## What it is
FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management application for hosting providers and digital service businesses, built in PHP on a LAMP/LEMP stack. It automates invoicing, payments, hosting account provisioning, domain management, and support ticketing, with an extensible module architecture.

## Use cases
- automate invoicing and payment reminders for my hosting business
- self-hosted billing and client management for a web hosting company
- automatically provision cPanel or Plesk accounts when clients order
- manage domain registrations and transfers with multiple registrars
- run a subscription or digital download business with multi-currency support
- built-in helpdesk and support ticketing for clients
- accept payments via PayPal, Stripe, or Mollie on my own server

## When to choose
- you run a hosting or digital services business and want a free, self-hosted alternative to WHMCS
- you need automated provisioning, invoicing, and domain management in one platform
- you want full control over your data and an auditable, extension-friendly codebase

## When to avoid
- you need a fully polished, production-hardened product — the project is still pre-1.0 beta with rough edges
- you need guaranteed enterprise-grade support or SLAs
- you require advanced subscription features or payment adapters still marked in-development
