Custom automation tasks with specified execution time

Custom automation tasks are one of the most powerful HostBill features. HostBill automation is highly flexible as the automation tasks help you to adapt automation options to your needs and to each product, service or account individually.

When creating automation tasks, you can choose from a predefined task list and adjust it to your needs. Each task can be scheduled to be executed automatically on certain events, where you can set the number of days or hours before or after certain events. Now, it is also possible to create custom automation tasks with a specified execution time and not based on an event. It is possible for both Accounts and Domains.


Sell Virtualizor, Webuzo and Sitemush with Softaculous module

Softaculous is the leading Auto Installer currently with 380 scripts for apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, etc. Softaculous is widely used in the Web Hosting industry and it has helped millions of users install applications by the click of a button. Softaculous Licenses module for HostBill will help you become a Softaculous Licenses reseller and provide quick and efficient automatic license provisioning and renewal through the Softaculous NOC API. With this release we’re adding support for other Softaculous products such as: Webuzo, Virtualizor and Sitemush so you can expand your product portfolio with almost no effort at all, as HostBill automation handles all tasks, like creating the license, its autorenew or termination. Client panel allows to display license details/key and change license IP and the admin panel as usual provides access to billing, account lifecycle and client area functions management.

Affiliates: data transfer between affiliates

HostBill has a built-in comprehensive affiliate system, which is a perfect tool to use to gain more traffic and boost sales. New option in Affiliates allows the transfer data between affiliates. From the affiliate profile you can choose the target affiliate and transfer referrals with: past commissions, open balance and/or directly assigned clients. To make the transfer, you need to have the relevant ACL (‘Transfer Affiliate Data’) enabled!
