One of the benefits of hosting with Techsys Ltd's Shared, reseller or dedicated Linux servers is that customers are able to receive a free license for WHMCS (Web Host Manager Complete Solution).
WHMCS provides you with complete client management, billing & support. You can utilize WHMCS to manage your web hosting business and any related businesses you may have, such as web design or consulting.
At Techsys, WHMCS is included with all Reseller Packages and Linux Dedicated Servers. Clients with Shared Linux Hosting can request for our Free WHMCS license if their anual expenditure with us for all services exceeds $150. Simply ask Techsys Support staff to enable WHMCS for you free of charge.
Although VPS Hosting does not qualify for a free WHMCS license, VPS customers can obtain a WHMCS license from Techsys Ltd at a discounted rate of $10 per month.
Techsys Free WHMCS License Details
The license for WHMCS is free for reseller & Linux dedicated server customers ($10 per month for VPS customers) for as long as you are a Techsys customer, and you will have the options to include addons from the makers of WHMCS to your order such as a WHMCS Android or iPhone app. While these are optional, you may find them valuable. (These addons are purchased directly from WHMCS, and not Techsys Ltd, so please contact WHMCS for any addons you wish to acquire.)
Should you choose to change hosting providers and wish to continue use of your WHMCS installation hosted on another provider, a license would need to be purchased directly from WHMCS as the Techsys provided license would no longer be valid.
Also, there is a limit of one (1) free or discounted WHMCS license per customer. Additional licenses need to be purchased directly from WHMCS.
Troubles hooting
Sometimes you may receive an error message saying that the IP of your domain does not appear to be part of the Techsys network, even though you have already changed the DNS. If this should occur, please contact Techsys support so we can expedite having that particular IP listed in WHMCS's system.
Note: Since this free license is only available to Techsys customers while they are an active customer (as per the license details above), WHMCS must be installed on a Techsys server (Techsys IP). If you want to install WHMCS on a server not controlled by Techsys, then you must purchase a license directly from WHMCS.
To obtain you copy of WHMCS, simply request it using the Contact Us.
Prerequisite
- In order to have the WHMCS request accepted, your domain must already be pointed to your reseller account, VPS or dedicated server. For shared hosting, your domain must be pointed to ns1.techsysug.com and ns2.techsysug.com respectively.
If you have not updated the DNS to point the domain to your Techsys reseller account, VPS or dedicated server (either by changing the name servers or by creating an A record), then the request will be rejected.
If you have recently changed your nameservers, it may take up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate worldwide, although it often takes less time.

Additional addons are available directly from WHMCS Ltd. and will be offered to you when you request your free license. These are optional and are not needed for WHMCS to work, however, you may find many of them useful.
