New Hosting site needs Billing system!

[masterlocksmith]

I have a Hosting website that has different plans for different services, I want integrated in it a billing system where users can choose the the plans using forms (radio button etc) and be asked questions in a text field and after all has been completed click submit which takes them to pay into my paypal. Basically I want a flexible billing system that can send out invoices etc.

you running this on your free x10 hosting plan?

I think you are breaking the TOS

and you are asking us for help?

WHMCS is your answer.

lhyman: It's impossible to host off your x10 account and we would find out fast.

Even if it's not hosted at x10, isn't this a dodgy thing to post on a competitor's website?

In a way yes and no. WHMCS is a great product, it was built as a hosting tool and it's expanded to more.

It can also be used by developers, as they have this great licensing add-on located here: http://whmcs.com/licensing.php. It can also be used as a standalone billing client for your website or you could write a custom module and have it do whatever you want.

I like to empower people about this, as it's an option if they want to do billing for anything they own. And if he had did a quick google search this would have pulled up in the first few results, so I just wanted to help him out.

No, I actually meant: isn't it dodgy/ is it allowed for the original poster to request help with his rival web-hosting service, in a thread here at x10?!!

He didn't link to it... So it's not against ToS.

Yes, I'm inclined to agree with you.

But it's still a bit like asking the turkey to sharpen the axe ! ;)

Firstly, I am a user on x10 that is paying for services, I actually am co-owner of a site here that is hosted on a VPS and was seeking simple information. So that assumption on your part lhyman was not necessary. Brandon thanks so much for your help.
