Itʼs the end of the month, so itʼs time for a new HostBill – version 1.4.6 is out and available to download. Introducing Admin Privileges, Ticket improvements, Free domains, PDF Config, MoIP, QBMS, BrainTree Payment Solutions payment gateway, Nominet, ISPConfig 3 and many other integrated third party modules. Go ahead and check out the new version now!
It’s late here, the release date is tomorrow, and weʼre doing some final polishing on the next version of HostBill. Iʼve decided to check what can be done with the HostBill add-ons system in just 40 minutes. The results of my work will be added into the upcoming release. Clients Online is a really simple yet handy add-on that will show you which of your clients are currently logged-in. It integrates itself into the admin homepage, so you will have at-a glance information about your clients’ activity.
Small, simple box on the admin homepage – now you will know who is online.
I canʼt wait for the new version and your feedback on it!
It’s a matter of single days now until the next version of HostBill is released. With this version we will introduce an add-on especially for hosting company owners. If you own or resell a few dedicated servers spread across different collocations, you probably know the pain of managing contacts for them, or going through dozens of emails to find login details or hardware specifications. Well, worry no more, as now you can have all that information in one place – in HostBill!
With our add-on you’ll be able to manage collocations where you host your servers, contacts to them, and keep information about racks, servers, switches, labels etc. Just take a look at the screenshots:
The next version is coming up, and as I’ve just finished developing this I thought I’d share a screenshot of the new add-on that will be included with the new HostBill (1.4.6). CSV Exporter is a simple tool for everyone who wants to do accounting outside HostBill and who needs a set of data exported from it. Youʼll be able to export invoices, transactions, accounts, domains and client details to be used in any program that is compatible with CSV format.
Hello,
If youʼre a user of a server running Ubuntu and PHP 5.2.x, and you suffer from segmentation faults caused by ionCube – which effectively prevent you from using HostBill – weʼve got good news for you. The ionCube team was able to figure out what was wrong with their loaders on such servers, and recently issued new loaders that fix this issue – so, go ahead and grab the updated loaders for your server from http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php
Weʼre just like you – every day we work our way through hundreds of tickets, processing orders and managing accounts. Aside from development, we perform many repetitive tasks just like you, and weʼre always looking for ways of making these tasks easier:
– Why two clicks instead of one?
– Why have to scroll down instead of seeing everything in one place?
– Why we need to travel miles with the mouse pointer?
You wonʼt be asking yourself any such questions when working with HostBill!
We’re not slowing down 😉 Next version will be delivered sooner than you expect – within 2-3 weeks, and of-course we got some amazing features coming up. Next HostBill version would be all about admin/support-collaboration. On a side of improved administrator privileges we will also introduce Ticket replies drafts feature – your reply will now automatically be stored for later use – so you can start typing reply to ticket, get more information and get back to replying later. Plus other support staff will also know that you’re replying, so no more double-replying of your fast support team;) Screenshot will say it all for you:
Long-awaited Hostbill version 1.4.0 is out! Visit our online demo and experience new features like:
…and much much more! Our integrated third party modules list is still growing, with this version we’re introducing goodies support like:
… and as usual: LOT MORE!
Go ahead and grab latest version of HostBill from our client area!
It’s around one week until next HostBill will be released, and because of this we’ve decided to show you something special – new free HostBill addon which will be included in the next version – PayPal Balance Addon. This simple addon gives you at a glance information about your current PayPal balance. But the best part about it is the simplicity – no need to edit any files!
See how you will be able to start using this (and many other addons):
1. Visit addon management section, and hit “Activate” next to this addon
2. Fill in your API data, and hit Save Changes
3. That’s it! Your homescreen will look similar to this attached below:
Easy configuration…
…and our addon is working!
With the release of the new version we will introduce new feature to HostBill – customizable client fields. During signup client will pick his profile type – Private profile or Company profile and as an administrator you’ll be able to configure which fields need to be displayed for each type of customer. You also will be able to set those fields as required or not and whether or not they should be displayed on client invoice. You will be able to define your own custom fields – lets say you operate in European Union and want your commercial customers to provide their VAT number during signup – nothing simpler with HostBill! Take a look at the screenshots and see by yourself:
Admin section – define fields
Client section – sign-up
