What's the difference between yearly and lifetime?

Yearly gives you 12 months of updates and support for $49/year. Lifetime gives you updates and support forever for a one-time $149. After 3 years, lifetime is cheaper.

What's covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee?

If HostKit doesn’t fit your workflow within 30 days of purchase, email support@itxhostkit.com for a no-questions-asked refund. No forms, no haggling.

Do I need WHMCS or Blesta on top of HostKit?

No. HostKit replaces WHMCS/Blesta for WordPress-based hosting businesses. Billing, invoicing, provisioning, customer portal, dunning — all built in.

What happens when my yearly license expires?

The plugin keeps working. You just stop receiving updates and support until you renew. No feature lockouts.

Is there a free version?

We provide a 30-day trial of the plugin. You will only be charged after 30 days. If you are not satisfied with the plugin, you can cancel your subscription any time.

Which control panels are supported?

WHM/cPanel is fully supported. Others are on the roadmap.

Can resellers manage their own customers?

Yes. Built-in reseller multi-tenancy with filtered views, owner labels, and a dedicated invoice portal.

How are updates delivered?

Through the standard WordPress update mechanism — signed packages delivered from our licensing server. Click “Update” inside WordPress.

Do you offer help migrating from WHMCS?

Yes — reach out to support@itxhostkit.com and we’ll help map your data over.

Which payment gateways work?

Any WooCommerce-compatible gateway — Stripe, PayPal, bank transfer, and the full WooCommerce payments ecosystem.

Is my data stored on your servers?

No. Everything — subscriptions, invoices, customer data, audit logs — lives in your WordPress database. We only deliver license validation and updates.

For hosting resellers, agencies & providers

The WordPress-native alternative to WHMCS.

ITX HostKit automates WHM/cPanel account provisioning, subscription billing, and customer portals — all from the WordPress admin you already use. No extra servers. No monthly ransom. No integration plumbing.

The gap

Stop paying monthly rent on software that lives outside your stack.

WHMCS and Blesta are powerful — and expensive, bloated, and disconnected from the WordPress site your customers already visit.

Without HostKit

With HostKit

Features

A full hosting back-office, installed as a plugin.

Nine pillars that replace the WHMCS stack — plus the glue code you'd normally write yourself.

Automated WHM/cPanel Provisioning

From signup to server, everything provisions itself. Your hosting infrastructure runs on autopilot, not manual tickets.

Billing & Invoicing

Accurate invoices, smart retries, and fair pricing — all handled automatically, in the currency your customer actually pays in.

Subscription & Plan Management

Customers upgrade, downgrade, pause, or renew on their own terms, while you stay in control with an approval layer underneath.

Domain Management

Search, register, and manage domains without ever leaving your site — powered by the registrars you already trust.

AI-Powered Support Assistant

An AI that doesn't just answer questions — it resets passwords, fixes DNS, and checks servers, then hands off to a human the moment it's needed.

Customer Self-Service Portal

One branded dashboard for hosting, billing, domains, and support — so customers stop emailing you for things they can do themselves.

Reseller & Team Management

Give every teammate exactly the access they need, and let resellers run their own book of business without touching yours.

Reporting & Insights

Real-time revenue, subscription, and support metrics — the numbers you need, without digging for them.

Performance & Reliability

Fast dashboards, cached server calls, and a cron engine that doesn't choke under load — built to stay fast as you scale.

Interface

Everything lives in the WordPress admin.

No separate app to learn. Just a new menu item next to the ones you already use.
