New Billing Software
January 4th, 2008
We’re happy to announce our new partnership with WHMCS! What is WHMCS? WHMCS is an all-in-one solution for web hosting billing software. We feel this is a better solution for our resellers as it includes several key features you will find listed below. This has a full import script to import any data existing customers may have in MB4 or MB5 as well. Not to mention the installation of WHMCS is as easy and painless as can be!
WHMCS also has a built in module for Reseller Central and will work one of two ways. One way to setup automation is to map packages within WHMCS to a location or you can add the optional dropdown to your order form allowing customers to choose from one of ten locations they wish to have their website hosted in.
WHMCS Feature Overview
WHMCS is a powerful integrated client management, billing &
support system. It provides everything you need to manage your clients. Packed
with features while remaining easy to use, we’ve tried to highlight what we feel
are the most important features below. Don’t just assume because you don’t see
something it’s not supported -
contact us!
 |
Powerful & Flexible Billing WHMCS supports Hosting, Reseller, Dedicated Server, Downloadable & Other Non Hosting Related Products. Each product can have custom fields, configurable options, addons, downloadable files and custom welcome emails specific to that individual product. You can also create one off invoices with custom line items - ideal for service invoicing. |
 |
Automated Server & Domain Integration WHMCS can communicate with your servers and domain registrars to automatically provision accounts, register/transfer domains, suspend, unsuspend and terminate services, renew domains, update nameservers, modify whois contact information, upgrade/downgrade packages and more. Also supports server rotation and multiple active registrars concurrently. |
 |
Integrated Support System All clients need support and WHMCS gives you the tools you need to provide it. It features an announcements section, knowledgebase, downloads and support ticket system. The ticket system can handle both registered and unregistered clients, has full email piping and multi-department support with admin assignment. |
 |
Customer Profiles In WHMCS, each of your clients has their own profile section. This contains all their personal information, products/services, domains, invoices, transactions, email history and notes. You can see statistics about the client and manage their details from there including editing when and how much they are due to pay, payment methods and adding notes. |
 |
Payments, Gateways & Invoicing WHMCS comes integrated with many payment gateways and will automatically charge clients credit cards when due. All payments are logged in the system, invoices can be paid using multiple partial payments, clients are credited on overpayment and credit is automatically applied to future invoices. Reminders are sent before payments are due and after. |
 |
Complete Client Area Unique to WHMCS is it’s client area. The client area gives clients one single central access point to manage their account with you, request support, place orders, view announcements and more… It also offers features for non-registered visitors, with a domain checker, server status summary, downloads and browsable knowledgebase. Also has multi-language support. |
 |
Statistical Reports & Summaries To asses how your business is doing, we know it’s important you have the information you need. For that reason, WHMCS comes with a selection of different reports which give you statistical and financial statistics. You can also create your own reports using the modular reporting system |
 |
Customisable & Developer Friendly The client area is fully templated and unlike some systems, you don’t need a degree in programming to be able to edit them! There is no PHP code in the templates - it’s just regular HTML which you can edit in your favorite editor. WHMCS also has an API which allows you to connect with it from other systems and the modular design lets you add what you need. |

HostNine Launches First Ever Globalized Web Hosting Using Reseller Central
August 9th, 2007Web Hosting Resellers can now manage all their domains across multiple cPanel servers using one interface.
Jupiter, FL (PRWEB) August 9, 2007 — HostNine LLC, the leading shared web hosting company launches Reseller Central, the first ever interface where resellers can manage all their domains across multiple cPanel servers around the world. Resellers no longer have to purchase multiple accounts with multiple companies to delegate their domains across different servers. Reseller Central was designed from the ground up by the HostNine team and replaces the WHM control panel completely.
Customers can host their domains in locations around the globe including London, Australia, Ireland, California, Chicago, Cedar Falls, Texas, Virginia, New York, Florida, and more. Resellers can choose from any of the available cities when adding domains in the control panel. “We have spent the last six months developing a solution that will allow our customers the freedom to host all their domains from one centralized interface without having to login to multiple control panels,” said Ben Gabler, Director of Operations at HostNine.
Gabler coined the phrase “Globalized Web Hosting” as a way to describe the new HostNine service. Customers using Reseller Central can host their sites in London and the US or any combination of cities throughout the world using HostNine’s centralized management platform. “If a reseller wants to host all of their accounts in Chicago, there are so many nodes in each location the chances of them ending up on the same node in the same location are slim to none,” said Gabler. That way if there is an outage on a node it does not affect the reseller’s entire account, only the domains delegated to that node. Reseller Central acts as a centralized management layer on top of an infinite amount of servers distributed throughout data centers around the globe. HostNine can add additional nodes to any location at any time.
Reseller Central lets resellers spread their accounts across multiple servers, networks, and locations. “Some of the biggest challenges facing resellers today is finding a service that will provide superior uptime and reliability,” said Gabler. By using Reseller Central, HostNine can significantly decrease the maximum number of accounts on a single server. Doing so results in faster response times, quicker connections world-wide, and lower CPU and Memory usage on the server.
Reseller Central completely changes the concept of web hosting and reliability all together. With DNS clustered all around the world, and hard drives replicating twenty-four hours a day, maintaining near 100% uptime is now a reality.

