Guys any feedback on this software/license - anyone using it ? any feedback ?

Why not use WHMCS instead?

 

[kjbanks]

A few reasons, don't like the interface much and the annual subs for the plugins. So you pay for it forever which is not great , hostbill has name, enom and zacr.

And so does WHMCS

If you don't like the interface you can get a pretty modern theme for under $50, but paying $6000 once off for HostBill is quite expensive don't you think?

With WHMCS you pay $15 per month and once you get bigger / start to earn more revenue you can purchase all of those extra add-ons.

WHMCS has a lot of free add-ons as well such as enom module. Some ISP's make their own modules for free.

If you aren’t into WHMCS then consider Blesta?

generally for client management for domains and service sales etc, Cloud for Google is for a client we have provisioned over 75% of our platform in the hetzner cloud however have some clients that must have SA presence hence the other question

Just grates me to pay annually for add ons when you can get a solution like hostbill that offers zacr / name and enom all included so you free to focus on set up and deployment without paying every month and again every year for the add ons.

I see you use whmcs - have you sorted ZACR and name.com ?

For domain registration? There are a lot of free (if not all) modules that you upload to your WHMCS Example: https://marketplace.whmcs.com/product/602-za-domains-coza-whmcs-module-zacr-epp

Depends on how you are doing it right now - if you have 500 accounts on WHM you can import them to WHMCS https://www.hostwinds.com/guide/how-to-import-accounts-from-whm-into-whmcs/

nope they are all in ZACR - domains only - hosting in various vps

 

[Ruan @ Webluno]

If they are all in ZACR and you are using the ZACR module there would be no reason to mass transfer the domains since they are already with ZACR

You will need to create each account individually and then assign the domains to each account/user.

Selling and Managing Domains - WHMCS

In WHMCS, you can configure your domain registration and pricing settings and choose a registrar to customize how you sell domains.
