Can-Host Networks is proud to give you the opportunity to beta test our Control Panel. WEB.CP will
be released under GNU license once it is stable and be available to everyone freely.


You may have noticed that the current control panel system designed by Cobalt Networks are overall
good, however not great. There are limiting factors in the software, which restrict how it can
be used. Therefore, in the past 6 months Can-Host Networks has been developing our own control system.
Developed for ease of use, speed of adding features, and better reseller options which allow resellers
to instantly add new website, users, and features.

Features currently available in the new Can-Host Networks control panel are listed below.

FEATURES
---------------------------------------------
Easy management of multiple domains and users
Customizable Graphic User Interface
Web Mail via Squirrel Mail
Protected Directories
Webalizer web usage reports
MySQL & PostgreSQL phpadmin tools.
Multiple databases available
Multiple forward, wildcard, catch all and aliases for domains and users
Advanced domain pointers system
Server status information
Advanced features for resellers
Advanced help system
User directories anywhere
Fast and reliable
Built for efficiency, privacy and security
---------------------------------------------



Upcoming (soon) features are listed below.

FEATURES
---------------------------------------------
Web file manager
Invoice system
Messaging system
Built in live technical support
Advanced backup system
DNS access for your domains
Site mirroring
Multiple languages support
---------------------------------------------

And much more!


In addition to all these new features which are being introduced to Can-Host Networks, we have designed a
new powerful network to ensure the speed of your website(s). Every new server includes the following features.

HARDWARE

Dual 800-933mhz Processors
512megs - 2 Gig SDRAM
40-120 Gigs of IDE hard drive space
20-60 Gig SCSI drives

And many more!


Can-Host Networks is looking for interested and professional webmasters to test this new control panel system.
The test period will last 1 month. These testers will be contacted first when we wish to beta test additions to the control panel, which are
already in the planning stage.
Professional administrators, webmasters, and security experts from around the world will also evaluate the system.

That rocks Félix and I wish you the best with it and hope that it eventually brings you world-wide fame, and later fortune :)

Felix,

I agree with Chicken here. Just the thought of a freely available, professional Control Panel excites this old heart of mine far more than is medically sound. :) For someone like myself on the verge of moving into the whole world of dedicated servers et.al. The feature list looks very impressive - made by someone who's been dealing with webhosting - not just a programming paid to whip something up (refering to the Alabanza CP here). It's pretty good but I have 'issues' with it :)

Chicken,

Just noticed your new sig. Kinda tired of that question are you? :)

Unless I'm mistaken that means free. Felix can confirm that of course :)

The current one is free... the upcoming features will not be free though.

Thanks for the words :)

The web.cp will be released under GPL (free).

Further advanced additions like web hosting farm management, integrated invoices system, may come at a small fee.

We don't want to charge a lot of $$ for this; we want it to be popular... and honestly, we did it more for ourselves than anything else :)

Alright! :)

Felix,

Now that's some good news for us all in general I think. By the way I was taking a look at your site last night and checked out the plans you have for dedicated server options. Unless I was reading that chart wrong you seem to have some very nice deals indeed! I've pencilled your site in for future reference (which won't be far away with luck) *lol*
