Visit WHMCS

WHMCS is a web hosting automation platform that handles billing, service provisioning, client management, and customer support in one system. It automates invoicing, recurring payments, taxes, and reminders, while provisioning hosting accounts and domains through control panel and registrar integrations. Support tools include a ticketing-based client portal, knowledgebase, downloads, and service status tools.

Core capabilities include billing automation, service provisioning, client management, revenue reporting, and an integrated ecommerce store with multi-currency checkout, domain reselling, and SSL add-ons via MarketConnect. It integrates with control panels such as cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin, along with domain registrars and payment gateways, and offers documented APIs and ORM for custom development. WHMCS is part of the WebPros family.

WHMCS targets hosting providers, agencies, managed service providers, and resellers. It is available as self-hosted software installed on your own server or as a fully managed cloud edition. Self-hosted plans are tiered by active client count with email support, while higher tiers add live chat and priority support. The cloud edition offers tiered plans by active client count with usage-based pricing for additional clients, includes premium add-ons such as Project Management and Software Licensing on select plans, and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
