OK. I've been on the hunt now for a decent billing system to manage our companies hosting/domains/servers clients and reading through the forum and site it looks like WHMCS could fit the bill.
Here's our background....
Hosting
We currently supply shared/reseller hosting packages on Windows servers. We use Helm v3 for the management of the accounts and also billing. We are also going to be offering Nix hosting through cPanel and this should be live shortly. We have around 30 resellers, 600 users and about 900 domains.
Domains
We currently use AWBS for domain management/billing. We have an Enom ETP account and are also Nominet members. Currently managing about 700+ registrations
Servers
Not much to elaborate on here really apart from the fact we use the Helm billing system to bill for the servers. Only a handful of clients at the moment.
We need a system that we can install on one domain and manage all the above areas from one location. Here's the questions:
1 - Imports: I see there is an AWBS import script which is great but is there a way to import/match up the Helm accounts?
2 - We use Protx for our gateway, how does WHMCS handle recurring billing? Does the client have to login each month to pay?
3 - Does the Nominet module work flawlessly and is able to manage all the appropriate Nominet commands?
4 - On the subject of Nominet, are plans in place for when they finally release their new XML interface?
5 - eNom: as with Nominet, is there full domain management facilities?
6 - VAT: Are VAT calculations handled correctly or is it amercanized first and foremost which we brits then have to work around?
I'd love to try the demo but it looks like it's being upgraded at the moment so I'll give the free trial a bash in the mean time.
