WHMCS - Move away

long time lurker....

I have a reseller hosting package with HostGator since 3 years. Its decent. However, many of my clients have moved away. Most of the remaining accounts are for friends/ family. Just a handful of paying clients are remaining.

HostGator included a WHMCS license with its reseller package. So, I was using that to keep a track of all the accounts.

I do not want to continue with HostGator any more. I am looking for an alternative to WHMCS (free if possible) which can import WHMCS data and allow me to continue the basic functionalities.

Thanks!

  • A good alternative would be probably Blesta/Clientexec honestly. I'm sure @LicenseCart would give you a good price on the Blesta license.

  • Is there any reason you're wanting to move from WHMCS too? There's plenty of other providers out there who include WHMCS in their reseller packages.

    if I can keep WHMCS it will be great. I just have a handful sites now and am not sure if I really need to use a paid billing solution like WHMCS.

    Not sure if any shared hosting providers include WHMCS...

    Since its very few clients, I am not sure if I want to have an additional burden of a paid software...

  • How much does whmcs actually cost in those low volume situations? Just wondering.

    I see BillManager is free up to 50 clients but I don't know anything about it. At my old place we wrote our own and it wasn't that complex.

    Minimum I see is for 250 clients on WHMCS. I dont have that many and seems like an overkill. Just a few domain registrations, a few hosting renewals. thats all.

  • If it's just a handful I'd probably do it with no automation beyond an appointment calendar with reminders, and a text file or spreadsheet to track who has what.

    There might also be some Drupal modules for this type of thing. They exist for almost everything.

  • You're better off working a bit more to get some clients.

    I've used Blesta and it was utter shit compared to WHMCS.

    It's not about a number of Clients but about the functionality you need.

    @LicenseCart is awesome to deal with :) Blesta is awesome too! Go for it :P

    I wonder if just using PayPal invoices and subscriptions might be enough for you then.
