No. Compared to cPanel those are light-weights. Im talking something big and that could really compete with cPanel. I think cpanel is synonomous (sp?) with professional. Those others are not. What cPanel needs is something like a "firefox" to compete with.

cPanel to Web-Cp, VHCS, etc is like comparing Internet Explorer to Netscape 4 or less,

cPanel to a true competitor is like IE to firefox.

^^ The output of cPanel is a web app. But whats behind it (the components) is almost a full OS! :o It has plenty of scripts like upcp and stuff.

You don't understand what I'm talking about. X as in the X Windows Server. There is no reason for it to have a GUI in linux.

You could always ask if they wanted to merge all three projects... I think that if you guys would be able to come up with an OSS alternative to Cpanel, you'd really have a big community behind you.

Your kidding me right?

It doesnt hold a candle to the features in cPanel such as the server config options, account options, update systems, service configuration.

It is not the same, plus it doesnt have the same big brand feel. cPanel feels professional it is what clients want, Web-CP is not professional, does not support the features that cpanel has and has by all means the most repulsive UI ever.

Nope, no joke. I don't think anyone is saying that it's the same - I'm just trying to figure out what features of cPanel people use that web-cp doesn't have. You listed some here but they were pretty vague - would you mind being more specific? Obviously you were specific about the UI already but what exact account options and server config options are you talking about?

Agh, I made the mistake of installing cPanel once, please be warned that IT WILL TAKE OVER your box! Like what was mentioned before, it's like an OS all by itself, and you cannot remove it and be back to where you were before you installed it. I don't have a clue if it'll allow you to run X on the machine it has "infected".

Most comprehensive (corporate support based) panels have to take over much of the box. Its less of a support hassle and makes it easier on the admin, because it works out of the box. For instance, it probably installs its own Apache, email transport agent, FTPd, etc. IT would be a bit more of a hassle to support Apache 1.3.x, 2.x, Sendmail, Qmail, Exim, ProFTPd, vsFTPd, Wu-FTPd, FTPd, etc. and make it a lot more expensive.

They won't allow X to run. It uninstalls it and then keeps it from running. Just because it tries to make my security and application installation choices FOR me I wouldn't ever install it. Not that I would anyway.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
