Thanks, Peter; but I've been there and done that, and under H Sphere features it list a few of them, then it says that H Sphere has more features than they can list. That is laughable.

I was just hoping someone would help out and put a yes or no beside the features I listed. It'd be a much simpler reference for me and others who might be interested. I would do it myself, but I don't have an H Sphere acct to look at now, and everything doesn't work on the H Sphere demo.

Well, the demo was working for me, but that was 6 months ago. And maybe they do have more features than they can list; from what I have heard, it does sound that way.

I know some of the questions you will just have to look in the definitive features reference or work with a live demo, but the link should at least help with simple questions. (e.g. being a control panel it must have Unix quota support, etc....)

Peter

Thanks, Peter. What I was saying was that they say they cannot list all of the features, yet CPanel does, and I don't think they have as many features as cPanel. Even if they do, the list is not infinite. I'm sure they could list them all in a 5K file.

I wont sit and mark eask one, but I would say about 90% would be a yes. The others can easily be done from the shell.

In regards to cpanel, there is no comparison. They are on 2 completely different levels (cpanel being on the lower of the 2 levels :D )

Thats arguable but let us get into no arguement...

You could argue it all day, but let's just say that a decentralised system like CPanel that uses flat files will not scale as well as a system that handles mangement from a centralised database system.

Why is that? Please explain.

I think he means cpanel uses flat-text files to store information, while h-sphere uses a database to do such things.

As with the comparison of bulletin borad software that use flat-text to database, the database version would be more scalable (ie. can handle large amount of users without slow down).

Peter

Thanks Peter for explaining that.

No problem. Glad to help.
