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 Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
