Internet Service Provider Jabbie Internet (Jabbie.com) announced on Wednesday it has acquired cPanel and DirectAdmin skin designer and programming provider StyleSmooth (Jabbie.com/StyleSmooth).
StyleSmooth was a commercial product for Web hosting companies using control panels cPanel (cpanel.net) and DirectAdmin (directadmin.com) to help them manage their daily business operations and bring a more simplified, enhanced interface to the end-users. Following the acquisition, Jabbie plans to enhance the current service offerings and also provide the products to other users. StyleSmooth will be re-launched under Jabbie Internet and is available from Jabbie.com/StyleSmooth free of charge under an open source licence.

"StyleSmooth is a fantastic product and Jabbie believe that the re-opening of this fantastic product once again under a open source licence can only have a positive impact on the hosting industry" says Jon Black, Managing Director of Jabbie Internet Ltd.

StyleSmooth is a skin for DirectAdmin and cPanel designed to enhance the overall experience for end-users, administrators and resellers. It is currently in use by over 2,000 Web hosting companies.
