Eyecandy from next version

Hello all HostBill users! We’re working hard on the record-speed release, and I’ve got a little sneak-preview of one of the features. It is a console for our vps.net module (statistics were already introduced on their forum).  I’ve just finished implementing it, therefore it might need some styling. Don’t forget to leave comment below, letting us know what you think and what else needs to be done.

VPS slide

vePortal vs SolusVM vs Panenthe

Now that we know that VPS Management Software can be done better, it’s time to make improvements. We at HostBill also feel responsible for these improvements and we would like to have better API.

HyperVM took big share of VPS management software. When I compare HyperVM to current solutions like vePortal / SolusVM / Panenthe I think it’s better.

We would like to provide full VPS management, not poor solution that most of the billing softwares deliver by default. And they call it “great software”.

Please note we don’t judge any VPS managers, we just compare API. We would like to have all VPS managers integrated into HostBill soon.

Just one thing missing – Xen support. Our customers need this feature. Stable and good VPS managers with Xen support. We are counting on you!
