Domains will almost certainly remain as services but be given a designation as domains so they can be displayed a little differently. That seems to be the simplest way forward. There will still be a plugin, which will handle creating a pricing grid, syncing renew dates, whois etc. The idea with the pricing grid is that packages will have the ability to defer pricing to a plugin. So, the idea is you could create a single package and not set any pricing, and it will obtain pricing from the plugin/pricing matrix for all TLDs and register/renew/xfer.
This is subject to change to some extent, but should give you some idea of where we are headed.

we are testing the order form template for hosting provider in that website, at the moment is working fine with a few simple issue that was fixed now ... we will release it when we are soon to v4 final .
 

The Perfect Answer .

The changes listed look more bug fixes etc. I barely see any improvement in the accessibility. As said packages still don't show according to the package groups, they just drop in a big list which is not friendly at all. I have 3 package groups: domains, hosting, addons and when I view packages, I should see the package group then its packages, so it should be like:
Domain
x
x
x
Hosting
z
z
z
Addons
y
y
y
But its coming like:
z
x
y
z
x
y
z
y
x
So things like these needs improvements.
Thanks.

To be honest, Blesta can't handle the hosting market aspect, we have made a huge change in our order form but still we are away from offering a true hosting business, this is caused by the core limitation. we hope in v4.1 this aspect change .
 

First Look to cPanel Extended v6.0
  We are in the final stretch, only 4 days left until the end of the crowdfunding campaign, you can still make your contribution to support the development of this module and get your cPanel Extended license up to 50% cheaper than the final selling price. Or you can even get the unencoded version (without ionCube) exclusively from the crowdfunding campaign at FundRazr ________________________________________________________________________________________
Crowdfunding Campaign

Due to the Blesta updates and the constant changes of the cPanel API, the module has been broken down over time.
I have received several messages here in the forum commenting on various problems they are having with the module.
In addition to this, several bugs and even security issues have been found, many of these directly inherited from the old cPanel Extended from ModulesGarden code that was released under the MIT license.
As a solution to all these problems, we consider that the best option is to completely rewrite from scratch the module using the latest cPanel SDK (Authentication by Tokens) and the latest development standards. (PHP 7 and PSR-2)
The process of rewriting a module as complex as cPanel Extended is a very time-consuming process, so it requires the development team to be full-time involved in its development to ensure a quality and safe product. This is one of the reasons why we are raising funds, in order to finance the time that will be spent on development.
Because cPanel Extended is a totally free, ad-free and open source module, it does not represent any monetary income for us, so it is complicated for us to schedule specific time to maintain the module, therefore we decided to make the next version, a paid module, in order to afford the time of development and maintenance and avoid abandoning the module. 
Although cPanel Extended will now be a paid module, we will release a completely free "cPanel Extended Lite" version, with all the functions of cPanel Extended v5 (But without bugs :p), Also by supporting the financing of cPanel Extended, you will also be helping to the free version receive the same maintenance and development as the paid version.
What if we don't reach the goal? If we do not reach the campaign goal within 30 days, all the backers will receive a refund.

cPanel Migrator Plugin
During the course of the campaign, several users have reported various problems with cPanel Extended v5, from simple bugs to problems that impede the correct running of the business. 
We know how important it is to have a reliable tool and fully functional in a business, to avoid problems with the customers. Since cPanel Extended v5 no longer meets the security and reliability requirements to be used in a business, we have developed cPanel Migrator, a simple plugin for Blesta that allows you to migrate temporarily all the packages, services and servers from cPanel Extended v5 to cPanel core, until the new version of cPanel Extended is released.    The tool can be downloaded free of charge from the following link: https://github.com/CyanDarkInc/plugin-cpanel-migrator/archive/master.zip  ________________________________________________________________________________________

This feature in the task, and not yet available now .
 

After the new big release of Blesta V4, I have to say that is awesome to know that you update your code to support PHP7 and make changes to the composer and the Mass Mailer option that we needed; but I want to know why you are not paying attention to what our community needs?
 
I think all of us agree that we need a better system for the Domain Management, is something that is very complicated at this moment and we have, to be honest, is a complete disaster. Knowing that most of the user of Blesta are business involve in the hosting industry, I think this will need to be considered top priority but is not.
 
Today I invite you guys to let us understand why this feature that we need urgently is not being taken into consideration.
 
