Thoughts On WHMCS License

[Sandino]

Dude im just trying to make a few bucks here not rule the world or take over worldstream. Its hosting man not rocket science geez. Dont make it something its not like you have some big secret knowlage... its hosting.

exactly why kiddies shouldn't be opening websites and calling themselves "companies". -- you just want to make a quick buck.
if you were a "company" all your software would be legit.
if you were a "company" you would know why you shouldn't use unlicensed software.
if you were a "company" you would know that yes, hosting is not rocket science because rocket science is rocket science, but it is hard and time consuming and if you don't know what you are doing, you WILL fail.

just quit replying to people as you'll never see their point. obviously YOU are wrong, since everyone has already proved you wrong but you don't see it
just go run your "company", i'm sure you won't be around in a few months if you continue how you do.

either way, just do what you want to do. no one really cares to be honest, and you'll never agree with what people are telling you.

True. Think nicely what you have to do because you won't be agreeing to anyone as you have already decided not to buy it and you are stating reasons why not to buy.

And like someone said, if you are a "COMPANY", why not pay $15 for a license.

Gotta say man your site looks awesome and all the integration is cool. About the license, I do see where you are coming from and I find it stupid cause it's only wj that people actually check for your license. Till 4 months ago, I was always buying hosting from DP and yes those sites are still running and the funny thing is that they have being in business for over a year and yet no whmcs license cause no one cared.

In the end, I rather have a reliable hosting company instead of a company which has tons of money, buys a whmcs license and scams everyone, just like what happened here, numerous times.

Ever since your thread got locked/deleted you've been whining. Just buy the goddamn licence like everyone else did or don't advertise on WJunction. Also, what Sandino said.

 

[dark_hunter]

You can pay for a server that is $100+ but can't pay for WHMCS that is around $13? Kiddies with a passion!

I had said a few things well before my thread was locked. So fuck you too.

I pay for a server thats 100+.... since when? I love how everyone here knows me and what i buy and exactly how much i pay for everything. Im not a kiddie.

Been around well over a year and i been fine so far. Im not a kiddie, and im sorry but everyone here is here to make a quick buck or they wouldn't be "here". No one here has really proved me wrong has most have said they wanted a host with legal WHMCS which i have agreed with. NO ONE HERE has actually been able to prove me wrong and give me anything solid on ahy that matters over just some personal opinion. Like i thought though it really dont do my clients any good if i do pay, they never know the difference. I agree that me not paying may turn some clients away, but its not like thats the only thing... and i haven't seen rules to stop all that either.

No he really didnt.

I know It's stupid to pay 15$ monthly for something that you won't use. But, if you want to be a professional hoster, designer, or what not. You'll buy the license, just to show everyone that you're able to invest in your business. Let's take Phantom from That1Design as an example, he is a vBulletin Master, he probably could code his own vBulletin. So nulling it himself wouldn't be a problem at all. But still, he paid a vBulletin License to use on his Website, even though 50% of the Website is coded by him.

If he didn't pay for the license people on vBulletin.com and vBulletin.org wouldn't respect him as a Coder and Designer. Because he would be using something he didn't pay for.

Disallowing Nulled WHMCS probably (100%) isn't about its security. It's more like to prevent those small-time scammers. Who just do few scams, and take their site offline. It's not that hard to find out who is a scammer and who isn't. Everyone who tries to scam, eventually get his thread here.

Exactly, well said.

Im not going to read all 6 pages, but have people not using WHMCS been mentioned? Not to draw attention to myself but I custom coded my billing solution myself and hence dont have a WHMCS licence.

 

[el_jentel1]

SplitIce, that's perfectly fine. The issue here is using nulled billing systems.

I never said you pay $100 plus for a server, it was an example of how much someone can pay for a server, that is at a high price but can't pay for something as low as WHMCS.

WHMCS is always worth it in the long run, and a long term owned license can always have ways to get latest updates and support.

Monthly is ok too, however it is a little pricey.

 

[Loget]

Isn't there like a decent open source alternative to WHMCS? If there isn't, somebody needs to code one up, looks like it's desperately needed.

 

[salman]

Real Things are expensive

Its because people love open source more, just like Ubuntu and EHCP as hosting Control Panel.
Why are they providing such things for free?
Everyone cannot buy things of such high prices

WHMCS lifetime license without Branding its 350$ i guess
in that price i can buy brand new shiny computer :D)


I will still look forward for some open source billing system just like WHMCS
i am still not a professional coder, i am still learning, i will make a clone of WHMCS as i get free from my studies8-)

 

[pankaj]

I am using this. Its fine too but its not fully secured. So I'll prefer upgrading to WHMCS soon.

no. there are some good ones such as blesta and hostbill, but WHMCS is one of the bigger ones because of all the plugins they have. (They are most popular for their cPanel plugins using cPanel's API).
That's the one of the biggest reasons people use WHMCS.

If there are any open sourced ones, I haven't heard of any, and i've been using whmcs for years

 

[Mywarezhost]

Most of you already know im probably one of the biggest fans of WHMCS there is. In fact i been using it almost 2 years to sell other things other than hosting. WHMCS is so much more than just to sell hosting most just dont see it. Been using it to sell themes and plugins for a while now.

However....

I do not OWN a license. Reason?

A license for WHMCS is just like any other license. 90% of it if just for support and updates, not the actual software which is why i dont have a license. Most of you have seen my WHMCS and there is no way WHMCS would ever support it due to the amount of work thats went into it. Also ill never be able to upgrade due to the same reason. So why would i pay $15 a month or more for 2 things ill never use?

Before you flame me about support? when i had a license when i hosted with cddhosting i sent in a ticket to whmcs asking for help with an issue. The wrote back and said they did not support any whmcs that had been modified which to me is useless. Im sorry if i dont want to pay $15 or more a month to people that wont help me and i cant even use there updates.

For those that havent seen my WHMCS you can view it at http://since83.com

I had a license for a long time, but just seems useless now. The fact that i cant post here anymore offering hosting because of not having a license is just crazy.

if you dont own a license that just means one thing. your to cheap to buy it
