Hi,

Anyone knows or uses Professo's web control panel at http://professo.com/?

Your info will be appreciated.

wow... this a definantly is pretty cool system. :)

Take a look at the backend. You will find it is little more than a custom front end to webmin.

It's sold $2,500 for unlimited server licence plus $3 per hosted domain per year, and its functions are somewhat like ensim's... automated signup, combined billing system, and reseller, wholesaller and server management. And it's cheaper than ensim.

But the problem is I don't know who has used it. Is it good or bad?

I like CPanel, but it's leased at around $100 per month per server through VDI and Burst, and $200 per month through liquidweb. That's a little bit too expense. Right?

I know it's cheaper if dedicated servers are hosted by VDI and Burst, but I don't want to host there.

The only thing I need now is a good control panel at a reasonal price no matter what brand it's.

What's your suggestion in this regard?

Its interesting.

I think ensim has a proven backround, never heard of this...

Why not check it and give me your opinion? It would help.

I am not sure how to get into backend because no password and username are provided. Strange!

If a customer can do similar things within that as with CPanel, it must be encouraging because ticket supporting, billing, merchant account, gateway, MLM, and some other things are all built into the syetem.

If a customer can only add domains and pay bills, it would not be what I want.

Hopefully someone has real experience in that.

Checkall, it looks like you have reviewed Professo but not Ensim. If you check all the facts you will see that Ensim has been around longer and has a deeper feature set. I urge you to talk to an Ensim sales rep to get the facts.

Ensim has never lost a deal to any competitor when put head to head. No single package out there can stand up to Ensim ServerXchange. I know you will find the benefits outweigh the costs and in the long run Ensim is cheeper.

Well being a serious Ensim user

I will say this Matt in a price point matter.

Cpanel kicks ensims as*

Granted there is a huge difference in fuctionality product and what not.

And I back ensim totally, just wanting for the update and it will be all good.

I talked to ensim people in Internet Spring 2001 held in L.A. and through phone call after the convention, and have, since then, received emails and printing material sent by ensim and checked some host sites which are ensim customers.

I believe what you posted here, and also understand of what you can do to improve your software with 80+ million dollar venture capital. But you have priced your product too high that small companies cannot afford, or simply transfer the price to end users as some ensim customer sites sell high price hosting accounts.

What I'd like to see is more and more players join the competition to not only offer better CP programs, but also lower the price.

You are not kidding. WP 2.3 needs help. Terrible memory management. Crappy name based features and bugs. The ftp and telnet issues being our biggest problem. With SX 3.0, we heard telnet and ftp users will be jailed plus it will run on RH 7.1. Now we can put it on a beefy RAID5 box. Also, the memory issue has been addressed. True???

I too love Ensim. I just want them to release 3.0 so we can get cranking. When is the release??? :)

checkall, look at the stand alone (LS) version of WEBppliance. Cost isn't too bad and it is scalable.

This is one top reasons we still have the box and didn't ship it back. I think with that amount of cash, they can quickly add features as they are needed or requested.

If get dedicated server or colo through a data center that has purchased Professo, CP cost can be almost free. The fee for small guys would be $3 per domain per year.

As I know, Professo doesn't force data centers to buy its box.

The only concern is I don't know anyone is using Professo control panel and so am not sure how it works.

Why no to go with H*Sphere http://www.psoft.net ?
Updated monthly, has very rich feature set. Seems like everything professo can do and more.
