What am I missing using Proxmox for VPS Hosting

I was asking on another forum what people are using for VPS hosting. Several people suggested Proxmox. So far it seems to be missing two major things which are absolute musts for VPS hosting. Central IP management and multi-datacenter awareness.

I could probably work around the centralized IP management issue because my IP blocks are specific to each datacenter anyways. However, I need this all to tie into WHMCS billing so I need that to connect to just one Proxmox Management interface. Not a separate one for each datacenter. I am usually using just one or two dedicated servers in a datacenter but I use lots of different datacenters around the world. Maybe I am missing something and there is some way to easily do that with Proxmox?

I am not doing anything with clusters in datacenters so I don't have much use for that feature. What I do need to do sometimes is migrate VMs between servers in different datacenters. Doesn't seem to be any easy way to do that in Proxmox yet.

It looks like Proxmox is not the tool for your requirements.
Probably not. I can replicate most of the behaviour in WHMCS Billing but I need to purchase at least 3 ModulesGarden modules to do it. Not much of an improvement in price for my use case and a more complicated setup compared to what I am doing now with Solus.
