About WHMCS

WHMCS is the billing and automation platform many web hosts and agencies run their business on. It takes orders, raises invoices, collects payments, provisions and suspends accounts through server modules, and handles support tickets and the client area, all from one admin.

A database is created for it automatically.

WHMCS documentation

Why people choose WHMCS

Hosting is a recurring business, and the work is in the renewals: invoices on time, unpaid services suspended, paid ones restored, domains renewed. WHMCS does that by itself every few minutes, so a small team can run thousands of clients. Running it on your own hosting keeps your client and payment records on an account you control.

What our hosting does for WHMCS

  • The five-minute automation task is already scheduled and the crons folder sits outside the web root, so invoicing, suspensions and domain syncs run on time from the first day.
  • The installer folder is removed straight after install and the admin area is moved off the default /admin/ address, which is the setup WHMCS's own security guidance asks for.
  • PHP 8.2 to 8.4 with the ionCube Loader WHMCS needs is ready, and the newest stable WHMCS is installed with the licence key you enter when you create the site.

Tuned for the app, not generic hosting

A server set up for WHMCS from the first request

WHMCS is installed on a server profile made for WHMCS: the PHP version, memory, extensions, compiled-code cache and scheduled tasks it needs are applied when your site is built — not one generic setup shared by every app.

PHP version
PHP 8.4
Memory per request
256 MB, rising with your plan up to 2048 MB
Largest upload
Up to 128 MB
Compiled-code cache
192 MB, 20000 files
PHP extensions
17 switched on, including gmp, ioncube_loader for WHMCS
Scheduled tasks
Every 5 minutes
PHP hardening
Risky PHP functions locked down, with only what WHMCS needs allowed
Browser caching
Scripts, styles and fonts for a year; images for 30 days
The dashboard's Software tab for one site: PHP version 8.4 selected and marked supported, and the PHP limits card showing memory_limit set to 512M with the plan allowing up to 2G.

Backed up and protected every day

The same care runs under every WHMCS site, with nothing to switch on.

  • Daily backups, kept 30 days
  • A malware scan every day, with one-click rescans from your dashboard
  • A website firewall: your own rules on top of platform protection that cannot be switched off
  • Security headers on every response: HTTPS-only (HSTS), no MIME sniffing, no framing by other sites
The dashboard's Security tab for one site: the malware scan marked Clean with today's scan date and a Scan now button, and the Website firewall card noting platform protection always runs underneath.

  • Try it firstEvery managed plan starts with a free trial of 14 days, so you can put a real site on it before you pay for anything.
  • 30-day money-back guaranteeIf a managed plan is not right for you, tell us within 30 days of your first payment and we refund it. Application hosting is covered. Read the refund policy
  • Real support, includedSupport is included on every plan, from people who run this platform rather than a script. Accounts that cannot wait can go to the front of the queue. How priority support works

What you pay when the first term ends

Cheap hosting is usually cheap once. The industry sells a low first term paid years in advance and then renews at several times the price you signed up at. We do not do that, and here is the arithmetic beside three hosts that do.

HostWhat you pay up front for the advertised priceWhat the price does on renewal
Zinn Digital®Nothing — pay monthly, or pay for a year up front and save. Every plan shows both prices before you buy.Nothing. The price you see is the price you renew at
SiteGround12 months, in advanceMultiplies by 5.3
Hostinger48 months, in advanceMultiplies by 3.6
Bluehost36 months, in advanceMultiplies by 2.5

Read from each host's own pricing page on 2026-09-08. Their prices are theirs and they change; the multiple is the renewal price they publish divided by the price they advertise beside it.

Questions people ask before they buy

How do I install WHMCS?

From the applications section of your dashboard. Choose WHMCS, pick the domain, and the install runs — including the database, if it needs one.

Which version do you install?

The current release from the platform's application catalogue. You can update it yourself afterwards like any other install.

Can I run other applications alongside it?

Yes. Each Linux plan's website comes with subdomains, and Linux Pro has no cap on databases or subdomains, so you can run WHMCS beside other applications from this list — or add a plan for each further website.

Do I get SSH and database access?

Yes — SSH, SFTP, phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL are all included, so you are never locked out of your own install.

Where will it be hosted?

That depends on the plan you choose.

Can you migrate an existing WHMCS site?

Yes. On any paid plan, AI Move does it for you free: our AI moves it, overseen by our migration team, and tests it before the switch-over.

Is the server tuned for WHMCS?

Yes. When your WHMCS site is built, the server applies a profile made for WHMCS: PHP 8.4, 256 MB of memory per request rising with your plan, a 192 MB compiled-code cache and 17 PHP extensions, plus security headers and long browser caching for its files. Daily backups kept 30 days, a daily malware scan and a website firewall run underneath.
