I dont understand. What is your question exactly?

I think he[?] is asking why he can't get a manual bill each month and pay that bill instead of the automatic subscription.

The subscription ensures the bill is sent to you each month properly and can be cancelled at any time so I don't see why you would prefer a manual bill each month. What would be the benefit exactly?

We do not have the best billing system in the world, but let me explain.

We use subscriptions or auto billing. If we have every client setup on recurring/subscription then we do not need to send invoices to each client. This way hosting is paid for and we do not need to worry about suspending accounts if someone "forgot" to pay.

With that in mind, we are in the works of upgrading. We actually had a few staff go out to some workships on some billing software. We plan to have everything automated including manual payment and invoicing. It will take care of the suspending as needed, etc.

I hope you can understand, as 20,000+ clients are hard to keep track of for invoicing :X

I'm with Jamie...what is wrong with subscriptions that you'd rather do it manually

subscriptions require either a bank account or credit card added to the account

i signed up with subscription.....its now been almost 4 hours and the account is not active as of yet.....still "Pending"....how long does the setup usually take?

It can take up to 24 hours before account passes fraud review and is setup. This is just simple procedure to weed out all the fraud orders.

Yes, blame the fraudsters and spammers for that. They help make our lives better, as you can see.
