Anyone here using Machsol as their control panel? I'm looking at purchasing it to use as my Exchange control panel and wanted to get some feedback. Can I also use it for web hosting or would I need another program for that? Thanks!

Are you able to install/configure Machsol in the server ? Which personally I knew very hard to get work with it.

Exchange mail hosting purpose is to target the whole organization mail account and not to a single customer. where you have to be conscious about product maturity. Once you lose the reputation of the services then things will get worst.

I am surprised why people not chose the mature exchange product like Hosting Controller ,DNP. They are not that much costly but infact the guarantee to have Stable Exchange hosting including basic control panel version too.

All the best

We have tried to install Machsol once but could not make it run successfully due to its complex interface and bugs also their support is totally not helpful. They assume customers know the product from the very first day and should be able to install their buggy application without any help.


I am 100 % agree with mooodi that you should try some old players of market rather then new.

Currently we are running Hosting Controller as a Exchange module and very happy with its performance and easy to use interface. Their support is also very helpful and most of the time install and configure Exchange module on customers servers free of cost like they did for us.

Ofcourse a mature product such as Hosting Controller or DNP is a far better bet than Machsol panel. Machsol is quite new in the market and it would take quite a few years to mature its processes.

It would always be better to go with a mature and a stable product for MS Exchange hosting.

Does Machsol offer any Online DEMO of their product(Exchange Module)? Hosting Controller offer an online walkthrough for their Exchange, Blackberry, SharePoint, CRM modules which I requested from their website and I would really say that I liked the product but still would like to see more from Machsol or any other control panel too in order to compare the products.

I tried the Exchange 2007 Control Panel Virtual Tour of Machsol but that is not much helpful like the Online DEMO

I suggest you take a look at DotNetPanel, it works pretty good.

Hosting Controller is better option and they offer MSExchange, BlackBerry, SharePoint and Dynamic CRM modules. You can check the Online DEMO for Exchange modules by requesting at:

DotNetPanel is another good panel for Enterprise Modules and you may have a look in detail at their Modules from:
http://www.dotnetpanel.com/enterprise%2Dsolution/

Plesk too offer such thing but it is far more costly than the aove options. You can have overview from this link:

I would personally encourage you to go for Hosting Controller as its price is reasonable first of all and secondly you would yourself see the difference of level of support they offer to their customers. Anyways other 2 options I have mentioned too and after all man is the master of his own will :stickout:. So, its upto you which panel you go for to manage the Exchange and other modules. Best of luck with your pursuit.
