We have considered working with this and have been in ongoing discussions with the programmers of our current billings system ( www.itrans.com ). Our plan is actually to approach the IPswitch folks and see if they will either provide an API or actually work closely with the billing folks (though I would prefer the API which would give us some room for other things). This would allow us to integrate account creation for both IMail and WSFtp (which we would switch over to if account creation could be automated to make it easier). We are already in discussion with the folks for WebBoard and WebSite Pro and the addition of IPSwitch would pretty well give a complete package for us. What are everyone else's thoughts on this since I know it has been a consideration for us awhile now.
