Hosting Control Panel. Which one?
Which hosting control panel would you suggest? I'm looking into HostingController and HELM at the moment. What do you guys suggest?
Thanks.

Thanks.

I use HC - it has the most bang for the buck. If Helm had an automated billing system I would probably use that. On the other hand HC is standalone and can control only one IIS server at a time - you will need to install on every web server. Helm is distributable. Both are very affordable compared to other windows solutions.
Helm is very good and has billing and automated sign ups (and works with MailEnable too).
If you have any specific questions about Helm of would like a demo, send me an e-mail to Jim[at]AlertServ.com.

Not yet, sadly. Helm will have that functionality at some point, though. Most likely will not be until the next major release. Your best bet would be to contact the support guys over at http://webhostautomation.com

Helm can do that. Helm can do single/stand alone servers or can work is a distributed environment where websites are on one server and SQL is on another and ME is on its own server.sunpost wrote:can HELM control ME installed on a remote server yet

Unless I am mistaken, ME hasn't released their remote API yet.
As far as everything else, yes, helm lets you distribute any service to any server and will control it.

Well, I stand corrected. The only distributed configuration I did used another mail server product.

That is correct, which works fairly well for the most part, however some other issues crop up as helm servers currently need to be able to communicate with each other via the \\unc path. Helm has said it plans to release a program that will run on each server so all of the processing will be done on each local server, therefore eliminating the need for a remote api.
So it is on its way, we just don't know how long exactly.
