Hi All,

After several weeks of anticipation, we have now integrated these 2 popular payment processors into phpManager so that, similar to PayPal, your customers accounts can now be setup automatically upon receipt of payment :D

As it is now all automated, your clients can be up and running in minutes!!!

If you do not require this feature, it can always be deactivated.

If you would like more information on phpManager, please visit our website (http://phpmanager.taysoft.com/wht.html) or view this (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29009) thread.

Nice improvement......

Also, I like the new interface. I definitely have to think on buying this now. =)

If you ever get it synched with Plesk, I'd be as happy as a clam (the fresh ones, not the frozen and breaded ones in your grocer's freezer, those don't seem all that happy...).

Hi there,

Nice improvement......

Thanks :D

Also, I like the new interface. I definitely have to think on buying this now. =)

phpManager is fully template based and supports themes/skins, so if you don't like the default theme (The original one), you can always use another. The theme that is on our demo now is our "Classic" theme and looks a lot more professional.

Chicken: We are working on the plans to integrate it with Plesk as we realise, as with 2Checkout/Revecom, this would be another BIG promotional push :D

Any chance of Ensim webPliance 3.0 :rolleyes:

We will be looking to support further control panels, but most of the webhosts that this software is suitable for tend to use either CPanel or Plesk so we are concentrating on these two just now :)

Can it be integrated with other billing systems, specially ibill?

Thank you,
Ahmed

Hi there,

Does Ibill accept and send form feedback variables? If it does, then I don't see the problem.

If you have the feedback instructions, please send them to me and I'll look into integrating Ibill :)

Please stop distracting him from Plesk integration! j/k :D

Plesk would be nice!

Actually, I'm torn between plesk and cpanel. Any tips!?

I like plesk, but don't want to turn users away from my company just because of the control panel.

Hi Locutus,

Well, here is what ibill says in their site:

PIN Coding:
PIN Coding is intended for the more advanced Web merchant who already has an existing program such as CGI, Cold Fusion, or ASP currently running on their Website and just needs an instant payment verification method. This option attaches a unique pincode to each transaction that is passed back to your Website for validation against a list of PIN Codes that is provided by iBill. This is a great application for those clients selling subscriptions, newsletters, e-zines, voice mail, and Web hosting packages.

So, does this take care of it? *really hope so*

Chicken, don't worry, I won't! :). I am waiting for plesk integration too as it is what I am using, but I just wanted to make sure that it'll integrate with my payment system too!

If this happen, it'll be all what I wanted ! *crossed fingers*

Best Regards,
Ahmed

Well, this is discussed (just a few times) in the CP forum, but I think they have different strengths and weaknesses. I think it depends on your clients to a degree. A RaQ was fine for mine and Plesk is a bit overkill in some areas. Plesk doesn't have the form mailers and forums etc., all set up, and certain clients might appreciate that stuff.

hello I am interrested in your product as soon as the PLESK integration is done - how soon are we looking at and can you guarantee the WHT purchase price will be the same when the PLESK integration is included? Will the 1 year upgrades include PLESK/other panels integration or will that be extra ?

Hi there,

we don't have a set date at the moment for integration with Plesk as we are still working on our current batch of updates.

Yes, the WHT price will stand for phpManager 1.0 which will include all upgrades for 1 year.

We have no plans to change the pricing for version 1.0, but when phpManager 1.1 is released, the price "may" change, but 1.0 will be upgradeable to this version as the project is an ongoing process.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Locutus

Hi,

Anything about the integration with ibill yet?

Thank you,
Ahmed

Looks promising. As soon as the current batch of updates are complete, I'll take a look at it :)

Can you guarantee that if I sit on the fence waiting for PLESK integration, that I will not have to pay more to buy the software ?(which I certainly *will* do as soon as PLESK is integrated):)

Hi there,

Although we do have plans on integrating Plesk, we are not 100% certain because the problem with Plesk is that it is already a near complete package as it already has client management and automated signup (via scripts available on their site). The only thing it doesn't have is billing and ticket support. To be honest, this would probably be the only thing that phpManager can offer Plesk users, which, subsequently, doesn't even require integration with Plesk.

The only thing I can think of that would be integrated would be the auto-signup so that it adds clients to both phpManager and Plesk databases, but that could be considered pointless as nothing is stopping you from just adding clients manually to phpManager without using Plesk. As for control panel integration (As with CPanel just now), again, Plesk is a completely different story. Control panel wise, Plesk is so badly handled (Albeit less buggy).

Come to think of it, we could probably fully integrate Ensim in a quarter of the time it would take to integrate Plesk. I'm just wondering, whats the market like for Ensim users vs Plesk users?

In conclusion, its entirely upto yourself whether you want to wait for Plesk integration. I can't guarantee that it can be done (Even if it can, it won't be upto the level of integration as seen with CPanel/WHM or maybe even Ensim) as Plesk won't allow us to modify their signup scripts which means we have to do it from scratch. If you can live without auto-signup and only require a billing/support solution that doesn't require integration, then phpManager will provide you with that. Although still in it's infancy (3 weeks and overwhelmed by the success), future updates will bring it upto the same standard, if not already, as other client management systems, but at a fraction of the cost. As it stands, it is nearly 80% completely integrated with CPanel and WHM.

As for the price increase, I'm not sure whether to say this or not as it could detriment our long term revenues but, once our current batch of major updates are complete (All CPanel/WHM related), we will start work on ver 1.1 which will support more payment processors and possibly Ensim or Plesk. There "may" be a price increase (Please note the quotes), but as I said in another post, ver 1.0 users are able to update their scripts to this version by downloading the available updates that are included in the price.

Before I finish off, I would just like to make the following statement to those waiting for Plesk integration: We CANNOT guarantee it will or can be integrated with Plesk. If you only require billing/support, phpManager can provide you with that as it stands i.e It will be more of a third party utility rather than a complete integration as it is with CPanel/WHM. Ultimately, the decision is yours to make.

Ok, now that that is out of the way, I would like to know how many Ensim users out there may be interested in phpManager? If you are, please can you let us know.

Locutus

Another user in my University must have logged on before me and forgot to logout :D

ENSIM!

YES! :D

Although we do have plans on integrating Plesk, we are not 100% certain because the problem with Plesk is that it is already a near complete package as it already has client management and automated signup

while it is true that there are automatic signup scripts (and backup scripts) available from PLESK - they are very difficult to use and I would expect that the VAST majority of PLESK users have not implemented them

If you could integrate this into your program - I would definately sign up
