I guess you must choose DirectAdmin or cPanel.. Because I think their are no controlpanels that works with ISPConfig for billing etc.

Come on, if your trying to get a whole hosting company off the ground, your going to have to spend, at least, some money (you have to spend money to make money). As far as I know ISPConfig is not supported by any billing program because it is freeware and therefore pointless in being support. Just like you not wanting to spend any money, people who make the billing software don't want to spend there time for nothing.

The best combination for starting a Web Hosting company would be Cpanel/WHM and WHMCS. But if you really don't want to spend money, you could use ISPconfig and phpcoin. They are not directly compatible, but when you receive the order, you could manually create the account in ISPconfig.

That's particularly truth when buying hardware. I do not agree when it comes to software.

As far as I know ISPConfig is not supported by any billing program because it is freeware and therefore pointless in being support.

AGAIN the same silly and pointless argument. Take this for granted:

Freeware doesn't mean no support! Commercial doesn't mean good support!

As an example, do a search on swsoft in this forum to see how good commercial support can be...

But if you really don't want to spend money, you could use ISPconfig and phpcoin. They are not directly compatible, but when you receive the order, you could manually create the account in ISPconfig.

Why would somebody use 2 software when it's possible to find some that has both billing and control panel integrated? I'm not talking only about our product, I'm sure there must be some other open source panel that would do it.
