Well done on getting in your first 2 clients... With the problems with WHMCS just open a support ticket on WHMCS.com and I am sure they can help you.

Congrats to everyone and did you all offer uncharacteristic deal such as unlimited bandwidth and space? I hope not and that your setting your business up for success with true plans that you can deliver because negative rep can crush your hosting business.

I want to let everyone know not to take it the wrong way and do not want to take away of your recent success. Best of luck with your hosting Business! If you all don't mind listing your companies website I think it will give us all a better understanding about it.

Good job on the website and thanks for posting it. A word of advice is you should make a signature on the forum so each time you post people can view your website (free advertising) but make sure you read the rules :P

Your website needs a bit more of graphics although text is great for SEO. Nice domain name though :agree:

Congratulations. I just got my first not to long ago as well for $30/month. It's a good feeling. :D

Advertising is the tough part, but once you have one, hopefully they refer other people and it starts to snowball.

weird..he sounded like he wanted to take care of the rules, but looks like he got something wrong and now he's disabled

Hi!
Aye! I saw this coming once I did a bit of digging.

Why was he disabled? My gut tells me multiple accounts.

See..If you did a bit of digging..you could have easily found not only his domain..but that it had been registered a little less than a week ago.

Website up..and already customer #1? In less than a week?

Not likely.

Maybe he was doing some intensive advertising. although i disbelieve a customer said "Yup, your absolutely spot-on #1 excellent for support" he might actually have got joe blow through the door.

Oh well.... hes gone now :P
