Blesta, for a fraction of the price.

Blesta is the billing and automation platform that runs a hosting business: clients, invoices, provisioning and support in one place. Bought direct it lists at $17.95 a month. Hosted with us it is a fraction of that, with every feature, unlimited clients and staff, and nothing held back.

  • A fraction of the direct price
  • Against $17.95 direct
  • Every feature included
  • Automatic provisioning
  • UK VAT handling built in
  • Ideal for resellers

The software your hosting business runs on.

Blesta handles the unglamorous half of running a hosting company: clients, invoices, tax, provisioning and support tickets, in one place. It is built for hosting providers, freelancers and MSPs, and unlike the obvious alternative it ships source-available, so you can read and change almost all of it rather than working around encoded files.

Blesta 6.0 arrived in August 2026 with a rebuilt admin interface, revenue analytics and real-time notifications. Bought direct, the licence we issue lists at $17.95 a month. Through us it is £2.00 a month ex VAT, on any active hosting, reseller, VPS or server service, which is what makes it add up if you are reselling across several environments.

What the same licence costs direct from Blesta

Source

Readable code you can adapt, not an encoded black box

Every feature

Unlimited clients and staff, all modules and gateways

A client profile in Blesta showing services, invoices and transactions

Everything about a client on one screen

Services, invoices, transactions and support history sit together, so answering "what is this charge?" takes a glance rather than three tabs. The interface is deliberately plain, which is why people who live in it all day tend to prefer it.

Because almost all of it is readable PHP, you can change what does not suit you: the client area, the emails, the workflow. Only a few files, covering licensing, stay encoded.

What it actually does for you

The parts that matter when you are billing real customers, in a real currency, with real tax to account for.

Automatic provisioning

An order comes in and the account is created without you touching it, through modules for the control panels and platforms you already run.

Multi-currency

Bill clients in the currency they expect, with conversion and rate updates handled for you rather than maintained in a spreadsheet.

Tax that fits the UK

Up to two levels of inclusive or exclusive tax, with EU VIES and UK HMRC VAT number validation, which matters if you sell across borders.

Payment gateways

Take money through the gateways your customers already trust, including Stripe, PayPal and Authorize.net, with recurring billing handled.

How it works

The whole of the small print, in three lines

  • £2.00 per licence per month ex VAT, billed alongside your hosting.
  • Blesta is installed and hosted on one of your active services with us.
  • Take as many licences as you need, one for each service you are running.
