Reselling on Media Temple - anyone with experience?

    Hi All,

    I'm looking at the dedicated virtual server on Media Temple. The problem is billing. They don't offer a mechanism to bill clients that is integrated into the site that they support. How do resellers on Media Temple bill their clients?

    I've used ClientExec in the past to bill, but I'd really like to find an all-in-one solution. Even if its just billing by PayPal.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    I don't understand?

    You are looking for a reseller that comes with a billing panel?

    Yes. I want to be able to, from my reseller panel, not only add new accounts but add the cost and manage billing as well. That way everyone has a single account username/password instead of having them log into cpanel to manage their domains and then clientexec for knowledge base/billing, and then another program to look at the server statistics/cpu utilization.

    The only system I know that is like that is HSphere and I don't think it's that way for the resellers just the company managing the servers.

    Like InFlow said, I don't think there is a system that meets your requirements. I have never used HSphere so I don't know.

    But sounds to me, you would need to go seperate.

    WHM/cPanel = built to manage your server, domains, and website.
    ClientExec, WHMCS, WHMAP = built to manage your hosting account, bills, payments.

    That would have been the follow up question. So currently the best way for resellers to manage their billing is for something like ClientExec/Cpanel/WHM ?

    Yes and No.

    cPanel and WHM are not for handling your billing.

    Clientexec is for controlling billing.
