Hey Guys

I have a few quick questions about H Spere I was wondering if any of you guys could give me a hand by giving me some answers it would be much appreciated if you could. For the past 2 or so years I have been a standard host offering virtual hosting from a few servers out of rackshack and valueweb. At the moment I am moving into my first 10 units of co-located space in a European pan datacentre based in Ireland.

I am running into a lot of extra tasks from my normally poping onto rackshack.net and getting another dedicated box with a control panel.

Now I have to go and buy the software which is surprising as its pretty expensive. I am a ensim professional host at the moment and I like ensim it ties itself into the server a bit much however you learn to live with it. This colo will be for a new ltd company, tax, office etc.. everything above board and only selling directly to business’s based in Ireland. So I will be charging setup fees to these company’s.

So I was thinking H Spere looks like pretty good value, as ensim is like 700 per server and H Spere is meant to be really good and have a good API and nice billing plugins.

Ok firstly its 4.50 an account and a setup fee with H Spere correct ?

How many accounts do you have to buy in each batch is their a limit ?

How do you find the control panel compared to others?

The demo version of H Spere looks really old and not as good as ensim pro is it skin able?

Are you using it for billing plugins?

Thanks in advance for your help guys.

retail price for licenses is 4.50 per control panel login. Some resellers may have it cheaper. There is also a $95.00 installation fee if you don't install it yourself.

The limit on the number of account you HAVE to buy is something like 50 or 100 for the initial package. After that you may be able to buy smaller quantities depending on the reseller. Psoft i believe only sells them in 100 blocks.

Never used another panel, so i cant make the comparision.

Yes hsphere is skinnable, there is 3 skins that come with it. hspheretemplates.com also sells a skins package for it, or you can create your own.

I do use the billing in hsphere, and only ever had 1 problem with it. Other hosts from what i have seen have had a few more, but like i said.. i have only ever had 1 billing issue arise from hsphere.

Greetings:

Jefferey from HSphereTemplates.com does an awesome job with templates / skins.

We use H-Sphere through and through including the billing system.

Support is extremely responsive, and the forum is relatively active.

Thank you.
