I got an e-mail last week, where Tom was wanting to know…
“Hi Mitch, love the podcast. I have just started up a reseller account of my own but I am in need of some billing or shopping cart software that will make it easier to resell the hosting space I have purchased. Any suggestions?”
Sure, phpCOIN is a great solution for this type of problem. Some of the features it provides includes:
- Site Content - create and manage site information for easy display for potential and existing clients. The content is searchable with the “Search” module.
- Order Process – provide a configurable of forms for collecting client information during order process, and provide a single “paylink” at the end of the process to direct the client to third party billing. Search orders feature available.
- Invoices – provide a method of invoicing clients for orders / services in either a one-shot invoice, or as a recurring invoice. Search invoices / transactions feature available.
- Client Management – keep client information profile, order history, invoice / payment history, support help desk ticket history. Search clients feature available.
- Support – provide an integrated support help desk trouble ticket system. Search trouble tickets feature available.
- Contact – provide a means for clients to contact you (ticket system or contact forms) and for the admin to contact the clients
Point your browser to phpCOIN.com and visit the download page to pick up the full package, and then install on your own hosting space. If you have any other alternatives for Tom when it comes to free billing software for web hosting resellers drop in a comment.
Thanks for the nice information.

I personally like using WHMCS. The offer a lot of great features all plugged into one and really support the growth of your business as you grow by being able to add additional operators. If your looking for a good billing and support system in which can also help automate your customer sign-ups this is the way to go in my opinion. I have pasted a banner for them below:
