cPanelCon09: Enkompass

cPanel takes a hit and makes it a winner…

cPanel enKompass - Better than VaporWare

Many have felt that cPanel’s promise of a Windows solution was nothing more than vaporware… however with their demo earlier this year @ HostingCon – and the various reviews at this years cPanel Con – the Hostmedic Agency feels this will be a large player – if not the dominator in the Shared Hosting platform for Windows.

To date however, the licensing program has yet to be figured out – however cPanel insiders stated that in order for the system to pay off the investment involved with trashing the first version and going for an entire rewrite of the code-base (thus producing a quality product which should make the competition scared) they must charge per domain.

cPanel, has been known as the leader in hosting control panel software and automation solutions for some time in the Linux market – and their enKompass platform for Windows 2008 is no different.   The easy to use interface mirrors the usability factors of their Linux WHM and cPanel solutions – however unlike the current linux solution – it will allow multiple servers.

cPanel however admits, with their first release some usability options such as DNS Clustering with their Linux Bind product does not exist.
