What it does
Hosting companies need a website that explains their plans clearly and connects to the system that handles their customers and invoices. This theme is designed around that need. It includes pre-built hosting service pages for presenting plans, features and pricing, and it works with WHMCS, the billing and client management system many hosting providers already use. That lets you handle subscriptions, invoicing and customer support through your website.
Setup starts with a one-click demo import, which gives you a working hosting site to edit. From there you can adjust color schemes, typography settings and layout styles to match your brand. The layout is responsive, so it adapts to desktops, tablets and smartphones. Documentation covers customization, and the theme works alongside common WordPress plugins for forms, sliders and caching. It suits both new hosting ventures and existing providers moving to a new site.
