That sounds like a very cheap price for a billing system.

Would the billing be automated?

How would you integrate the system into anyones hosting system to turn off overdue accounts or bill automatically when due?

It seems to me that one of the big issues with hosting is the time to bill accounts. I started hosting years ago and gave up because i could not manage the accounts. Collecting $10 from 100 different people was just too much to keep track of for the few dollars in proffit on each.

Now I am totally automated. So each client is responsible for keeping their account paid. The only manually work is with people that mail paper checks and we have to credit them.

If you can truely bring automation to a hosting system, you will have a powerful and sucessful product.

I am sure these smaler hosts have the same problems when they get 50+ accounts and people just do not pay. It is not worth the time to chase them down for monthly payments.
