Some of the staff really care, but it feels like as a company it's just about making money rather than building a great product. I have been trying for years to be able to properly charge correct tax... See more

I really used to like their solution

I really used to like their solution, but the price changes to subscription has really hurt our business model (as a "side gig")

They are completely FRAUDULENT in licensing fees. When you reach a certain number of customers, your license is automatically upgraded, but when your number of customers decreases, they do not adjust the price accordingly. Even though we have 200-300 customers, they have been receiving payments from us as if we had 1000+ customers for a long time. Moreover, they do not give refunds for this. Upgrading the license is automatic, but downgrading it isn't in your company's best interest, right? It's not ethical at all..

Hi Jim,
Thanks for taking the time to write your review.

The application displays a notice to your administrators when you're approaching the limit of your current license tier. To help ensure that you have an uninterrupted management experience, the system will then scale-up to the next tier when you reach that number of active clients and notify you via email.

If you'd prefer to manage your license tier manually, our customer service team have explained how you can to switch off the auto-upgrade setting for your account. We've also adjusted your license tier and issued a second refund for the difference for this month, as requested.

Thank you for choosing WHMCS for your hosting automation needs.

Company abused our trust

Company lost trust, when they offered a lifetime license years ago that later reversed into a monthly licenses with not objections. Then they increased the monthly price of the license that affected stores with 1000+ users.
We are currently in the search for another software and probably FossBilling.
Unfortunately when a company builds a software using our trust and commitment paying what it was at that time like 3 years of monthly service for a lifetime license and later they abuse that trust is not possible to trust them again with further growth as a partner.

Hi Ivan,
Thanks for taking the time to write your review on our software pricing.

We work continually to improve the product including several major feature releases per year and many more maintenance releases in between. The changes we make are essential to ensure continued compatibility with the over 150 3rd party services WHMCS integrates with natively, and so that we may continue to evolve and excel.

Please rest assured that you can continue to use the version of the WHMCS software purchased with your Owned license 13 years ago indefinitely, and we have honoured all Support & Update packages to their conclusion. Software maintenance and security updates are provided in line with our published Long Term Support policy: https://docs.whmcs.com/Long_Term_Support

We transitioned to a monthly pricing model in 2016 and if you wish to update to benefit from the latest updates and new features, it would be necessary to migrate to monthly billing, so that all users are paying the same amount for the same product and 24x7 service.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Service team if you have any questions: https://www.whmcs.com/submit-a-ticket/

Bad support

I've had a negative experience with the support team. It's been over 24 hours and there's still no resolution. I'm encountering an issue with logging in; whenever I enter my credentials and click on login, I'm redirected back to the login page. Occasionally, I manage to access the dashboard, but whenever I try to click on any tab, it bounces me back to the login page.

WHMCS is the standard. Period.

WHMCS is a solid platform with amazing support! So happy I switched from ClientExec to WHMCS. It fully automated by hosting and domain business and has been proven reliable, secure, and robust over the past 10 years. Highly recommend to anyone serious about running a hosting company.

Quick and uncomplicated help.

Quick and uncomplicated help.
WHMCS can help me in many aspects and thanks to them my hosting provider solved the problem I was having.
With the response that WHMCS support gave me, I was able to have the provider verify their server and improve quality/security and support.
