The Control panel written from 100% Scratch is now avaible to a selected group. We are looking for 50 companies to test and report any bugs. The Code had no relation to Cpanel3 or Webpanel.

Also during the testing we would like a name for the product. applicants must have at least a client base over 100, and know the ins and outs of resellers and Virtual hosting.

Please send your information to wjensen@vdi.net and simply explain why you should be a beta tester.

This powerful new product is an alternitive to Cpanel based clients..

I`m going blind with all these people messaging me. I can`t believe how much you all want Control panels..

Why would a host want to risk 100 of its clients on a beta test.If there is somethig wrong with the control panel it can really harm the clients.And since we are not familiar with the control panel how will we provide support for our clients?

All I`m doing is getting feedback and suggestions.

We have or own client base to test the product on and then once it has been used by 100,000 or so domains with no issues then we will make it public.

Never intended to rush or push the product.

I don't think there are many hosting companies that would want to try out an unstable control panel on their clients.

let me try to Clear some of the Confusion here :)

The companies that are invited to test / beta version will have access to the beta server as a resller to start.

You will be given accounts to modify / add / remove ect.

Then, you will test each feature and try to break it so to speak, such as the billing, clusturing, moving accounts from server to server.

Once this has been ok`ed by the group, then we move on to a live server with clients. We offer free hosting to 1000ish domains who woulld like to test the COntrol panel ect. Then the process is repeated, fake billing / moving accounts, and people try to break things once again.

As each phaze has been approved for production, the product will move on to the next level.

There are features that are going to be installed that are really impressive and some that are standard.

The Product is 80% Completed.
