WHMDC Is Almost Here - A Modern Billing Platform Built for Hosts
WHMDC
Services Provider
WHMDC is nearly here and pre-launch testing is live!
We’re close. After a huge amount of building, refining, and real-world testing, WHMDC is now in its final stretch before launch.
If you run a hosting business (or you’re building one) and you’d like to install WHMDC in your environment to test it properly - we want you involved. Get in touch and we’ll issue a testing licence so you can run WHMDC on your own stack and tell us what needs polishing before launch.
What is WHMDC?
WHMDC is a next-generation billing and automation platform built specifically for hosting providers - designed to cover the day-to-day operations of a modern web host without the mess of bolted-on add-ons, paid extras, or fragile third-party patches.
It’s self-hosted, written in modern PHP, and built to be fast, clean, and predictable - with the features hosting companies actually use, baked into the core.
Everything you need is baked in (no premium “must-have” modules)
One of the biggest pain points in this industry is the “module hunt” - where the core platform gets you 60% of the way there, then you spend months stitching together paid add-ons to fill the gaps.
WHMDC takes a different approach: core-first. The essential stuff is included from day one, and every plan is built around unlimited usage (clients, invoices, services - the lot).
- Billing & invoicing with pro-rata, renewal invoices, payment reminders, late fees, credits, and multi-currency support.
- Payments with built-in gateways and a modern checkout experience.
- Domain management with registrar integrations and full lifecycle handling.
- Support system with departments, priorities, file attachments, knowledge base, reporting, and status pages.
- Client portal designed for real self-service: invoices, payments, tickets, domains, services, and account management in one place.
- Hosting automation with control panel integrations and provisioning workflows.
- Security that’s built for 2026 - not 2012.
Built-in integrations that hosting businesses actually need
WHMDC includes native integrations across the areas that matter most, without forcing you into a marketplace just to make your billing platform usable.
Payments
Accept payments how your customers want to pay - cards, wallets, direct debit, and more - with modern payment gateways ready to go.
Domains
Search, register, renew, transfer, and manage domains through registrar integrations and proper lifecycle automation.
Fraud & security
Modern protection is not optional. WHMDC includes native support for fraud scoring and multiple CAPTCHA providers - plus passwordless login via passkeys.
Provisioning & control panels
Automate provisioning and management using common control panels and server platforms, with single sign-on options to reduce support load and friction.
Comms: Slack, live chat, and SMS
Route events where your team actually works - support ticket alerts, payment notifications, and key system events - plus SMS messaging for OTP, reminders, and notifications with a large provider selection.
Send transactional mail, invoices, and notifications using built-in support for Microsoft 365, Gmail, and standard SMTP.
Why WHMDC over WHMCS or Blesta?
Let’s be fair: WHMCS and Blesta have been around for years - and they’ve powered a lot of hosting companies. But the market has changed, and expectations have changed.
WHMDC is built as a modern alternative, and focuses heavily on:
- Modern authentication (including passwordless login with passkeys).
- Security controls that are practical for hosting ops (including stronger access controls and bot protection options).
- A core feature set designed to reduce module sprawl - so you spend less time stitching and more time running your business.
- Self-hosted control: your server, your rules, your data.
- Clear, simple plans with unlimited usage and everything included.
We’re not here to throw shade - we’re here to give hosts a platform that feels like it was built by people who actually run hosting businesses.
Want to test WHMDC in your environment? We’ll issue a testing licence
If you want to install WHMDC on your own server and give proper feedback (installation, automation flows, client portal UX, billing edge cases, etc.), we’d love to get you set up.
What we’re looking for from testers:
- Install WHMDC in a staging environment (not production).
- Run through the real flows: checkout, invoice generation, payment capture, service provisioning, ticket lifecycle.
- Try your own configurations: currency, taxes, payment methods, email delivery, security settings.
- Report bugs or friction points - the small stuff matters.
To get access: create your account, then message us to request a testing licence. Once activated, you’ll be able to access downloads and start testing.
Help us ship this properly
WHMDC is built with a simple goal: give hosting providers a platform that’s powerful, modern, and actually pleasant to run - without hidden “gotchas”, feature gates, or endless add-ons.
If you want to be part of the final push, get in touch and we’ll sort you a testing licence.

