Do you offer a billing platform with the reseller service?
There are several billing services available, each one different, with its own strengths and weaknesses. At miHosting, we use WHMCS.
There are several billing or invoicing services available. They are all different, and each comes with its own strengths and weaknesses. At miHosting, we use WHMCS.
Your reseller plan will work perfectly with all of them. However, the answer to the question is NO.
Why isn’t it included?
To include this service in our reseller plans, we would have to raise the price considerably, since all of these products are quite expensive. We would also be the ones choosing the product, and in the end you would be the one paying for it. So our decision was to let you choose the billing product that best fits your needs and pay as little as possible for the reseller service.
Some of the programs available for billing are:
- WHMCS: This is the one we use at miHosting. It is a stable, secure solution that covers most of the needs a hosting company may have.
- Blesta: WHMCS’s closest competitor. It is somewhat simpler and less developed, but more affordable.
- BILLmanager, ideal if the **number of clients you plan to have is small. Up to 50 clients is free.
