Hello,

We`ve just launched a Windows 2003 Web server, now I`m going to choose a control panel for that, Please send your suggestions and experiences with the following control panels:

1) Hosting Controller

2) CubePanel

3) Helm4

4) Plesk

5) Ensim

6) HostingAccelerator

7) cwipanel

8) dotNetPanel

9) InsPanel


I`ve heard all about Plesk, Helm and DNP, but there is some other good and more user-friendly panels at this list which I dont know why those has not suggested anywhere.

** Security is the most important thing for us.
** That should be a user-friendly panel (As many customers confuse when working with some windows control panels).
** Price is important for us too, Should be at a reasonable price like 15-25$/mo or 300$ onetime.

Merry Christmas Guys! :)

Helm > Ensim > Hsphere === Plesk >> Good panel but not much user friendly & quite expensive too

HostingAccelerator >> From long time didn't heard any activity from them

Dotnetpanel >> Seems to me Plesk own control panel ;)

Hosting Controller >> HC7 version is secure as compare to 6, its no doubt user friendly

Helm and h-sphere .... very good.

Hosting Controller, it is the oldest controller around here, cost and support are both good with the support more often than not willing to go out of their way to help solve issues which may or may not relate to the controller.

Using them for ages, since 1999 or something like that, can't remember, highly recommended, still using them for Windows!

If you get CubePanel the free version is very insecure.
I recommend Plesk, depending where you get your dedicated server, some sites off Viruozzo & Plesk packs on the Windows OS.

Hosting Controller good for windows? do you have a url to their official site? thanks.

Hosting Controller, all the way for Windows... The official website is http://HostingController.com .

Hosting Controller was orginally a Windows only controlpanel, therefore it is very strong in Windows, their linux version was out not too long ago.

can you tell us which control panel you have found the best ?

My personal opinion would be Hosting Controller especially their latest version 7C

Another vote for Hosting Controller... I really like the user interface and ease through which a novice user can operate through the control panel. I understand know they support MS-Exchange 2007.


Blessed.

I'd say Helm - Used it many a time before, never had any major problems with it. User friendly, does the job properly and never had any complaints from clients. However it does come with a hefty price tag unfortunately.

I would go for DotNetPanel, easy to use great support and they don't have anything to do with SWSoft/Plesk

Helm is now part of SWSoft/Plesk so wouldn't be surprised if there prices go up.

I have used PLESK and quite happy with it! I surely will try Hosting Controller upon the recommendation of some hosting veterans!

Thanks guys, I personally prefer HostingController because of user-friendly control panel for customers and reasonable price for us.

That is 250$ right now, very good price in comparison with Plesk etc.

Just to inform you that they have released latest build which include MS-Exchange 2007 support and HC Open API.

HostingAccelerator seems to have died. They haven't had updates or offered any support for a couple of years! I recommend you stay away from HA. We stopped trying to surive with it and moved to Helm 4. Now that Webhosting Automation, LTD.(Helm) have sold out to Plesk, we are a bit nervous about our future support and its development path. We purchased Helm durning a 50% off sale last year. Seemed to good to pass up at the time.
