View Full Version : Dedicated Server Billing System?

Does anyone know of a good program that would allow a customer order a dedicated server by choosing certain options (ie. server type, os, etc) as well as being able to add on custom fields with the program auto-detecting the total price for each component?

(Hopefully that made sense...haha :lol: )

Even if there is no such program that has all those features, does anyone know of anything similar? I use ClientExec right now and that does not help for what I'm trying to do.

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like what you're looking for is more of a shopping cart/ordering system than a billing application. Most billing systems include an order form type extension, but the functionality is usually somewhat limited. The easiest way to go about this would be to write the order form to do what you need and then have that relay the order info to the billing system via an API of some sort (even if it's just inserting data into the SQL database). Otherwise you're going to have to find a billing system to write that type of frontend for you (which would either cost money or take time, as you're on their development schedule not your own).

The current version of DRAMS has that feature if I recall correctly, also intregration with cPanel. (http://www.dramsystem.com) See features of their 'plus' version.

It sounds like you just need to pass variables via a form to build a server spec. You can do that quite easily using Modernbill and if you get nocmanager as well you'll be a happy camper :)
