That and many is included but I am not talking about a particular one.
The man mostly likely is in trouble and it is not limited to his business.

Like I said, KBKP has pissed off a lot of people. Not good Karma, to say the least.

After OnApp releases their own new module for WHMCS, we'll be leaving Hostbill. I think we are about 3-5 months out still.  :'(

It's quite annoying not being able to get updates/features for modules you already have. Instead, HB focuses on releasing new modules instead of improving the ones they have. They will only improve the ones you have if you pay the minimum $1,000 dev charge.

What else we are noticing, it's hard to find any developer who is familiar with how to make modules for HB. HB makes it difficult for 3rd party developers to make anything for it (lack of docs, integration, etc).

HB is slowly killing us, and about ready to make a paper chain just to count down the days.....

Third party developers should still be able to legally write extensions for HostBill and distribute as they want. HostBill also can't restrict people from using third party software, that's illegal. I know HostBill doesn't want to put out docs, but yeah...

This spiritual warfare thing sounds hilarious, and I for one want to hear all about it. I'm in no way concerned about what religious/spiritual whackadoos are doing, but if something is having an effect on someone who's running a business I have a contract with, I'd like to know what kind of nonsense is swirling around. Bring things to light and you take away their mystique, so speak up about this hilarious-sounding eastern european spiritual warfare group. all i could find online were funny pictures of some sort of christian-looking musical festival thingy. no offense to anyone's religious views, but c'mon, mumbo jumbo is mumbo jumbo, so speak up!

Hey Paul, I'll PM you.  It doesn't belong in this forum, and I don't want anyone to think I'm associated with them.

My bussiness depends on this "hostbill" lock in crap,  I bought the software when it was 200 unbranded.  I have 10 clients and now I found out that no module can be developed because it is locked and that my license will revert to a basic update since this lunatic wants my money.

To make matters worse, he think a ticket is worth USD75, just a support ticket,  this is unveliable since that ammount is almost the total of a new software.  Blesta cost USD99 now, complete with no lock-ins.

If this guys is under spiritual attacks, I WANT TO KNOW,  my bussiness depends on this software, hence this lunatic in charge.

I studied all this topics before, I started studing astral travel and this stuff since 10,  I grew up reading this topics, if anyone can send me a PM with details about this I would be most glad.

I am seriously considering switching over to blesta,  please, need advice, thank you.

The OnApp modules for WHMCS do and have always worked just fine. They aren't quite as fancy as the HB offerings, but they are coming along quickly and you are welcome to develop on your own unlike Hostbill. The immaturity of this man's business is what will finally do them in. People bought the dedicated server modules and quite a few others that were supposed to include upgrades, instead of upgrading he created new products that do the same thing and more but were 5x the price. No updates for the original products, upgrade or don't use it. His entire model is like that and is why people have flocked to anything other than HB.

I thought the Black Hand went out of fashion back in the Gavrillo Princip days. Hm... Do you know if they have a PayPal donate button?
