I have to say that I am biased on this one but love CPanel.

I know a lot of people talk about it being unstable but we have never had an issue with it and prefer it over the likes of Plesk or Helm (which I hate beyong belief )

I like interworx, i think it looks great. Uses smarty templayes so is easy to make custom themes for and provides some great system graphs

on SWSoft's raster, the only thing that comes close to H-Sphere (expecially if you do high end load balancing) is PEM, and the cost is prohibitive, and it's still not a "mature" application.

ho, yes my vote is H-Sphere .. (other ?)

You do surprise me

My vote still goes for HSphere, it's not perfect, but it's a lot more "complete" than almost all others, even more so in its price point.

We use Ensim.

Cant beat it for security in a shared hosting environment, which is key for us.

Cpanel, it is user friendly and has more features making it more functional. It is more pleasing to the eye and more customisable.

Karl

I wouldn't say it was any more customisable than others out there, can't speak for Plesk and Ensim, but CP+ and HSphere can be customised as much as CPanel can. Can't also think of any important features that HSphere is missing in relation to CPanel, I can think of important ones that HSphere (and Helm) have that CPanel doesn't though.

To be fair, CPanel does have a few nice time savers, such as EasyApache, but that shouldn't be an issue for most hosts anyway, I know we have our own scripts to build Apache to our custom spec.

Cpanel is ok as long as you keep it on stable manual update release it has its fair share of bugs and does a control panel really need 3 webmail clients, 2 FTP daemons, numerous web stats, 2 mailbox structures.....

I am looking into hsphere for a future platform. How many domains are people hosting on it currently?

hosting365

We're happily running over 50,000 domains on a hsphere cluster. It's the best out the for high volume hosting, short of rolling your own.

Also what's everybodies favourite Billing/Automation System, ie, Modern bill, Client Exec etc.


Many thanks in advance for some discussion.

I find cPanel to slow and only works when or when not it wants to.

domtaylor

How on Earth can a control panel be slow o.O It uses lots of graphics in the default skin but a skin is only a skin

From my experience of DA it simply can't match the power and flexibility of cPanel. I just had a look at the demo admin panel and it seemed there wasn't much there :s

I'm a convert to (ugly, powerful) cPanel from simple Plesk 6/7, but I also bought a Mac because they're pretty, so feel free to ignore this post

It can't match what power of cPanel? Sinse when did it have any power? let alone work, flexibility of cPanel - I do not know what to say about this

You like cPanel, I hate it, different views I guess, Its like you either hate it or love it!
