What's New in WHMCS 6.0.0
All New Responsive Client Area
- Optimized for Mobile: The new client area is designed to be responsive giving your clients an optimal viewing experience, no matter whether it's from their phone, tablet or computer with the display adapting as necessary.
- Contextual Sidebars: Sidebar menus provide intelligent options and information relevant to the current page being viewed that make it easier to get to where you want to go more quickly.
- Dynamic Searching & Pagination: New dynamic interactive tables bring with them page switching without reloads, instant filtering and searching as you type, along with quick filters for getting the information you want more quickly.
- Client Notifications: Accessible from every page, Client Notifications will alert your customers to items that need their attention. Things like unpaid invoices, domains expiring soon, and more...
- Localisation: Gone is the old dropdown menu of languages by their English name, and in comes a new localised language dropdown chooser, with each language name displayed in its local native form.
- Developer Friendly: Menus, sidebars, the all new client area homepage and product management pages can now all be manipulated from a WHMCS module. This means with 6.0, modules can shape the user experience more than ever.
Additional Features
- WHMCSConnect: A brand new way to access and administer your servers. Utilising cPanel Single Sign-On integration to provide instantaneous login to any of your WHM servers, right from within WHMCS. Other modules coming soon...

- Responsive Admin Interface: We have begun implementing responsive behaviour to the admin area too. This is a long term project that will evolve over time, but we're committed to making the admin area responsive too.
- Open Source Components: Components from Symfony, Laravel and a number of other projects, used commonly throughout the PHP community for their stability and power, are leveraged to make extensibility easier.
- Easier to Integrate & Maintain: With a flexible design structure, following all the latest standards and best practices, and based upon the latest Bootstrap 3.0, the new client area is easier to integrate than ever. And easier to update too.