HostingCon Results
July 30th, 2007So things are finally back to normal for me after an AMAZING convention in Chicago. Alex and I were lucky enough to meet 90% of the FastServers.NET team and man was it fun. From meetings, and cruises to Chicago Style Pizza we had a blast. We pretty much hang with the same group of the industry leading individuals that attend these events. Some but not limited to would be Aaron and Shane of FastServers.NET, Ben Welch of WebHostingUnleashed/ResellerGuide, Sean and Dan from ModernBill/dNzoom, Steven from Insider Hosting and brother Brandon, Dave and Eric from cPanel, Tito of Microsoft, Todd of SwSoft, the crazy Devin and Jeremy from PingZine!, Dave and Sean of TouchSupport, Carlos and Jess of Applied Innovations, Hal from Netwisp, Matt from WebHostingBuzz, and new friends Amy of Lunarpages, Ben from TechPad Agency, Michael from Webhostingstuff, man we met so many people in Chicago it’s hard to list them all. We even had the chance to meet a few of our reseller customers which was great! It really gave us a good perspective of our our customers view our company and operations which is always a good thing in my eyes.
If you didn’t make it to this year’s HostingCon I highly recommend attending next year. Word has it that it will be in the same place the Navy Pier in Chicago (Wonderful area). This show just keeps getting better and better every year.Definitely wouldn’t miss it for the world.
This year Day 1 was mostly traveling and getting situated so night 1 consisted of drinks with the fastservers team when we landed then we attended the networking reception outside the convention hall which was really nice.
Day 2 was the first day the exhibit hall was officially open so that consisted of a lot of networking with various vendors (Lots of great new things on the way for H9ers!). We also had some really neat postcards (I’ll post those at the bottom) we were handing out at the fastservers booth which were a big hit. So after a day of hard work 
the night came and we headed to the fastservers + tophosts networking cruise which was a huge hit. Three hours of relaxing industry talk on the lake was awesome. I was really blown away by the skyline in Chicago. After the cruise we all headed to a local bar “Leg Room” with the cPanel guys which was a ton of fun.
Day 3 was a ruff one after the long night on Day 2 so we pretty much took it easy most of the time on the convention floor. Around 6PM we headed to the rooftop BBQ after a meeting with modernbill and it was great. Live music with some of the leading individuals of the industry just relaxing. No phone calls, text messages, IM’s, just straight up relaxing which is what I think we all get to do about… once a year haha. Around 9PM or so the fireworks started which was really cool. Then we all headed back to the hotel and hung out with the FS.NET guys and got that Chicago Style Pizza ohhh yeah.
Day 4 I don’t really want to talk about because it consisted of horrible delays and traveling haha.
Well that pretty much sums it all up. I’ll leave you with some nice pictures of Chicago and of course a great picture of Alex and I on the Networking Cruise haha 
Can you spot the H9?

HostingCon 2007 is Almost Here!
June 26th, 2007Well it’s that time of year again. What time is that? HostingCon time! This has to be one of my favorite events ever. Last year I was fortunate enough to make it out to HostingCon in Las Vegas and man, it was a blast. From meeting the some of the brightest people in the hosting industry, to eating some of the best food around.
This year Alex and myself will be attending in Chicago, IL on July 23-25 and we wanted to do something special for our customers. What we would like to do is have a chance to meet and greet some of our customers in the Chicago area so we thought of putting together a HostNine Lunch/Dinner. This would not only give us the chance to meet some of the HostNine customers but truly get to know how our service really is day in and day out for them.
So, if you’re in the Chicago, IL area and would like to attend the H9 Dinner please email me at ben@hostnine.com so we can get this arranged. Once again the dates we’re in Chicago are July 23-25 so anytime in there is perfect for a lunch/dinner.
