    Almost all GSP's use TCAdmin (sorry i can't post a link due to my under 5 post restrictions). When you get larger, like NFO or gameservers.com you can code your own control panel.

    Currently their Linux version of TCAdmin is pretty stable, however i only use Windows for game servers, just because of the massive support of the newest games released on a windows platform.

    They could not come up with a quality product and decided to focus exclusively on Windows

    I dissagree with that. your find most proper, up market, quality service GSP use their own control panel.

    theres another thread further down in this section on the forum that list the game control panels. there is only the right game control panel for your business plan and budget.

    start small, grow big.

    The big companies yes, like NFO, gameservers.com, and more two or three more.

    However TCAdmin is now powering 46,871 game servers (as of march 2009). Quite a bit isn't it? I believe it goes to show that this panel (even though the cost is expensive) the one of the most reliable. Too bad they don't offer Linux support anymore.

    Swift Panel is one of the better Linux panels I have seen. Although reading through their forums I saw support is not very good and new features are not being released as promised.

    Swift Panel installs easily, looks amazing, but like the above says they arent releasing anything. You can customize the startup scripts and client options but the server monitor section is lacking function for most / almost all games.

    Swift panel is very goo, but it is little bit expensive. They have many good features that work very well unlike other CPs

    I wish TCAdmin would develop a control panel for Linux. I've yet to come across a decent Linux-based GSCP.

    The next updates to SWIFT Panel look very good.

    It is a shame they are taking so long to release it...

    46,871 game servers doesnt mean alot to be honest.... dont confuse game server with GSP two very different things.

    doesnt mean they have 46,871 clients lol.

    however yes its a very nice control panel not bashing it it anyway, I too have personally used it and yes its great for windows servers.

    I've got a close on on swiftpanel have been tempted to try them out, and its not a case of there not releasing any updates its a case of they are really busy working on a billing module to co inside with there panel.

    no I dont work for them or with them this is somthing that can be found out by actually reading there forums instead of quickly bashing the company.

    unless being a client of theres how do you know what support is like? bare in mind im pretty sure they deal with ticket support better as remember online forum is not really suppose to be for support

    It looks like cPanel is having a open beta for their game server addon (cPGS).

    cPanel GS

    I have provided a few people with cPanel GS. They like it, but of course it was something that they had worked with in the past. I would say that more people use other control panels. Although I know some people that are very comfortable with cPanel. Therefore when running CS : S they absolutely prefer cPanel as it is easy to manage for them.

    cPanel GS only supports;

    TeamSpeak
    Savage: Battle for Newerth
    Unreal Tournament 2004
    Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (ETPro and TrueCombat:Elite mods)
    Half Life Engine (Counter Strike and other mods)
    Half Life2 Engine (CS : S and other mods)
    Call of Duty (United Offensive mod)
    Battlefield 1942
    Battlefield Vietnam
    Battlefield 2
    Soldier of Fortune II
    America's Army

    wonder if this effects any performance....

    I appreciate the clarification!

    As for your concern, Flumps, you will have to have cPanel/WHM installed to run cPanel GS.

    I am not that pleased with the cpanel one. It doesn't support many of the games I play. Swiftpanel is a pretty amazing game server panel, and is a great linux alternative to TCAdmin.

    Swiftpanel sounds promising from what I've seen so far. CoreCP is another one. It's still in 'beta' stage but if you've been around long enough to know Luke it's probably worth the wait.
