Feature Highlights
Server Groups – designed for web hosts who want to designate specific packages going to specific servers, groups now allow you to define that for example hosting plan A can be installed on servers 1, 2 & 3, whilst hosting plan B can be installed on servers 3, 4 & 5 with options to assign new accounts until the default server is full or in a round-robin fashion to the least used server.
Disk Space & Bandwidth Overage Billing – initially supported for cPanel, DirectAdmin & Plesk, you can now specify soft limits for disk and bandwidth with the packages you sell and WHMCS will then bill users for any amount used in excess of that. Usage stats are imported from the control panels API and charges are calculated on the last day of each month with the option to be invoiced immediately or added to the users next invoice.
Configurable Options – now have the ability to hide options and sub-options from the client area order form while leaving them enabled for legacy use on existing clients accounts. Also added is the ability to set a minimum required quantity and maximum allowed value for quantity based option types.
Client Files – you can now upload individual files to users’ accounts, with the ability for them to be admin only or accessible to the client also. Files the client is allowed to see are then shown in the client area for them to download. This can be used for things like contracts, signed agreements, and anything else you need to store!
Additional Mass Mail Filter Options – the mass mail filter options have been extended to include client groups, language and custom fields. The custom field filters mean you can now easily create a “Subscribe to Newsletter” and/or “Subscribe to Notifications” checkbox in order to send mailings only to those users who have agreed to them. And the ability to select multiple criteria at a time allow for more fine tuned emailing to a wider range of clients in one go.
Custom Field Descriptions – now you can add a description to your custom fields in order to advise the user on how or what should be entered into the field.
Bulk Pricing Update Utility – this is a new addon utility which allows you to make mass updates to existing clients products, services, addons and/or domains pricing for their next invoices.
Addon Auto Activation & Welcome Emails – now have the ability to set welcome emails for addons which can be automatically sent on payment and a hook point for activation which allows you to add your own code for provisioning
Additional API Functions – Lots of new API calls have been added providing data retrieval methods for remote apps and there is now a choice of 2 response types, name/value pairs as previously and XML.
