AWBS

AWBS – “Advanced Webhost Billing System”

AWBS is a commercial web host billing system, which features a wide range of modules for automated domain name registration, web host account provisioning, and automated payment tracking through payment gateways.

 

AWBS is one of a number of web host billing systems; it has been around for quite some time, and was formally known as DRAMS.

AWBS has two versions; firstly there is the AWBS Domain Edition. This edition includes all you need to start reselling and managing the domain names you sell, minus a domain reseller account. The second version of the software is the normal AWBS Edition. This includes all the features of the domain edition, but also enables the company who purchases the license to use it to take payments for web hosting, and comes with multiple control panel integration modules so you, as the web host, can automatically provision web hosting accounts.

You can find a demo of AWBS on the AWBS demo page.
