[ReliaSpace]

Hi!

well, i have windows server 2008 R2 on my servers... and i want to buy a game panel..

so, i saw that the only ones that support Windows are GameCP and TCadmin...

Which one should i buy? Game CP is about 70 dollars less than TCadmin, and GameCP seems to have a "nicer" interface... but TCadmin seems more professional.

so, what should i do?


thanks in advance

They are both great Panels, However i would go with TCAdmin over GameCP, But if you simply don't have the budget for it you can go with GameCP instead, Either way you will come out with a good panel.

Thanks!

and what about stability and CPU consuption?

because i have been using a trial of IGC-Panel 2.61 and it was VEEEERY unstable (server crashes all time, and i couldnt set up more than 5 servers per ip O_o)

[123Andrew]

IGC-Panel is still in Beta i believe which is why you are having a lot of problems with them (Not entirely sure if they are beta or not)


I've had experience with TCA but not with GameCP (Just heard good stuff), TCA is very stable and does not consume a lot of resources so your best bet is to go with TCA if your looking for stability, I'm not entirely sure about GameCP however they appear to be stable so they would be a great choice as well.

TCAdmin - the stability is great and the updates are consistent. Also, it is very user friendly.

i have a question:

if i buy TCA, i have to buy 1 master license and 1 remote license for my server? or just with 1 master / remote license its ok?

1 master license is all you need.

There's barely a difference in price between the two.

TCADMIN is the best game control panel product available right now.

It would depend if he was wanting to go monthly or Purchase a license, at the time i did not know which one he was going for (I assumed purchased), Then there would be a price different between GCP and TCA

i would say go with tcadmin to be honest, if your still not sure you can only ask them both to give you a trial , i have done this afew times in the years that i have been doing gaming support, just have a chat with them about what your needs are, i have tcadmin give free trials out, to clans and gsp hosting, for 21days, and support is great,

Tcadmin most definetly, i have used them, they update regularly, support answers instantly. Good community. Much customizable in css and design. And it runs flawlessly. Virtually itself.

TCAdmin is more known and most clients of yours will therefor find it easier to use. GameCP howver is more cheaper

GameCP is updated quite frequently.

does anyone know how "popular" GameCP is as opposed to TCAdmin? I know in the GSP community everyone knows what TCAdmin is, do a lot of people know about GameCP and do they have a decent amount of customers? TCA is used by many GSPs, if I ever were to use a panel I would want to try something other than TCA
