Hello,
We have a hosting server that is running on the Solaris
Sparc 7 platform. We want to be able to allow our users to
set up their own pop3's. I cannot find any software that will allow this. All the decent control panels seem to only be written for Linux. We have already invested alot of $$ in our Sun machine and we want to use it. Does anyone know of any control panel type software that has this feature (and anything more would be a bonus).
Thanks!

Nope
Sloaris is SUN MIcrosystems own Unix Operating System
very stable .. quite nice, until a few years ago it was the "must have" of ISP's and Hosts
then Linux came

Damn, your right. Oh well, it's still compatible with more OS's then any other control panel I know.

Plesk no more...
I should have mentioned this in my thread... I spent a long time on the phone with someone at Plesk and I am told that they are no longer supporting Solaris in any new versions. The guy told me that they did not sell one copy for Solaris in all of 2000. :-(
Thanks though!!

Sphera
I looked at their website. It always worries me when I have to contact a sales rep for pricing. Anyone know how expensive it is? It must be pretty expensive since they don't even hint at it.
Anyone know of anything besides sphera?
Thanks!

Solaris..
Tabernack,
The Smart Hosting Controller does not run on Solaris. We are currently focusing on RedHat and FreeBSD first. Perhaps in 2-3 months we will release a Solaris version.

So no one knows the pricing for Sphera's hosting director, AND no on has seen a demo of it??? So how do we know if it's any good or even affordable?

We've been on the scout for a control panel that will work on Solaris too since we saw the nice server that Sun are now doing.

well
We run multiple Solaris boxes in work. This is a corporate enviroment so control panels aren't really a priority. Anyways we for legal reasons moved from APACHE to Netscape Iplanet Websrver- which has an adequate control panel as default.

porting...
Are there any panels that provide source so we could try
porting? It may not be that hard... but I hate to spend a ton on money on software and then have to port it :-)

Sphera pricing
I called Sphera. It costs $400 per server with a minimum of 5 servers. They do not have a online demo. They will set up a 1 hr block of time to show you a demo via netmeeting. You cannot upgrade a current machine either, they say you need to setup a new machine and migrate all users to it.
Also you HAVE to purchase support which is an extra 10%/mo.

IWAS
I was considering looking into sphera as a potential canidate for a future product we would offer. but the fact that their sales form does nto work properly and they do not return calls and they dont even offer a online demo, make me not want to ever do business with them.

cpanel on solaris
Cpanel would have easily been ported to solaris (it could still be done in 2-4 days), but I simply can't justify shelling out for sun hardware without seeing a market for it.
