We are currently in the brainstorming stage of offering free WHMCS software to certain reseller packages of USHost247. Would offering free WHMCS (a $15.95+ value /month) :great: make you look more into our reseller plans? Would this urge you to consider our hosting over another company that did not offer WHMCS for free?
In order for this to happen, I will have to take up another monthly bill of $68+. So we would like to get more resellers that are interested due to free WHMCS.
I am currently brainstorming on offering free whmcs to the following plans:
Reseller Medium
Reseller Unlimited
Master Reseller Small
Master Reseller Medium
Master Reseller Unlimited
I think you could definitely attract some attention, even if you create posts on sites like WebHostingTalk, that advertise this. I've heard a little bit about the WHMCS reseller plan, and it seems pretty straight-forward. In my opinion, you should offer 1 or 2 smaller plans without this, and that are affordable for people who are just getting started. Then, you can reel them in and simply change their package to suit their needs without any kind of server migration. It would be an added bonus when they outgrow their previous plan, and the attractiveness of WHMCS would possibly increase their sales, increasing your revenue. That's how I look at it. 🙂
I think it would definitely be a great idea, though, and it may be a great investment. Just be sure to keep up on the license requests, and it should definitely pay for itself!
Plus, WHMCS offers a money back for single licenses, so you may be able to ask them if it applies to leased license plans as well. If they say no, try to sweet talk them into a money back, or possibly negotiate with them. They are a huge company, and I am almost certain that you could work something out between them and USHost247. 🙂
Good luck, and I'd like to see everyone else's input on this, as it seems like a potentially great idea! :great:
Thanks Collin for your input on this. I purposely left out the Reseller small since it is a cheaper plan and is mostly for those just starting out in the hosting business. I may leave out the basic master reseller plan too, in order to urge clients to a higher package.
