Toronto, Canada - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - November 30, 2006 - Internet services provider and domain registrar, Tucows, has released a new version of Platypus, its billing and subscriber management software for providers of Internet-related services.

While staying true to its roots providing subscriber management, billing and provisioning for ISPs and access providers, Platypus 6.0 is designed to also alleviate the billing challenges shared and dedicated web hosting providers face, saving time and money.

Elliot Noss, President and CEO of Tucows remarked, ”By automating and driving business processes with Platypus our customers are better able to sell and provision additional services to new and existing customers.”

Bill Ford, Director of Billing Solutions for Tucows added, ”Platypus delivers an unprecedented level of niche functionality,” said “Our expertise is rooted in an intimate understanding of our customers and the business of providing Internet-related services.”

Platypus 6.0 features include: - Integration with leading web hosting control panels: Integration with cPanel, Plesk, H-Sphere, Hostopia and Ensim make provisioning easy. New two-way communication abilities lets web hosts send information and receive it for storage in customer records. - Nested services: Platypus 6.0 lets web hosts tie multiple services to one rate or product out of the box, with no custom configuration required. This makes it easy to provision or deprovision multiple services for a customer. - Service contracts: Hosting companies can enforce contract terms with early cancellation penalties, and contract penalties can be fixed or scaled. - Logic-driven provisioning: Platypus’s provisioning integration system now supports VB scripting, giving web hosts the ability to develop logic-driven provisioning rules without complicated external coding. - Server pooling: Platypus 6.0 can perform load balanced provisioning of end user control panels on web hosting servers.