More options in the market and competition is good.
My only 2 cents after a quick look. I hate this:

@WHMDC
I like what i see here.
You actually got me here: Modern authentication (including passwordless login with passkeys). + SQL Injection Prevention
I think I will put this to a test dive.
I have some questions:
VAT rules for EU - did you treat this? - fine if not, I can give you a basic layout logic that works for Eu countries, it is extremely simple in my view. ( tho, you would need to validate a EU LLC registration number, best is via VIES, but more on this if you need the help )
VPS provisioning, this will be hardest part, I know, too many options out there, any thoughts on this? Do you have something in mind to partner with?
Otherwise , the UI looks eye-candy for me ( coming from WHCMS )

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
Hey!
Thanks, appreciate that.
Yes, passkey support is already built in alongside traditional auth. The aim there was to make modern, passwordless login a first-class option rather than something bolted on later. On the backend side, SQL injection prevention is treated as a baseline requirement, prepared statements, strict input handling, and defensive query patterns are enforced throughout the core rather than left to individual modules.
On EU VAT, WHMDC already has a fairly complete tax engine in place. VIES is already implemented and you can configure unlimited tax rules, control exactly which items are taxed (services, domains, billable items, late fees, custom invoices), and choose how tax is calculated (per line item or collective), including support for inclusive/exclusive tax and compound tax where needed.
VAT mode can be enabled globally, VAT numbers can be collected and stored, clients can be automatically set as tax-exempt on successful validation, and invoice output handles VAT labelling and breakdowns correctly. There’s also UK VAT validation support already in place.
I’ve also put together a short video showing the current Tax/VAT configuration in WHMDC if you want a quick look - https://streamable.com/hvoxnr
On VPS provisioning:
You’re absolutely right that this is one of the harder areas due to fragmentation. Rather than trying to reinvent that layer, we’ve focused on solid core integrations with platforms that already cover a large part of the VPS space. At the moment, WHMDC has native integrations with SolusVM, VirtFusion, Virtualizor, and Vultr.
And thanks for the UI feedback especially coming from WHMCS users, that’s encouraging.
If you do take it for a proper test dive and something feels off or incomplete in real use, that kind of feedback is far more useful to us than praise.

OK, now there is one missing, and yes, it is our case.
ModulesGarden - Proxmox VE VPS & Cloud
Any chance you will open up a collaboration with them? - I can also ping them if you wish, if that helps.
I am fine for changing a billing panel ( do boy I am fed up with WHMCS ) but I cannot change the provisioning also at the same time.
I do not wish to take this tread to a Virtualizor vs VirtFusion vs whatever alse, that is not the point of what I ask. I am just asking if there is a way in the near future? as in our case, we will not migrate off MG for the time being. ( I will keep the why to myself )

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
the name is off-putting to me, i think its been mentioned before though
That’s completely fair and we get that provisioning is not something anyone wants to change lightly.
Good news on that front, we now have native Proxmox VE core support in WHMDC. It’s built directly against the Proxmox API rather than relying on a third-party abstraction layer, so provisioning, lifecycle actions, and management are handled cleanly within the platform.
I fully understand not wanting to migrate billing and provisioning at the same time, that’s a sensible approach. The aim with our Proxmox integration is to make that transition possible without forcing a change in infrastructure stack.
Regarding ModulesGarden specifically, we're absolutely open to collaboration if it makes sense. If they’re willing to explore interoperability or shared support, I’d be happy to have that conversation. An introduction certainly wouldn’t hurt.
No pressure either way, if you’re open to it, a test dive with Proxmox in WHMDC might give you a clearer picture of what the migration path could look like without touching production.
If you would like to give it a go, head over to the link that has been sent to your DM for a license.

Hmmmmmmmm.....................
Let me see in a few days, can it actually provision a second drive and increase the capacity after words?

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
coding this by hand is a pita with blesta currently. it would be amazing if this does it
You are welcome to give it a test drive
WHMDC - Web Hosting Billing Software That Automates Your Business - www.WHMDC.com
Yes. The our Proxmox module supports both.
It can provision a second (or additional) drive using the add_disk action. For KVM it uses the next available SCSI slot (scsi1, scsi2, etc.), and for LXC it uses the next free mount point (mp0, mp1, etc.). The disk is created from the configured storage pool (default is local-lvm) with a configurable size (default 10 GB).
It can also increase disk capacity later using the resize_disk action via the Proxmox API. This works for both KVM and LXC and supports Proxmox size formats like +10G to extend the disk or 50G to set a fixed size.
In the client area, there’s currently no dedicated Disks or Additional Disks section. While add_disk and resize_disk are fully supported in the backend and can be triggered via the API or by admins, customers can’t manage disks themselves unless we develop this further and a disks UI is added.
So yes, it can provision a second drive and increase its capacity afterwards, it's just that at present the client-side UI needs adding. If demand for this grows, we will of course add it.
