FOSSBilling
Open-source hosting billing and automation with WHM, cPanel, and HestiaCP support
Overview
FOSSBilling is a PHP-based hosting billing and automation platform that integrates with control panels like WHM, cPanel, CWP, and HestiaCP to automate account provisioning. It handles invoicing, recurring billing, client management, support tickets, and domain reselling. The system ships with a full REST API and a module system for extensions. Deployment is on a PHP/MySQL stack, typically manually or via Docker.
Where it falls short of QuickBooks
- Primarily designed for web hosting businesses; general-purpose billing is secondary
- No double-entry accounting or financial statements
- Payment gateway selection is narrower than commercial billing platforms
- Support ticket system is basic compared to dedicated helpdesk tools
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
