quickpot Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I have been keeping my eye on purchasing WHMCS for a couple of weeks now but I am patiently waiting for the 2.5 release or at least a working demo link so that I can check it out. So far, demo links do not work and the 2.5 stable release date is getting pushed back. I am at the brink of signing up with another competitor out of frustration but I believe WHMCS is a better script which is keeping me from doing so. Question: Will WHMCS be able to manage multiple cPanel servers? What if I want to rotate user account creation among 3-4 servers. Can WHMCS do this automatically? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee23 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi, I can honestly say that WHMCS if worth the wait, we have used 3 different ones now (competitors) and have not been satisfied with any of them, however so far WHMCS has more than proved its worth. Do wait, it really is worth it. Regarding the multiple servers, yes it will handle them, we currently have it running 2 servers and are going to be putting another 4 on next week. However i don't know if the 2.5 stable will rotate account creation (if im thinking along the same lines as you), but it will fill one server then move onto the other and so on (from whan i have read). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylap Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 quickpot you will be wasting your time with other billing systems, I have spent 6 years running our hosting companies billing and I have tried nearly all of them, nothing can touch whmcs for ease of use which is the main thing with billing systems. if you buy another product you will be back sooner than later so save your self some money either wait for 2.5 stable release or buy 2.4 and get your businesses billing under control 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thernes Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Why not check out the 2.5 beta while you are waiting. More info here; http://www.whmcs.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=547 (Just keep in mind it's a beta, so you migth still be able to find some bugs, but Matt is busy sorting them all out for the final release) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickpot Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 well, thanks for the reply everyone. I have made up my mind and decided to wait. I heard the script is good but without a working demo, I can't test it! But I will take your words for it. Cheers Waiting patiently.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHMCS CEO Matt Posted August 12, 2006 WHMCS CEO Share Posted August 12, 2006 I too don't know what your talking about. No release dates have been pushed back at all. WHMCS V2.5 was due for BETA release on 31st July which it was, there have since been 4 seperate BETA releases in the space of 12 days (that's an average of one every 3 days), and no date was actually set for the Stable Release. If you are referring to the estimated release date published in the press release back in June then you should be aware this was an estimate and was likely to change. And what demo links aren't working? There are two WHMCS V2.5 Beta demos, both running the latest versions at http://demo.whmcs.com/ and http://beta.whmcs.com/ Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was browsing through the forums and it looks like some people get that error and some people don't. No idea why that's the case. I think it has something to do with DNS issues, because I cannot resolve those subdomains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickpot Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 And I apologize for the release date confusion. I didn't know it was an estimated release date. My fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted August 12, 2006 WHMCS CEO Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi, No need to apologise - just wanted to clear it up - don't want to be known to be like some other billing software providers! Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
