MHM Theme — Run a Full Hosting Business on WordPress. No WHMCS Needed.
The only WordPress theme that replaces WHMCS — fully, not partially.
Stop paying WHMCS $24.95–$99.95/month. MHM Theme gives you everything WHMCS offers — client portal, billing automation, support tickets, domain management, server provisioning, and reseller tools — as a self-hosted WordPress theme you buy once.
If you already have WordPress hosting, you already have everything you need to run MHM Theme.
