Annoucing HostBill v.1.0.4 Upcoming Release

It’s a matter of days now until new HostBill version release. With 1.0.4 we’ll be introducing promotional coupons, information pages, custom category cart templates and most importantly new VPS hosting modules integration – SolusVM, vePortal, Panenthe – we’re waiting for update of the API from all of mentioned software developers, so both them and HostBill can give great opportunity for hosting companies owners to introduce VPS hosting management into their offers.

Note that this is only a part of already developed for this version features – visit our forums and let us know what is missing for you in HostBill – we’re looking forward for more great feedback and feature requests!

HostBill v.1.0.2 Released

  • Already known free three months trial for max five accounts created using HostBill
  • Monthly Leased License – unlimited number of accounts, valid for one installation, “Powered by HostBill” line across system – $12.95/monthly
  • No Branded Monthly Leased LIcense – same as above, without “Powered by” line – $15.95/monthly

Detailed release notes on version 1.0.2 can be found on our forum.

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!

Developers, Developers, Developers work hard on your Panels.  You can listen Steve Ballmer and his famous developer’s song.
