The Problem

WHMCS is expensive and complex

You just want to sell hosting. You don't want to spend $25/month before you've made a single sale.

  • WHMCS costs $15–25/month or $499 owned licence
  • Requires cPanel/WHM licence — extra monthly cost on top
  • Complex to set up, steep learning curve
  • Locked into their platform and pricing
  • Your data sits on their servers

MHM solves all of this

  • One-time payment — no ongoing subscription
  • Runs on any WordPress install you already have
  • Works with Webmin/Virtualmin, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin — your choice
  • Full client portal — invoices, tickets, domains, SSL
  • Your own server, your own database, full control
  • Built-in affiliate program, promo codes, announcements
  • Domain registrar API (Namecheap, Enom, OpenSRS)
  • GDPR-ready, global payment methods

What Customers Say

Hosting companies running on MHM

"I was paying $25/month for WHMCS and barely using 20% of the features. MHM does everything I need for a one-time fee. Setup was less than 10 minutes."

AK
Alex K.
Web Hosting Reseller

"Running on Webmin/Virtualmin so WHMCS was never really an option for us. MHM integrates natively. My clients love the portal and the ticket system is clean."

SR
Samuel R.
VPS Provider

"The affiliate program alone made this worth it. My resellers now bring in 30% of new signups through their affiliate links. The commission tracking is automatic."
