We do offer a whitelabel version of our control panel (same as our control panel), ofcourse that's niche for hourly billed VPS servers.
HostBill is great, their module library is bigger than any other competitors.
Most of the host uses Whmcs, blesta & hostbill.
Paymenter for a hobby projects i guess.
The new thing you mentioned nahh, never heard of, also the pricing, the ui seems not welcoming users.
It got a few updates and addons/plugins which would make it easily useable for multiple hosts on here, that I know. Tho it currently doesn't give you the potentiell to scale to many providers, gateways etc.
Hm, it's focused more on the German market as it's a German company developing it. The owners are pretty nice. AFAIK the UI looks pretty similar to HostBill, but it's still in the early days.
Still doesn't change the fact for me, that WHMCS should be thrown from it's thrown or at least get bigger competition to act more quickly on security and bug fixes and optimizations.
Yep, we will never catch up to WHMCS, I wouldn’t want to, would rather build what people actually want than thousands of plugins that they don’t need. We also focus on different markets as well, not just web hosting, we’ve recently launched a few plugins recently, control panels/domains/ssl providers.
But we also focus on freelancers, companies who want to use us for recurring billing within their applications using our API and our very own white label vpn solution where you get your own apps, billing and customer management all bundled in one price. You just bring your servers you want to offer to your customers.
Honestly, building your own panel is a different beast but in our experience worth it. We run our own custom panel from day one - no WHMCS, no HostBill, no Paymenter. Yes, it's a lot of work upfront, but you control everything: UX, features, integrations, billing logic, design. No waiting on third-party updates, no clunky plugin patchwork, no compromises because "the panel doesn't support that."
For anyone serious about hosting long-term, I'd always recommend going custom over picking from the shelf. The off-the-shelf solutions are fine to get started, but you'll always end up working around their limits at some point.
Yup, a lot of stuff was changed under the hood as well. + domain support will be added soon
The Simple Pricing of WHMDC starts from £25.00/month
We were thinking about to migrate to Blesta. Blesta itself is really great and their upcoming Blesta 6 looks a way better. We also sponsored some mapping files for the migration from WHMCS to Blesta. But still we miss really a lot of modules / plugins. So we had to cancel our plans with Blesta for now.
Hostbill looks not bad, it seems that they offer everything we need. The price seems to be okay.
Unfortunately there is no demo account for Hostbill, they offer money back if you are unhappy with them.
Yeah WHMDC is interesting for sure, especially since it’s trying to be a lightweight, self-hosted alternative to WHMCS without all the bloat and recurring licensing stuff
VIbe-code one, not comically use proper packages, and solutions AI is your tool to put the puzzle together.
Do it properly = good, safe results.
"Monopoly" is a stretch, they literally supply services to those to lazy or not willing to create there own, majority of there user base re-sells everything, or a large portion.
LET Providers with real hardware is the lower % of there userbase.
Why replace stuff, when you can improve stuff?

The new blesta v6 looks great
AI agent + human knowledge with experience = proper output
AI agent + does it without mistakes = the $1 billion startup output
If you can provide the white-label control panel with monthly billing instead of hourly billing, please let me know. Also, could you share the pricing.
Alternatives: cgpt 6, fable. Few weeks. Win.
Win for hackers at least.
(Not like WHMCS is much better though...)
Comercial Software for me it's like this
Hostbil > WHMCS (Only because it's customisable) > Blesta
Paymenter is also good, free and opensourced (I even made few extension and theme for it) but it lacks many features
I don't get what critical features FOSSBilling lacks that prevents people from using it.
One often overlooked point is migrating from WHMCS to another solution. It all sounds easy, but it is far from it. There isn't a nice way and migrations often fail. You have to run 2 systems often parallel which can lead to billing issues etc. No alternative has a good and easy way
At least you can send the hackers to WHMCS for a bug bounty since it is a third party development software
