Features
Everything you need to run a hosting business
One place for your store, billing, automation and support. Built for small and growing hosting companies, and easy for your customers to use.
Coupons and add-ons
Percent or fixed coupons with limits and share links. Sell add-ons like backups or a dedicated IP, billed and renewed with each service.
Domains
Customers search, register and transfer domains. Nuvabill renews them at ResellerClub, Namecheap, Enom or OpenSRS and sends expiry reminders.
VPS inside the client area
Virtualizor and Proxmox servers: customers start, stop and restart, see live usage and IPs, reinstall the OS and reset the root password without leaving your site.
Import from WHMCS
Move clients with their passwords, products, services, domains, invoices and tickets in one step. Run it again before you switch; it never makes copies.
Sign in with Google, GitHub or Facebook
Customers create an account or sign in with one click. They can connect or remove these accounts from their profile.
Invoices and PDFs
Numbered invoices with PDF download, payment history and reminder emails when a payment is late.
Stripe, PayPal, FIB, FastPay and Wayl
Take card and PayPal payments, and Iraqi payments with FIB (with a QR code), FastPay and Wayl. Show prices in dollars and charge in dinar at the rate you set. Every payment is recorded once.
cPanel, DirectAdmin and Plesk
When an invoice is paid, the hosting account is created on your server. Unpaid services are suspended and unsuspended for you. Clients open their panel with one click.
Renewals on autopilot
A daily job creates renewal invoices, sends reminders and suspends or ends overdue services, based on rules you set.
Support tickets
Departments, priorities and email alerts. Customers see every reply in one thread. You can change the words of every email from the admin area.
Mobile-first client area
Services, invoices and tickets work well on any phone, in light or dark mode. The admin area works on mobile too.
Two-factor, CAPTCHA and fraud checks
Two-factor sign-in for staff and clients (app or email code), Cloudflare Turnstile or reCAPTCHA on your forms, fraud checks on new orders, and staff roles.
Signed, automatic updates
Every release is signed. Nuvabill checks the signature, makes a backup, then installs the update, and can roll back if something fails.
Marketplace
Install themes, order forms and extensions in one click from your admin area. Every package is reviewed and signed. See the marketplace.
Easy to install
Upload, open the web installer and answer a few questions. Runs on shared cPanel hosting with one cron job. MySQL or SQLite.

WHMCS alternative
Looking for a WHMCS alternative?
WHMCS is mature and has a very large module library. Nuvabill is new, but it is free, fully open source and built on a modern stack. If you want readable code, no license fees and a clean mobile interface, Nuvabill is worth a try.
FAQ
Questions and answers
Is Nuvabill really free?
Yes. Nuvabill is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. You can use it for your hosting business with unlimited clients and no monthly fee. The free edition shows a small "Powered by Nuvabill" link.
What do I need to run Nuvabill?
A server or hosting account with PHP 8.3 or newer, the usual PHP extensions, a MySQL, MariaDB or SQLite database and one cron job. It runs on normal cPanel shared hosting. See the install guide.
Can I move from WHMCS to Nuvabill?
Yes. In Settings, Import copies your clients (they keep their passwords), products and prices, services, domains, invoices, payments and support tickets straight from your WHMCS database. WHMCS is only read, and you can run the import again just before you switch without making copies.
Is Nuvabill ready for production?
Nuvabill 0.3 is an early release. The billing flow, domains, control panels, payment gateways and marketplace are complete and tested, but test it with your own products, gateways and servers before you move real customers.
Can I remove the "Powered by Nuvabill" link?
The link is part of the free license. A paid white-label license that removes it is coming. Star the GitHub project to hear when it is ready.
Who makes Nuvabill?
Nuvabill is made by RapidNet Ltd, a hosting company that built the billing system it wanted to use. You can support the work through GitHub Sponsors.
