[cartigan]

Hello guys, i`am starting a company based on Brazil, but i`am searching for some TEMPLATE for my website, my budget is max $200.
Also, i`am searching for a solution where i can handle my costumers, and know when the server expires etc.WHMCS i think is too much big for me,i need something smaller and easy to setup.
Thanks.

try themeforest.net for cheap templates, where will you host your servers? try steadfast.net for excellent game server provider.

If you think WHMCS is hard to use I would re consider starting a business.

[cartigan]

I mean i want something more simple, different.

If WHMCS isn't for you, you can go ahead and try ClientExec. As for website, I am sure you can find a designer on these forums that can do a good job for you for $200

You could also try Blesta. Haven't used it myself, but looks interesting.

If you are truly on a tight budget, you might want a free and open-source client. Then again, if you have a very tight budget, I would reconsider getting into the GameServer business itself. It requires a decent amount of initial investment + out-of-pocket purchases until you get a good client-base.

Maybe you should try merging with a smaller company who is looking to expand their services, that way they will handle the billing/client management and you can just do the server management/handling side of things?

[psybergaming]

you should try out the design offers/request section and look for people that are offering premade custom templates.

Which game control panel do you use?

[Hosting50]

Hello,

You might want to use gamecp, as I know it have a billing system in too.

[LuxuryServers]

Gamecp is a great control panel for gameservers that has built in billing.
