I am currently working on building an alternative to WHMCS, and I would love to get some honest feedback from hosting providers and people who currently use WHMCS. The goal is to offer the same core functionality as WHMCS, including client management, automated billing, invoicing, hosting automation, domain management, support tickets, and payment gateway integrations, but at a much more affordable price. My proposed pricing: $9.99/month $99.99/year The idea is to offer the full feature set without the high monthly cost that can come with existing solutions. I would love to know: At this price, would you consider switching from WHMCS to an alternative? What do you dislike most about WHMCS? What features or integrations would an alternative absolutely need before you’d consider switching? Would you trust a new platform if it offered the same functionality at a significantly lower price? What would you need to see first? I am trying to understand whether there’s genuine demand before going further with development. I am interested in honest feedback, even if your answer is no. Thanks! submitted by /u/DevelopmentNo7581 [link] [comments]

Their customer support, whether through live chat agents or automated bots, is extremely disappointing. You often have to repeat your questions multiple times, and the responses rarely address the actual issue. Instead, you receive generic, templated replies that offer little to no practical help. Many responses are just a single line that fails to resolve the problem. Getting connected to a live agent is a nightmare in itself. It takes far too long, and even after finally reaching someone, you may have to explain everything from scratch. Agents often fail to review the previous chat history, forcing you to repeat the same details and waste even more time. Good customer support should save customers time, not make simple issues unnecessarily complicated. Based on my experience, Bluehost seriously needs to improve its support process, communication, and overall customer service. submitted by /u/Appropriate_Walk_277 [link] [comments]

Hi all, I run a small web consultancy and build static sites for small local clients (restaurants, taxi companies, tradesmen, clubs). I currently deploy them GitHub → Netlify, and I’d like to offer hosting to my clients as a monthly service, invoiced by me. I’ve read that you can “sell” hosting if you’re on the Pro tier, but the terms of service seem to say you need a specific signed agreement with Netlify. I haven’t found a clear answer on what is actually allowed. Questions: Has anyone here resold Netlify hosting to clients on Pro? Did you need a separate agreement, or do you just keep the sites under your own team and bill clients for management? Can you recommend an alternative to Netlify (not Vercel) with similar developer experience: Git-based deploys, previews, forms handling, and built-in email/SMTP sending? Has anyone tried a self-managed route instead, such as a VPS on Hetzner with Coolify? How is it day to day (updates, backups, security, uptime) when you’re hosting 10-20 small client sites? Cost, reliability and low maintenance matter more to me than having every feature. Any real-world experience is appreciated! Thanks! submitted by /u/IndependenceBasic901 [link] [comments]

Has anyone used REA Reverse engineer anything to build an open source Plesk/cPanel? Would love to see this and stop paying these ridiculous price increases! submitted by /u/Full_Astern [link] [comments]
