HostBill
Billing and automation platform for web hosting businesses
HostBill is a self-hosted automation, billing, client management, and support platform designed for online service businesses, particularly web hosting providers. It addresses the complexity of managing customer acquisition, invoicing, service provisioning, domain management, and customer support through a single system, reducing the need for multiple disparate tools.
The platform includes modules for automated billing with recurring invoices and flexible billing models, hosting and domain automation with full service lifecycle management, and a client support system with a ticketing system and live chat. It offers over 500 built-in integrations, including hosting panels like cPanel and Plesk, payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal, domain registrars like Enom and ResellerClub, and various apps for IP management, password management, and LDAP. A client self-service portal provides a single interface for customers to manage their services.
HostBill is aimed at hosting companies, cloud and VPS providers, data centers, managed service providers, and telcos. It is packaged as a one-time license fee with four editions: Startup, Enterprise, Data Center, and All-Inclusive. All editions include a 30-day money-back guarantee and one year of updates, with varying numbers of support cases and included integrations. The license is lifetime and supports unlimited clients and staff members.
