Facts about Blesta checked on its own pages on 5 October 2026 — sources below.
What is Blesta?
Blesta is self-hosted billing, provisioning and support software for web hosts — in its own words, "Mission control for your hosting business". You buy a licence (monthly, or a one-time owned licence), install it on your own server and connect it to hosting control panels, domain registrars and payment gateways. It has no IPTV panel integration of its own, and its official marketplace listed no IPTV panel module when we searched it on 5 October 2026.
Honest credit where it’s due
- ●Licence price if you host it yourself: from $17.95 a month, or a one-time owned licence from $350 — with unlimited clients and staff on every licence.
- ●Code you can read and change, on your own server. (Blesta describes its licence as commercial and source-available, not open source.)
- ●Domains and web hosting: its integrations list covers 12 domain registrars and 28 hosting, VPS and game-server panels, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin and Proxmox among them.
- ●36 payment gateways are included, crypto among them, and there is a 30-day free trial.
Built for IPTV resellers and panel owners
- ●IPTV works on day one: 18 IPTV panels (NXT, XUI, Xtream UI, Ultra 8K, Strong 8K, Activation Panel and 12 more) plus Plex, Jellyfin and Emby are connected out of the box. With Blesta you would write a module for your panel, or handle each order by hand.
- ●Hosted for you: nothing to install, secure or upgrade. Sign up, connect your panel, and your store is online.
- ●A storefront made for IPTV: ready-made themes, your own domain, free trials, multi-connection plans and M3U or MAC delivery by email.
- ●Free to start without setting up a server — free until you have 25 paying customers, no card.
- ●Sell where your customers are: Discord and Telegram billing bots are available as add-on modules, next to the web store.
- ●We move you over: export your clients and services from Blesta and we import them for you.

IPTVbp or Blesta: which one should you pick?
Pick IPTVbp if
You sell IPTV and want it working today: a customer pays, the line is created on your panel, and you never touch a server. You would rather not build and maintain a panel module yourself.
Pick Blesta if
You are a web host or a developer who wants to own the software and the server, prefers a one-time licence, and is ready to build the IPTV connection yourself — or IPTV is only a small extra beside hosting.
Blesta and IPTVbp: common questions
Is there a Blesta module for IPTV panels?+
Blesta itself ships none, and its official marketplace listed no module for Xtream UI, XUI.one, NXT or other IPTV panels when we searched it on 5 October 2026. Blesta does let developers write their own modules, and its Universal Module can cover orders you fulfil by hand. If you want panel provisioning that already works, IPTVbp connects to 18 IPTV panels out of the box.
How much does Blesta cost compared with IPTVbp?+
On blesta.com (October 2026) a monthly licence is $17.95 to $23.95, an owned licence is a one-time $350 to $500, and a lifetime licence starts at $1,295 — you also pay for the server it runs on. IPTVbp is hosted: it starts free and then costs from €29 a month, with the IPTV panel connections, the storefront and the payment gateways included.
Is IPTVbp a Blesta alternative?+
For IPTV, yes. Blesta is a general billing system for hosting companies that you install yourself. IPTVbp is a hosted platform built only for IPTV resellers and panel owners, so the panel provisioning, the IPTV storefront and the renewals work without any development.
Can I move from Blesta to IPTVbp?+
Yes. Send us an export of your clients and their services from Blesta and we do the move for you, free of charge. If you would rather do it yourself, a CSV importer is available as a module, and on XUI and NXT panels you can pull your existing lines straight from the panel.
When is Blesta the better choice?+
When you want to own and host the software yourself, value a one-time licence and readable code, and your main products are hosting and domains. Blesta is strong there, and IPTVbp does not sell domains or hosting.
