Runstead
Modern operating system for hosting businesses: CRM, billing, and DNS lifecycle.
A modern, investor-ready SaaS alternative to WHMCS and fragmented hosting management tools, unifying customer management, recurring billing, DNS zones, and support workflows into a single cohesive platform.
Traditional web hosting businesses run on legacy PHP systems (such as WHMCS) stitched together with disconnected third-party tools for billing, support ticketing, domain registration, and DNS management.
Hosting providers, infrastructure companies, cloud resellers, and web agencies managing client infrastructure.
Unified business operating system covering multi-cycle billing, configurable product resource tiers, white-label customer storefronts, and domain DNS zone lifecycle management.
Verified System Capabilities
Architectural Decisions & Rationales
Single unified data plane for billing and infrastructure
Rationale: Eliminates synchronization errors between payment processing and server provisioning that plague legacy multi-system setups.
Next.js App Router with server-first rendering
Rationale: Guarantees sub-second dashboard initial loads and accessible customer checkout flows without client-bundle bloat.
Technical Trade-offs & Honest Limitations
- Current repository provides the complete frontend architecture and interactive simulation environment; backend infrastructure connectors are staged for private production clusters.
- Domain registrar integrations require external API credentials for automated registrar registration and DNS delegation.
