Clean design + additional nice touch of highlighted search results – check screenshot below!

Important Security Update & HostBill 4.0 Release

Within the last few hours we’ve been notified by external auditor about SQL Injection vulnerability found in current HostBill releases.

As 4.0 version is ready it also includes patch for this problem. Please update at your earliest convenience, before vulnerability details become widely known. We recommend using auto-upgrade plugin, to make sure you’re always up-to-date with recent updates/patches.

So whats new in HostBill 4.0.0 ?

Reports in HostBill
HostBill always had nice-looking and insightful graphical statistics, but we realize that sometimes numbers looks better printed, or are even required in this representation. Make sure to check flexible new reports, allowing for drag & drop output adjustments, multiple output formats (HTML, CSV, PDF, TXT & more) & easy report criteria modification in HostBill 4.0

HostBill 4.0.0 Preview: Reports/Audit tools

Soon (on 2012-10-19) HostBill will reach its 4.0.0 milestone. It took us approx. 1 year and over 28 (!) public releases to get here (you can track last year’s progress at http://hostbillapp.com/changelog).

In this blog post we’d like to show you feature that is scheduled for 4.0 release: Reports.

HostBill had (and still has) built-in statistics as graphical representation, but we realize some data look better (and sometimes has to be) presented in numbers and on paper. 4.0 comes with over 20 useful and insightful reports, such as Sales tax liability, support ticket ratings reports, transactions per gateway etc.

Best part is – reports are customizable with drag & drop, and each result set can be limited with custom criteria, to get exactly what you need in fast and easy way!

HostBill 3.9.9 Release

We’re not slowing down! HostBill 3.9.9 has just been released.

BCrypt for Admin & Client passwords
HostBill now creates password using BCrypt. For non-geek readers: BCrypt is hashing algorithm based on Blowfish. How’s that different from older (considered as broken) hashing mechanisms? BCrypt keeps up with Moore Law which in short words means that even in the future with faster machines it will take roughly the same amount of time (in years) to crack single password.
Q: Would my/client’s old password work?
A: Sure, once you will login after upgrade HostBill will automatically rehash your password with the new method.
