Hi. I am kinda newbie here.

I am interested which Control Panel do you prefer for management of your hosting account?

I'd like to hear why you choose exactly this CP not the other one?
(What is the best Price/Quality ratio?)

Thank you

I am not really fussed by control panels, but I guess I like Cpanel........

My host had CPanel 3.0 before but is now using H-Sphere. As a customer I have to say I like H-Sphere a lot more since I can control most of the issues myself. E.g. adding new domains, FTP administration and so on...
I can directly buy more webspace, more bandwidth, .... for me it's just confortable and there's not much waiting time anymore!

Hi,

we are so happy to be using H-Sphere.
It's scalable and includes SiteStudio (online web site builder)

It has the most advanced billing system for a user as well as for admins and resellers.

And it's much more stable than Cpanel..

CPanel 4. I think that for now, H-Sphere's interface leaves a lot to be desired, and therefore much prefer CPanel 4.

But with new control panels like HostGUI and VirtualCP just around the corner, I think that will soon change. :)

My host uses plesk and I really like it. I've used several but plesk just puts everything up there for me.

Plesk or H-Sphere

If you do a search here you will see this topic has been asked many times recently. As for my vote I like Ensim and Plesk.

Nah, not Ensim. I'd have to vote for plesk. Not that I don't like the Ensim CP, but I sent their sales and support department emails respectively 2 weeks and 1 week ago stating I was interested in purchasing a licence along with some questions. I still haven't heared the slightest whisper from them. Maybe they don't actually want to sell their product? I've been sending emails to plesk, and have been getting HELPFULL answers within 24 hours. I've just installed the 1 domain free version of plesk to test it on my machine, and if it runs well during the next few days, I'll probably buy a licence.

Why Plesk over Hsphere etc? I like their billing system more. I only want to host a few domains, so why pay more than I have to for the pleasure. Also I think the $100 a month for Cpanel is a ripp off, but plenty of people seem to like it and everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I have used Cpanel3 as an end user, and it was a nice CP, but not for $100 a month :D

P.S. If you do decide to purchase a CP, go nag some of the resellers, you'll most likely get a better deal off them than off the CP company itself. I found an official plesk reseller in Indonesia
that will sell a 30 domain licence for $180, rather than the list price of $200. It's not much of a saving, but what can I say, I'm Dutch :stickout

P.P.S. I tried webmin too. Versatile CP, but ugly and a pain in the back side to work with ;)

One vote for H-Sphere.

Several new designed templates of interface are coming soon. They are just great. You got to love them.

Does anyone care to post a good list of URL's where we can check out control pannels for Windows servers?

Thank you,
