I run a few game servers and I want my customers to be able to have web controls over the server. I know it would be easier if the servers were on linux but they are on windows and we wount be changing to linux any time soon. Does anyone know any programs that already do this or have any guides that could help me in writing my own. I am a fairly good coder, i just dont want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has already done this.

Hello paleck

I hear http://www.tcadmin.com/ is really good and I know alot of web hosting companies out their use it and also enjoy it. Their staff is a really good team and hard working I personally never used it but heard very good things about them and about their product. Give them a try, they are made for windows only.

Best of luck with your choice

Your quite welcome paleck.

Their is also another company but personally I would not recommend them hence is why i left their link out, I've heard they have bad service and what not but maybe its changed. www.gamecp.com they just recently opend up windows server maybe you will have a better expeince with them, but I would highly recommend www.tcadmin.com for many reasons even though I have no experience with them. Best of luck with your choice!

Thanks Frimon86,

They both have a trial version so i think ill give them both a shot and see which one i like better. I think i am leaning towards useing TCAdmin.

Make sure you try them all before making any decision. Compare the features, pricing etc... vs. your business model and current network/server layout.

There is nothing worse than getting something you don't like, or doesn't work for you, then have to change it afterwards.

Here is a listing of current panels that I am aware of. I will withold posting our link, as it is against the rules to self promote.

GameCP - http://www.gamecp.com
Game Create - http://www.gamecreate.com
Kronos CP - http://www.kronos-cp.com/
Game-Panel - http://www.game-panel (according to their forums they have gone out of business)

Trial them all and see which fits you and your business best.

Also remember that planning and allowing time to implement whatever solution you decide on is your the best for you.

MODS if the link in my sig is against the rules of self promotion, feel free to delete this post. I am simply providing links to other panels for this person.

wow, I didnt know all that with game-panel that is really weird.

gamecreate looks like it has some potential. but to be honest I use tcadmin now and I have no desire to even look elsewhere. I still use some old control panels on a few gameservers I have. eventually I will move those over to tcadmin as well, but they are full units and it's a little hard :(
