Operations / Billing Software for Web Development & Hosting Business

[Mojo_Risin]

I'm currently beginning a search for products to manage the day-to-day running of a web development business, as QuickBooks can no longer handle the complexities of my business.

What software or application do use to manage the day-to-day running of your web dev business?

Specifically, keeping track of and creating invoices for recurring billing, domains that renew at different times (and on different intervals), ongoing support contracts, hosting accounts that are paid for by clients quarterly, annually, etc...

Do any of these integrate with a LAMP server to communicate with clients about upcoming renewals, then suspend services that are not paid for in advance? Are there any nifty Web 2.0 applications out there for this?

I think it would be very interesting to hear about the many products that are probably out there, and what people think of them.

Thanks for your input!

Our firm will be offering something like this pretty soon.

What hosting control panel do you use?
What merchant account are you using?

We are using WHMCS. It's good enough. Some other names are ModernBill (more and more complicated), ClientExec. You can give them a try.
