I am currently leasing a dedicated, self managed server for a few hundred dollars a month (Win 2k, P4 800mhz,512MB RAM, 36GB of disk space,IIS5, and 50GB of bandwidth/month).
I purchased and installed IMail Server 7.1. So far, I have a guaranteed 7 customers that will use my hosting services. All small businesses with minimal web requirements.

I am looking for a good control panel solution for myself for admin purposes and for the end user and possibly billing.

Any opinions on the setup I have so far? Any recomendations?

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

If you want a control panel with billing built in use Hsphere. This control panel gives the end user more control over their account. Lets say one day they wanted another 100MB of storage space. They can do this from their control panel and it will bill them accordingly. We use it along with authorize.net. Any more questions feel free to email me at chris@radicalv.com

Cheers :-)

HSPhere is not a solution for you. That panel has to be installed in a linux box, then yes you can manage a win box. HSPhere is a solution for people that have for less 3 box.
You have: Ensim, webservercp...

HSPhere is rediculously high in my opinion unless im reading the pricing wrong..

You pay 95 setup, THEN 4.50 an account at 100account blocks. $450.00 every 100 customers.. thats an expensive solution dont you think?
