    • Did you perhaps log in with the wrong account to reply to this post and quietly name drop the site there? Or perhaps you used AI to write them both and missed where it answered you with your own name and simply pasted it here? Very odd. 
    • Nathan, the export question is the one I'd nail down before paying anything — some tiers only let you pull code on higher plans, which quietly locks you in once the project grows. I'm weighing a similar choice for a small inventory helper and leaning toward starting on a free tier just to see how fast credits actually burn. I came across a comparison at Best Framer Alternatives (2026) https://aibuildercompare.com/alternatives/framer that lists plan differences, though I can't vouch for how current the numbers are. My worry is that monthly credit limits bite faster than the marketing suggests once database calls are involved.
    • Thanks for writing this up properly, the repro steps are clearer than most tickets I've seen. Nobody's replied in a while, so a few things that might help anyone else who lands here while it's open.   On the expiry part: I don't think that piece is a separate bug. Per the Promotions docs, the expiry date only stops the code being used on new orders. Anything that already has a recurring promo attached keeps it on future invoices until the "Set Recur For" count runs out, and if that's 0 it keeps it forever. So once promoid gets written to the domain, the expiry won't save you. The real bug is the first half, the promo getting associated with a TLD it never applied to.   Until it's fixed, what I'd do on a live install:   1. Audit it. Take a DB backup, then pull every row in tbldomains where promoid isn't 0 and join it to tblpromotions on the promotion id so you can see the code and its Applies To list next to each domain. Any domain linked to a promo whose Applies To has no TLDs (or not that TLD) is affected. On most installs that list is short enough to check by hand. 2. Clean it. Set promoid back to 0 on those domains only. Then check for unpaid renewal invoices that already went out with a PromoDomain line, because clearing the field won't touch invoices that already exist. Edit those or cancel and regenerate them. 3. Limit the damage going forward. For hosting-only recurring promos, give "Set Recur For" a real number instead of leaving it unlimited, so even if one leaks onto a domain it stops on its own. If you run promos for marketing, it's also worth telling staff not to apply them in the cart when a client is only renewing domains. 4. Recheck after each cron run for a while. A saved query you rerun weekly is enough to catch new ones until a fix ships.   Have you opened a ticket with this repro? If support gives you a case ID, please post it here so others can track it in the changelogs. Did you also test this on 9.x, or only 8.13?
    • I'm Nathan, based in Cheyenne, and I'm exploring an AI app builder for a small side project. Before committing to a monthly subscription, I'm trying to understand how the pricing tiers stack up for a solo user who mainly needs basic app scaffolding and maybe occasional database integration. The tiers seem to range from free plans with limited generations to paid plans that unlock more credits and export options. One concern is whether the entry-level paid plan is enough for a simple project, or if I'd quickly hit usage limits and need to upgrade. I also wonder if free tiers restrict exporting the code, since that would matter if I later want to move things elsewhere. I haven't signed up for any trial yet and am just gathering third-party pricing info. For those who've compared these tools, how did the real monthly costs play out for small projects, and were there hidden limits I should watch for? Any input would help.
    • Still weighing this - checking Best AI Mobile App Builders (2026) https://aibuildercompare.com/best/ai-mobile-app-builders to see how these platforms handle API calls and authentication, since that's the part I'm least sure about. Not confident it settles the WHMCS question, but it gives me more to compare before committing to a builder.
    • @Michael Wilson I'd go 2 GB as the floor, and here's why from running a few of these.   At your size WHMCS itself isn't heavy. What eats memory is PHP-FPM workers plus MySQL/MariaDB with a sane InnoDB buffer pool, plus whatever panel you bolt on. On 1 GB it works until the cron, a backup and a few client logins overlap, and then you're swapping right when the invoice run is going. 2 GB with a small swap file gives you breathing room. Get NVMe or at least SSD storage. Cheap plans on spinning disk or heavily oversold storage are where cron jobs crawl, and you can usually tell by testing disk speed in the first week.   Before you move, check why the invoice runs struggle now. On shared hosting it's often not raw power but the account limits: CloudLinux LVE caps on CPU or entry processes, a short max_execution_time, or the cron being run through wget/curl over HTTP instead of the PHP CLI, so it gets killed partway. Your Activity Log and the cron output will usually show it. That tells you whether you need a bigger box or just your own limits.   On the panel: I'd keep WHMCS on its own server, separate from the cPanel server your clients are on. That way a client site getting hacked or hammered doesn't take billing down with it, and you're not paying for a cPanel licence just to host WHMCS. A plain Linux VPS with nginx or Apache, PHP-FPM, MariaDB and the ionCube Loader is plenty. If you don't want to manage it from the command line, a free or low-cost panel is fine. Just make sure it supports the PHP version your WHMCS release needs, since some lag behind.   Things I'd do differently looking back: 1. Set up off-server backups of the database and the attachments/downloads folders from day one, not after the first scare. 2. Run the cron as the site user with the PHP CLI, using the exact command shown under Automation Settings. 3. Plan the licence move. Your licence is tied to the server IP and directory, so reissue it from your WHMCS client area when you switch. 4. Put the admin area behind an IP allowlist or at least 2FA, since it's now on a box only you look after. 5. Pick a provider that lets you upgrade RAM in place. That's what saves you from migrating twice, more than guessing the perfect size now.   What PHP version and WHMCS version are you on? That narrows which OS image I'd start from.

    • I run a small WHMCS install for a handful of clients from South Dakota, and the current shared setup is starting to show its limits during invoice runs. Nothing fancy here — just a handful of cPanel accounts and a couple of addons. I'm looking at moving to a budget VPS instead, but I'm not sure where to draw the line on specs. Some hosts push 1 GB RAM plans, others say 2 GB minimum just for PHP and MySQL to stay comfortable. I also worry about disk I/O during cron jobs and whether a cheap control panel is worth the tradeoff. I'd rather not get stuck migrating twice. If you've moved a similar-sized WHMCS install to a budget VPS, what RAM, storage type, and panel did you settle on, and what would you do differently?
    • 🤣🤣🤣 Well if it were my first day, maybe
    • You are correct and this is what we wound up doing in the end: Product Add-on. Our needs are unique so it involves some manual intervention. Since these are actually hidden options - sold rarely and only upon request - it works for our purposes. Just to be clear, we solved this several months ago but since your answer now is spot on what we did, I've tagged it as a solution for others to refer to.
