Meet Billmora: A modern, open-source alternative to WHMCS & Blesta

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

I've been in the hosting/billing space for a while, and let's be honest: tools like WHMCS or Blesta are the industry standard for a reason. They work. But as a developer, I always felt limited by the IonCube encoding and closed-source nature. Trying to debug or build deep integrations into a "black box" is just frustrating.

I wanted a platform that's fully transparent and actually enjoyable to extend. So, I started building Billmora (https://billmora.com).

We just hit v0.7.0 yesterday. It's evolved from a simple billing script into a more complete automation platform. Here's what it can do right now:

  • Domain Management: TLD pricing, registrar integrations, and automated renewals.
  • Provisioning: Native support for Pterodactyl, DirectAdmin, etc.
  • Billing: Session-based cart, multi-item checkout, and tax calculations.
  • Customization: A theme engine that doesn't make you want to quit web dev.
  • Payments: Event-driven architecture for webhooks (PayPal, etc.).
  • Multi-Currency: Support global operations with multi-currency pricing.

Since it's built on Laravel 12 and PHP 8.3, if you know the framework, you already know how to build for Billmora.

It's still a work in progress, but if you're looking for a modern, open alternative for your agency or hosting project, I'd love for you to check it out.

Would appreciate any feedback (or even a bug report) :3
