    Billing and ticket panel options? WHMCS, HostBill, Blesta and ClientExec... what else?

    I've tried HostBill, WHMCS, ClientExec & Blesta but not with SolusVM though, only cPanel integration. All work as advertised. Also, I came across WHSuite somewhere and the beta look decent. Worth a bookmark I think.

    Trend Projection
