and in most cases when these investment companies buy out company in administration etc. they will be made up of top brass for the company that they placed in administration in the first place. we never ever know who are behind these so called companies.
 
I’ve been using WHMCS for years too, mostly out of habit. But I agree — the price increases and account limits are becoming a real downside.

I recently started testing Clientexec and was actually surprised. It covers most of the core features I need, and the lower cost is definitely a plus. The UI isn’t as refined as WHMCS, but it’s solid.

Might not be for everyone, but if you're looking to cut costs and don’t rely on a lot of custom modules, it’s worth a look.
 
We switched to hostbill. It's really nice to still have that human touch when you actually have a problem with the suite. We reported a couple issues to them and they were actually patched out in the next week.

We've seen issues reported to WHMCS not fixed to this day...
 
It depends what you need my friend, but I prefer WHMCS. It has bigger community, more modules, and better intergration with registrars and payment gateways. You can find support or addons for almost anything.

Clientexec is good too, more simple and cheaper, also faster to run. But it does not have same level of automation or plugings like WHMCS.

Im still learning about hosting and web development, but I tried both. For me WHMCS feels more complete, it has more features and integration, but also more complex to set up.
