Web hosting companies · CRM

Keep every plan, renewal date and conversation where the whole team can see it.

A CRM for a hosting company is the shared record of each customer: their plans, domains, renewal dates, tickets and who brought them. GullySales sets up the fields and stages and the routines that keep the record current, using a tool you already own or one that suits your size.

What CRM means

A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For web hosting companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Billing holds the dates, support holds the history”

    The billing system knows when a plan renews. The helpdesk knows how the customer felt last time. When neither talks to the sales team, a renewal call goes out without knowing there was an open complaint.

  • “One customer, several services”

    A single customer can hold hosting, a domain, an SSL certificate and email, each with its own renewal date. A flat list shows four rows for one person and nobody sees the whole relationship.

  • “Designer accounts hide behind client names”

    A reseller account may carry dozens of client sites. If the record shows only the designer, the host never learns which client sites are growing and need a larger plan.

  • “Cancellations leave no reason behind”

    A customer who moves away is marked closed. The reason, whether price, speed or an unanswered ticket, is never typed in, so the next renewal group repeats the same loss.

What we do

What we deliver for web hosting companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A customer record built for hosting

    Fields for plans, domains, renewal dates, persona and source, laid out so one screen shows the whole customer.

    Result: One customer opens as one record.

  2. Stages for renewal and upgrade

    A short set of stages from approaching renewal to renewed or lost, with a reason noted on every loss.

    Result: Each customer sits in a stage you can name.

  3. Linking to billing and helpdesk

    A plan for bringing the dates and tickets into the CRM, whether by import or by a connector your tools support.

    Result: The renewal view carries ticket history beside the date.

  4. Reseller account structure

    A way to record the designer and the client sites under them, so growth shows at both levels.

    Result: You can see which client sites sit behind a designer.

  5. Loss-reason tracking

    A required reason on every cancellation, chosen from a short list you agree.

    Result: Cancellation reasons can be counted and read together.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries logged in the CRM
  • Data completeness
  • Reports generated from CRM data

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Fields worth keeping

The fields that connect billing, support and sales for one hosting customer.

Plan, add-ons and renewal date
Pulled from billing by the account manager. The renewal date drives the contact list and the offer.
Sites and domains under the account
Entered at sign-up. Shows where a designer holds many client sites and where a single owner might need an upgrade.
Support history summary
Written by the support lead after notable tickets. Shows who had a bad month before the renewal call.
Migration status
Entered by the migration engineer, from requested to completed. Stops a salesperson from calling a customer whose site is mid-move.
Reseller or direct
Set at sign-up. Decides whether the contact is the end site owner or an agency, and who gets the invoice.
Reason for cancellation
Entered by whoever takes the call. Separates price, downtime, missing features and a closed business.

Who it is for

This is written for these web hosting companies.

  • Small shops and clinics with a basic brochure website
  • WordPress and WooCommerce store owners
  • Freelance web designers hosting client sites
  • Web design and digital agencies running reseller accounts
  • Colleges, schools and trusts with a simple site and email
  • Bloggers and content publishers
  • Startups needing a first VPS before moving to the cloud
  • Businesses wanting hosted business email on their own domain

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your billing and helpdesk are separate and no one will enter data in a third tool, so a CRM would hold stale records.
  • You have a few hundred customers and one account manager who remembers all of them, and a CRM adds little.
  • No one will own cancellation reasons, and the field would be left blank.

How it works

How the CRM work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Map the sales process

    We sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Tell us what you need
Which CRM should a hosting company use?
The one your team will keep up. Zoho CRM and HubSpot are in ordinary use in India, and a well-set sheet can serve a small host. We start with how you work and then choose.
Can we use our billing software as a CRM?
For dates and payments, yes. For conversations and reasons, no. We look at what it records and add only the missing pieces, so staff do not enter things twice.
Who should update the CRM?
Whoever speaks to the customer. Updating a record after a call or ticket should take a moment, so we keep the fields few and the choices short.
Can our billing system act as the CRM?
For a small customer base it can, if it stores renewal dates, plan details and notes. When you start tracking enquiries and sales conversations beyond invoices, a billing system has no place for them, which is when a separate record helps.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
