has been unmaintained for a while now, and that has been removed from PHP core for very good reason.
You really, really, really shouldn't be using mcrypt.
I know, it was sarcasm
Aha. It's hard to tell in PHP-land sometimes
Get off your high horse and send in a pull request then?
So, there's a few problems with that:
This is absolutely not worth my time.
Oh you mean like with ZPanel? Hehe... hehe... That was a fun read back then.
OK gotcha, probably a PITA indeed and I forgot it was a commercial company too.
Not just ZPanel. A friend of mine used to regularly submit security-related issues and PRs to a variety of PHP projects (from very small to very big), and it almost inevitably ended in some variation of this. As a result, the state of security in PHP-land is sad, to say the least.
He's since given up on this as well.
I dont feel the price change will help with their support or anything. I also do not think they should offer an saas option. They have had too many security issues and lack of support to make that a viable option for them at this time.
Yep its pretty good for the price in my opinion it really depends on what you need ubersmith offers some solutions that whmcs doesn't as well as the other way around.
Look at their products features, really nice and good. But the price really too much expensive to me.
I've been using ClientExec for a few years now, and although it's not perfect and required quite a lot of custom bits adding it works well for me. One of the things I like about CE is how friendly their support is, they even provide some decoded php files if you want to customize something.
@OnApp_Terry, are you thinking of changing SolusVM pricing? I hope not.
We have no plans to increase pricing.
If any interested customers would like to signup for a contract, you can do so by emailing Shaffi, the SolusVM product manager, at [email protected].
So v2 release in 2016 or naa?
been wait for v2 until my neck getting longer
lol, I have asked on WHT many times, LET many times, Twitter, Facebook, email, ticket, they don't answer, at all, not even diversionary tactics, just no answer at all, it has become a bit silly now, I will keep asking every time they pop up far any reason though.
I highly doubt you will get an answer or confirmation that SolusVM is dead. I would honestly think that they would purchase any onapp competitor, prior they update SolusVM.
I can live with the 2x times pricing change on WHMCS, we'll see if they actually improve anything. Though, I am pretty sure they will crunch the increased income they get in fighting incomming DDoS attacks against their new hosted solution.
39.99$ month means in 2 years you pay for 3 lifetime licenses lol
So do I, does not stop me asking though
It's a little more complicated - you have to factor in that you need to pay maintenance on the owned license (assuming you want updates/patches).
If your new provider and on a budget it would dig a hole in your pocket pretty fast. If your smart I'd skip even looking at WHMCS there are better billing systems out there that are more affordable. They still haven't updated there backup system makes you wonder if they even use it?
I wish this were true, but in all of these years there's been no suitable replacement for all of the features WHMCS has to offer. We even tried switching to Blesta a while back (we still have an owned license) but when we started putting together a list of all the things I needed to manually add the list got so long we realized it wasn't worth the effort because we most likely would have missed something until the day we needed it resulting in me dropping everything I was doing to add it that day.
A provider on a budget under $40 is not a provider. It's like a kid playing house. Why is WHMCS responsible for your backups?
