Hi...thanks for you help...I just checked at WEBCP webpage and it seems to be a good solution....would you use it instead of Cpanel/WHM?? I mean, is it a good solution when compared to the most popular ones??
Thanks.

Of course not, but the questions you need to answer before using it are:

A) Does it fit your companies needs?
B) Is it a security issue to your clients?
C) Do you really need it?

Hope this helps.

No. I'd use WHM/cpanel over webcp anyday of the week or month. Webcp is not going to be updated as far as I remember. :)

I personally would choose cpanel/whm over webcp because cpanel is commerical software that is updated regularly. If you're going to start hosting you can't be cheap when it comes to vital business tools.

... thats right so switch to windows XP hosting right away. You can't trust that freeware Leenuux thing anyway ...


I simply wanted to join in to say that indeed for now cpanel is better than web://cp... but it'll be that way only until we have a complete product, not a developper only version :)

Actually Félix I liked webcp when I had a plain redhat box. The thread starter was looking for free control panel alternatives and then asked an opinion of which would someone use. I gave him my personal opinion that although I do like webcp, if he is serious about hosting he should get a paid panel which is regularly updated. I was waiting for your version 1 to be released but I couldn't wait long and paid for cpanel. When your version 1 comes out I will give it a try on my test box but as of now my personal opinion is to shell out money on a paid panel.
