This time with HostBill release we’ve added a bunch of new features, including Auto PTR for IPAM and new option for adding resource usage to metered billed products.
IPAM: Auto-PTR feature
IP Address Manager module is aimed especially for data center/colocation companies as it is designed to organize and track unlimited number of IP addresses in your organization/company/department. The module lets you sell and manage IP addresses with automated reverse DNS management, IPv6/IPv4 support, RWhois server, VLAN management and IP provisioning.
IPAM module can work with ClouDNS, PowerDNS or cPanelDNS modules, allowing your colocation/dedicated customers to manage their PTR records directly from client area. In Reverse DNS tab in IPAM we’ve now added a couple of new features for PTR management.
You can now define Default PTR template, using variables: {ip} – the IP address you use and {rip} – reversed octets IP address.
You also have the option to Set default PTR record on IP unassign. When enabled, the module will set in DNS and the database the PTR generated from the template for the given IP address. It will also disable “Auto-clear related PTR record on IP unassign” feature.
We’ve also added a new Auto-set default PTR widget, which can be used to automatically set default PTR record for all unused/unassigned IP addresses. Once enabled, the widget will use the background queue to gather all unassigned IPs with no rDNS set and will set the default PTR for each address. You will see the progress bar to check the advancement of the process.

Metered Billing: add usage from admin UI
Metered Billing is one of the billing models available in HostBill, where the fee is based on resource usage over time. We’ve recently introduced a DIY Metered Billing feature, enabling to use this pricing model for any product or service, regardless of the provisioning module used, and add resource usage values using API. Now we’ve added the option to enter resource usage manually by admins in the admin area. In the metered billing account details you can now press the green “Add usage button” and enter the current resource usage for all variables that the given product/service offers!
