i have plan to run a small reseller webhosting.
i have few doubts,can anyone clarify?

how can i integrate WHM and billing software?
Is there any free webhost billing softwares available?

can anyone explain the various aspects of webhosting setup?

Have a look at webhostingtalk.com, I believe there was/ or were some free softwares around however they are not reliable and should you want to make a stand in this industry then you should start by investing in some good hardware and software.

Are you looking to start providinfg reseller packages or resell from from the company?

I don't know any free billing software but I can recommend ClientExec, it's what we run. It's simple and easy to use, and isn't too expensive at $15.95 per month, it also integrates with WHM/cPanel to create your customers' accounts automatically if you need.

You can look for free billing software options at
http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/S...e_billing.html

But why not go for a reseller plan with WHM and billing software included? Jaguarpc.com, hostgator.com, ahosting.biz... Plenty of options available around.

The best reselling software is called "WHMCS" (Web Hosting Manager Complete System, IIRC).

I use it (have got a resold license for just $5 per month) and it's really the best billing system around

There is a free software called phpCOIN. Not sure if you can integrate with WHM.
May be whmcs is a better option for you.

If you plan on running a decent Web Hosting you should invest some cash into it, so it would turn out good and make people buy from you... so I would suggest you spend like 15$/month on WHMCS billing system because it's definitely worth it...

Also, WHMCS comes with a guide on how to integrate it and in you'll need, they have support.

Good Luck!

Then there's always H-sphere, which is a control panel and can handle the billing too, and more. That is, if you and/or your potential customers are not too fond of cPanel.

Not familar and not sure about it, but you can have a look at I-panel as well.

CPanel is the best control panel I have ever used. With this panel you may do whatever you want with your web site.

He's inquiring about Reseller hosting, so I wouldn't think buying a control panel would do him much good.

I would recommended trying something like modernbill, or WHMCS for your billing software. Test them both out with their free trial, and see which you like more. In the end, they both provide you with the same thing.

In WHMCS you would put your WHM user name. password, and access key, in order to be able to integrate it with this specific Billing Software. I presume, this is true with many others.

Newneo I believe he has been looking for the free solution

webhostingtalk.com can help ya

I would suggest you to pick up up to five web hosts and to send they requests. Once you get some response you'll be able to test their speed and the way they communicate with prospective customers/customers.

As long as he keeps in mind that sales does not equal support. The departments are often quite separated, with different schedules and skills.

Yes Dan you are right but on the start they are not separated departments - it is one person for sales for support department. That is not bad and quite tipical.

If you are going to start your own business you should see how the management of the large and reliable companies (Bluehost, Ahosting.biz WebHostGiant) is done. You may follow their ways of promotion. \
