Cpanel
I keep hearing about Cpanel, is it as good as Plesk? Also I am thinking since it is so popular, to preinstall into my dedicated Linux servers. But who can I approach for buk licenses? Also the licenses seem very complicated. Any summary?

cPanel is the most rapidly developing control panel. Combined with Fantastico it has no second. Customers are falling dead about it.

Utter bunkum originally spouted by Imago ...
*cPanel is the most rapidly developing control panel
hardly the most rapidly developing solution ...
More total tripe blurted out by Imago ...
*Customers are falling dead about it.
In short, it's a nice control panel, check out it's functionality before you decide to use it, make your choice based on whether it offers the features you require, at a price you're prepared to payRob Golding Astutium Ltd - UK based ICANN Accredited Domain Registrar - proud to accept BitCoins

Contact cPanel for NOC partnership, I have heard you would need to get 200 license in bulk in order to get $9.95/license.
But please don't quote me on that, contact cPanel for that.

BTW, PHP-Nuke is also a one-man project, and yet the most popular CSM.
I've never heard of it *killing* a client before...
It almost did, after the last exploit.

>We are talking about development, not about diversification.
no, we're talking of the *published* development plan, several of which are now *YEARS* late
>most active customerbase and user community.
hacks and patches - not developments - there is a *HUGE* difference.
>It almost did, after the last exploit.
Now that woudl have made the news
Anyway, we'll agree to differ - you obv. love it , I see it as a pretty menu front end to some comiled perl scripts, most of which I'd prefer to do the old-fashioned/controlled manner from an SSH prompt ... as I said *clients* like it - which is what matters for a CP in the end I suppose ...Rob Golding Astutium Ltd - UK based ICANN Accredited Domain Registrar - proud to accept BitCoins

Well, cPanel is nice and all, especially for newbies, but it isn't really that secure or stable. If you register and take a look at the cPanel Forums, you'll see what I'm talking about.
The only reason it as so many updates is to fix some of the bugs it released.
cPanel: Unstable, but more widely supported with more features(not all are useful), can be a bit costly.
Plesk: Stable, nice amount of useful features, cheaper then cPanel.
But anyway, cPanel seems to sell better then anyother control panel. So when you go with cPanel, be prepared for bugs & exploits.Last edited by cloudrck; 04-18-2004 at 05:27 PM.

Do you mean rapid because of all of the bug fixes that come out for it, forcing them to release a new version?
I do not expect it to have the functionality of H-Sphere, but who knows, hosting automation and virtualization being the keywords, we may wake up some day and find cPanel to present the complete server management and hosting solution while offering tmp patches.

I would agree cpanel seems to be more for newbies, alot of people are relying on it do sysadmin tasks, and it only seems to be fully developed for a EOL OS.

Plesk is by far more secure then cpanel. majority of servers hacked are cpanel boxes then other panels

But, it's also that fact that cPanel has more holes in it.

Let's not forget that, in the final analysis, control panels are for the account holding end-users, not for the server admin geeks.

Yes I agree I had to deal with a cpanel exploit earlier today. Could have been easily prevented if I was working just a little harder. Still cpanel should be fixing the current bugs instead of stacking new features.
