Maybe your software will have good features..
But I will never use it..
Why? Because it's contains the word WHM
I'm not a hard-core heater of WHMCS, even I am using it for years..
The only issue for me is if you can't even drop the name then you are not an alternative..
I might try and use it if your software name XYZ or anything except WHM
Anyways it's just my opinion..
GOOD LUCK TO YOU
Thanks for the honest feedback it’s genuinely appreciated.
Just to clarify, the “WHM” in WHMDC stands for Web Host Manager, as in Web Host Manager Desk Cloud - not WHMCS. The name literally describes what the platform is: a modern desk/cloud system built for managing servers, automation, provisioning, and the hosting workflow.
It isn’t connected to WHMCS in any way. The entire platform is built from scratch with its own architecture, its own identity, and a direction that goes far beyond the limitations of the older systems.
Branding can evolve over time, but for now the name simply says exactly what the software is.
Really appreciate the feedback and you’re always welcome to try it later if the direction or branding clicks more with you.

I'm in hosting business for more than 15 years. So I know very well that WHM stands for Web Host Manager.
I just don't like it as it's very similar sounds just like WHMCS.
As I said before neither I have any kind of hate towards WHMC nor with your software.
Even from the screenshot you posted I am really impressed as it looks very promising.
However as I said it's my parsonal thinking that I don't like the WHM in your branding..
What is the compatibility level of WHMDC with existing integrations/addons for WHMCS in the marketplace? Is there any?
If it existed you could leverage what is possibly the best current asset of WHMCS...
WHMDC isn’t built on WHMCS code, so existing WHMCS modules aren’t directly compatible. The architecture is completely new, modern, and far cleaner than legacy WHMCS, so forcing compatibility would actually limit what the platform can do.
With that said, WHMDC has a full modular system, server modules, registrar modules, payment gateways, automation hooks and they’re extremely straightforward to build. Most WHMCS module logic can be ported over with minimal effort because the concepts are familiar, just implemented in a more modern way.
We’re also planning a Module Developer Kit and clear documentation so providers can publish native WHMDC modules easily.
So while it won’t run WHMCS modules “as-is,” it will open the door for vendors to build cleaner, faster, more secure versions of their integrations without fighting 15-year-old legacy code.
If anything, that gives WHMDC the best of both worlds with modern architecture without being tied to the limitations of the past.

While everyone is entitled to their opinions. And we welcome them. Good and bad. That will help us build what users and businesses actually want, rather than taking the easy route of building something and fixing bugs over the years and relying on external development that costs the end user more.
Why not implement these into the core? If your business has no need for that, switch it off then switch on only what you need. And best of all not having multiple subscriptions all over the place.
I have no doubt people who vibe code have come up with some amazing things. (We use Ai it to assist with bug errors that would somewhat take hours rather than minutes).
If you love or hate Ai it’s here stay. When you have Google’s Ai building itself who knows where it will lead. Better or worse!?
Anyhow, I hope you do try the pre-phase 1 demo (it’s more of a sneak peak to give you the idea).
Try having an open mind that something new, may be for you?

The domain was only registered a day before this thread too.. would be interested to see some code/actual usage once it's released to see how it actually performs. Just seems a bit sudden - who/what company is behind this?

Hello, yes the domain was registered recently that is simply due to our timeline. It was time to register the domain name, we had a couple in mind and at the time that was the best voted name so we ran with it. Trying to be as transparent as possible with everyone. In terms of testing, you are welcome to see our early release here https://whmdc.com/

Thanks for your comment, while we know it wont be for everyone and that is fine but nevertheless, over 50 companies are interested and registered for launch may find our software more fitting to their liking and will without a doubt save money with us.
Out of interest, what didn't we answer or was there something you wanted clarification on - Please let us know.

"Looks pretty good, how's the pricing?" was answered with a link to an empty news page
"Who are you exactly?" was answered with a vague "full WHMDC About / Team page is being prepared", followed up later by " full company overview will be published before public release"
You keep saying you want to be "as transparent as possible with everyone", but you're desperately farming interest in a product from a company that keeps it's identity secret (if you are a UK company, as you sort-of imply, you should have a company number) and an evasive pricing structure.
I mean it might all be perfectly fine, but it raises some very unnecessary red flags.

Thankyou for your kind feedback. Let us know if there is something you would like to see that is missing from your core features features.whmdc.com
Keep in mind that self-hosted != free. At least more competition on billing software now.
If you’re interested, join the launch list to get early access - spaces will be limited.
Looks pretty nice, looking forward to the pricing structure to get a better idea long term
