accounting and billing system
I have a small hosting business that is starting to grow now, I don't want to be in a position in a years time forgetting who has paid and when they should pay. I am after something that will automate the whole procedure so when I get a website and they host with me that they put their creditcard details in and it is debited on whatever plan they choose, monthly, quarterly or yearly. Thanks for any suggestions.
Thanks

I second the vote on Modernbill.
It takes a little work to get up and running correctly, but it is a fully integrated billing and account management system, so there's a lot to think about.
There's a decent manual for it, but expect to spend a good couple of days getting it running the way you want it.
Then don't expect to know your way around using it for a couple of weeks, as it's interface can be a little tricky to get used to.
But that's part of having so many options.
Once it's set up, it can take care of everything from creating the accounts on your server, automatically invoicing customers, suspending non paying accounts, registering domains, and shining your shoes.
It can also can integrate with eSupport ticketing software which is useful.

We have used ClientExec, WhmAutopilot and just switched to Lpanel www.lpanel.net
The Lpanel install took less than 10 minutes. We were configured and running the same day.
There are several options for billing software, you will want to review the features and find one that works for your business model.

If you have any programming skills then program a simple billing system for yourself. Thats what I did and it works great.
However, I dont know how to integrate it with Plesk yet

AWBS looks good. But all of them very complex.

There's always that learning curve in setting something like this up. Just sit down and open up the respective manuals and just work at it. It ends up being quite simple and can save you a ton of work/time in the long run.

WHMAutopilot has been working well for us. Easy to integrate into your site design, several user contributed add-ons found in the forums.
