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.

Dear Clients!
HostBill 2.x security patch.
Last night one of our clients notified us about potential security threat affecting HostBill versions 2.x, which may allow to access admin area with previously stolen session cookie.

Please download this patch as soon as possible: https://hostbillapp.com/clientarea/index.php?cmd=module&module=downloads&file=11
To apply patch please extract archive contents in your HostBill directory, or upload its contents directly to your install (there is only one file that requires overwriting).

HostBill users recently reported issue with OnApp 2.1RC4 module.

Problem:
When creating billing plan using API it’s not possible to create machine as a client, as OnApp throws HTTP500 + bad response error.

Solution:
We’ve created patch for OnApp Full-Featured module 2.1. To apply it please download your copy of module again from our client area, and extract archive contents in main HostBill directory.

Patch drawbacks:
This patch hard-codes clients’ cpu-shares to unlimited (it’s not setting cpu-shares limit in OnApp), and for new machines created from HostBill client area it sets cpu-share to 1, despite of slider settings.
