Billing Systems Overview

Billing System

The platform can be connected to different external billing systems. The exact billing solution available to an account depends on the hosting provider that operates the platform.

Billing System Overview

The platform supports several billing integrations. The hosting provider chooses which billing system is connected to its particular platform installation, so users may see a different billing interface depending on where their account is hosted.

Billing-system availability is provider-specific. Account management, payments, invoices, subscriptions, and related billing functions can therefore differ between hosting providers.

WHMCS Billing System

WHMCS stands for Web Host Manager Complete Solution. It is a widely used web-hosting management and billing platform that automates many business processes associated with hosting services.

Integration note: the source states that WHMCS integration is provided through a dedicated plugin. This allows platform-account management to be handled directly through the WHMCS dashboard.

OBAS Billing System

OBAS stands for Odin Business Automation Standard. It is an automation platform designed to manage the business processes of a web-hosting service.

HostBill Billing System

HostBill is an all-in-one automation solution for online businesses. It combines billing, client management, support, modular extensions, and application integrations within one system.

Stripe Billing System

Stripe Billing is a scalable billing platform for subscription management, invoicing, and payment processing. The source notes that it can integrate with the platform to provide a streamlined billing experience.

Custom Provider Billing Systems

Some hosting providers may use their own custom billing solution instead of one of the standard integrations listed above.

Important: if your provider uses a custom billing system, refer to that provider’s own documentation for details about payments, invoices, account refills, subscriptions, and billing-specific workflows.
