Hi every one,
I am building a Windows Nt Control Panel..
which is 10% done...
I need suggestions - There are my plans
See this project is for Handling IIS, Stats Server, Mail server, DNS, DSN, ODBC, Frontpage extensions etc,...

It should work both on NT IIS 4.0 and W2K IIS 4.0. The Mail,server supported will be Imail and mdeamon http://www.ipswitch.com and http://www.deerfield.com and others later.. FTP supprted will be FTP Serv U ( http://www.deerfield.com ) and IIS FTP. The Stats Server Supported will be http://www.mediahouse.com and http://www.webtrends.com ..

First of all if a user signs up a then FTP, MAIL, IIS HOSTING ACCOUNT, SQL, Account, Stats, cgi-bin with perl 5.0 account should be created automatically.....

The Control Panel will do following things..
END USER

My Backend will be MS SQL

Please Suggest more features and mail servers and Ftp servers and stats server which should be supported supported.....

Man let me know where to buy it when you are done. If it works any better then Hostingcontroller.com's junk I will take abut 10 copies for now. If it can do every thing you say and the help files are any better :) I will love it.

I don't think you will have any problems selling it a there is only one off the shelf windows control panel and it sucks. We have been using it for 4 months now and there support sucks there software sucks to many bugs to damn slow. So if you make it fast and with as few bugs as you can it will rock.

Please send me a email when you get close to being done with it.
