Dear customers,
We’re quite aware that our recent changes in billing model/platform may have caused unintended confusion – we’re here to straighten it up.
Pricing/renewal fees:
All changes in pricing/renewal fees are for new customers only. HostBill respects “grandfather rights”.
If by accident you did not receive what you’ve paid for (renewal fee shows as different, your access to download shows as expired), please contact Licensing Department.
Paid Live Chat/Vies Plugin
You’re still free to use mentioned modules – those become paid for new customers only.
Bug fixes will be provided in future for both free and paid versions. New features will be introduced for paid versions.
New version of HostBill is available, next to exciting developer updates we’ve introduced two modules you might find useful:
Extended Fraud Protection
A Web-Hosters community powered fraud protection module. Next to standard HostBill fraud prevention you will also gain access to HostBill’s webhosting fraudsters IP database – to lower risk of fraud and chargebacks.
