Any billing program available that does sign up/automatic account creation with cpanel/and billing? I want to know of other software, other than modernbill that will work on a reseller account.


Thank You:cool:

yeah but thats a bit pricey. I guess as an alternative, any billing programs that help with sign up/ and billing...and that going through paypal or something like that would be acceptable

Well, there's ClientExec http://clientexec.com which is what I use. Or there's phpmanager http://phpmanager.com and Perlbill http://perlbill.com

Or for free
phpcoin http://phpcoin.com

Does client exec, automatically create an account in Cpanel/whm?

And referring to the free billing program, NiXT whmManager v2.0
does NiXT support automatic account creation?

Not yet. According to Alberto, auto-provisioning features will come around version 1.5.

I would be cautious, however about implementing automatic account creation. By doing so you eliminate the manual checks to be sure the person purchasing is not a known spammer or fraud. I personally will not take that risk.

This all depends on how active you are in your sales and support department. If you never let more than 30mins to an hour go by before you see new sales and verify them, I see no problem with doing it.

If you check your email every 24 hours and are looking for a way to appear more active, automatic creation isn't such a good idea.

OK so i've decided to go the free non-automating account way!

So my choices are
NiXT
PHPCOIN

But which one is better that supports Paypal and others?
Which do people prefer?

Also, when someone signs up, am i notified my email, and in the admin panel, am i given the new users details to insert them into CPanel/WHM

I prefer phpcoin. It has a faq and a help desk integrated also.

I was looking at Moderbill but have been edging towards PHPcoin, is PHPcoin as good as it looks.

I fully agree with you there. I have come across companies offering instant activation, then 3 days later suspending the order because they found something wrong. 3 days is way too long...especially if a spammer get's in.

We have just started using whmautopilot and are pretty happy with it to this point. There are some upgrades that need to be made, but the devoloper is very open with the plans for the product. It does have a trial that is available for download if you want to try it.

We do not use the auto activation for the above reasons, but having the account setting in que to allow you to activate and install to WHM in one click works well for us.

Does NiXT or PHPCOIN offer a refferal program, or optional promo code?

No referral program, and promo field as soon as I can get some feedback on how to implement.

Yep- same dude :)

No domain integration yet. I use enom so really wasn't major thought until released. Some have integrated a MrWhoIs script to work in the meantime.

ModernBill will do Billing and Account Creation. Takes a few to setup, but works great once you get it going.