All of us here I am 100% have custom modules or plugins that we develop to get around all of this lack of functionally blesta don’t offer. Is incredible that after 1 – 2 years asking for a better system we still waiting for blesta to come with a new system. We saw a little light in the darkness when Paul address this Domain Manager issue on August 22 -2016 but we are on March 19, 2017, and after seven months nothing new about this matter at all.
 
We heard that in 4.1 Maybe this will be considered but is something we need right now.
 
Blesta, please hear us!!!.  We loved you so much but we can’t be together if you don’t change.
 
*This post reflects only my personal opinion.

I'm not releasing the synergy wholesale extension until Blesta get their domain management framework sorted out. Sadly, WHMCS has a better way to manage domains for the admin.
 
For me to support the 100s of synergy domains I need to create a separate package for each. This is ridiculous. I will rework it once Blesta sort this domain management mess.

Yes, domain sync is necessary and would be handled by the plugin component.

Version 4.0.0 is now available. You can download directly right here.

I m also agree with Paul try hugo. We already start move from WordPress to hugo and its more secure and faster then WordPress.

I think it would be a good idea to reverse those two. As much as we (and I'm sure other companies) like to sell new domain names and get customers to transfer from other providers, I think having the hosting signup portion at the beginning would be more logical and then ask them to select one of three options:
1) I'd like to register a new domain
2) I'd like to transfter my domain from another provider
3) I'll update my nameservers

Pretty sure someone could create an order template that does this now. It would break the mold a bit, but I believe it's possible.
Most of the forms we looked at when we implemented this originally went from Domain > Hosting> Configure & Checkout. Reversing those first two would definitely be a good alternative and something we will consider.

I think it would be good to be able to see if a PayPal account from which payment was made is verified or not, and possibly be able to put orders on hold that were paid with unverified accounts.
 
If nothing else, it's one more tool in the bucket when reviewing an order for possible fraud.

you can use my admin tools  plugins , is open source, in github , it has this feature .you and any other on,e can review the code and sent a pull request or report any bug in iy .
 

I'm not sure what needs to be done with the domain registrar modules but I see that Enom has new API information and I would guess other providers do as well:

Hello Paul,
Nice idea.I love that.

Yes, thanks for the update. I'm not sure I understand the OPs issue with services, that sounds unusual and we would need more details to be able to replicate that. Upgrading from 3.x to 4.0 should work pretty much exactly the same as before.. but yeah, don't forget to run ~/admin/upgrade, there's some important database changes in there.  

Blesta markets itself as "The Billing Software Platform for Hosting Providers" so i don't think improving the experience for shared hosting is too much to ask. It's a super product for VPS and dedicated servers. Actually I think its the best billing system period for literally anything other than shared hosting.
 
Anyway this should hopefully sum up the desired user flow but anyone else can chime in to improve it if I've missed anything.
 

 
The next step would be to figure out how that translates to the UI. The primary problem with current UI is there is no option for admins to add context e.g. with tooltips or field descriptions. this is fine for smart users but shared hosting users aren't always technically inclined.
 
The current problem is if a customer uses paths A or B there is no easy way to get to C if they don't already have a domain. Nor is it clear that they need to get a domain. This is the main cause of confusion that many admins have been hoping to be changed in this forum.
 
Currently landing on a package with pricing gives the configurable options box for domain. one proposal could be to have 3 radio selects below the domain. 1 that allows the customer to use the domain they've already registered and is the equivalent to how just pressing continue currently works, another that allows the customer to transfer a domain (not as important but its a nice extra) and finally one that will search for the domain. Radio selects would allow for more elaborate language but if someone can think of concise ways of getting the point across then buttons may be better.

Hello
We are using WHMCS from 2006.last last year 2015 we try Blesta and yes! it was a great experience working with blesta. But blesta have some lack of their modules like Domain search and management option. We back WHMCS again just for domain management system.also it's bad intention for make money like WHMCS do. WHMCS can existing customer to renew always their Owned Unbranded.I lost faith with WHMCS+cPanel also leaving cPanel to ISPmanager for this reason.

Waiting for Blesta Domain manager then buy Owned Lifetime.

Now a days all company saying "we respect your privacy" But they steal our privacy what we doing EX: google Facebook & others.Really worried about future online word. It has not like that before.We have stop bad practice.

I'm curious to know why you have database upgrades being processed when re-saving a package rather than upgrading the module?

count me in - we're leaving WHMCS - like a - for good.
The main reason is the inability to buy further "owned" licenses and loss of trust in WHMCS company in general.
I dont have issues with levels of new prices, I just REFUSE to have a key company software - a billing - "just rented". I need a "boxed" version just for my peace of mind.
