Directadmin billing whmcs alternative
I only sell directadmin shared and reseller hosting and looking for a new billing solution, I had another looked at whmcs and found it too bloated as all I need is auto provision, billing and ticketing. I was interested in @GCAT webby panel as it looks ideal but doesn't support DA.
Does anyone know of an alternative billing solution I could use? I used accountlabplus and ihostdev many years ago but ALP hasn't been updated for a long time so worried about security. Also found https://hopebilling.com but can't find any reviews on it.
Can anyone recommend an alternative to whmcs?

blesta?
@lurch,
WHMCS is kind of ideal for Directadmin/Cpanel servers. It's not perfect by any means but shared hosting is probably where the system is strongest.
Blesta is quite alright but it's not really cheaper than WHMCS and in my opinion not as good as WHMCS. Blesta probably has fewer bugs but it's far less flexible and I wonder how many bugs you will encounter doing simple shared hosting.
But if you really don't like WHMCS, Blesta is a reasonable alternative.
For what it's worth, Blesta is by far the most well-organized and well-designed billing system I've seen so far. I can't speak for its usability or suitability for the purpose, but in terms of code quality it's absolutely no contest.
Apart from Blesta:
HostBill.
BoxBilling.
ClientExec.
The most matured out of those is ClientExec. BoxBilling has a free version. HostBill charges you for tickets and is much more expensive than the other two.
Few more:
Many thanks I do like box billing but worry about updates etc.
Also found https://hopebilling.com but can't find any reviews on it.
I know this is almost a year old but I couldn't find anywhere reviews about hopebilling. Maybe does anybody of you have experiences with this?
Well I have been Using HopeBilling and have been actively involved on their forums too, its a pretty good panel but it has some bugs too... I would suggest you to try it out.. and if you face any issues post it on the forums someone will help you out
Hopebilling is pretty good bro... I found it lot better than Box Billing!
Fork your own WHsuite

That's too buggy. Was using it for some time but it's not worth it. If HopeBilling is safe to use I think I'll try that.

I'm kinda kidding.
I am pretty sure the op already decided. This is a last year post. For what it is worth I am using boxbilling. It has tickets , auto provisioning , and billing.
Yep I went with blesta in the end and very happy with it.
Mmm. WHAT AN AMAZING PIECE OF CRAP.
