Could someone suggest a good program that can do billing/ticketing web based, but not have any automatic features.. i just want it to collect the billing information and store it for me on the server so that i can do all other tasks manually through virtual terminal and also for it to do online ticketing,etc..
Seems the automatica solutions just create more problems so ive descided to do the majority of the tasks manually..

I believe ModernBill encrypts the data and you need a private key to decrypt the data.
I do not believe it forces you to be on a secure connection such as SSL, so as the data is decrypted, you'll still vulernable especially if your accessing the data from a public terminal such as library or a school's computer lab. Some malicious guy could sniff sensitive information as it leaves the server and transmitted to the browser.
Alot of companies are now forced to store CC information in their own databases only because merchant accounts such as Authorize.net is no longer recording the full CC#, and so it's quite difficult to charge anyone on a monthly recurring charge automatically or manually without recording this information locally.
Back to your question, MB does have a billing/ticket system, but to be extra cautious, you probably want to access the system via SSL.
