If a control panel is a high priority for you, you can ask tech support to set up one of the many free open source control panels for you, or you can get a license to CPanel or whatever. The reason most hosts offer control panels on all setup is because of the cost savings it allows, by allowing for the customers to manage things themselves, without having to have a 24/7 staff of clued techs. There are some serious performance, security, and reliability reasons to not to run a control panel (you think major sites like playboy.com, bangbus.com, nastydollars use CPanel?) Ultimately, even if you escape any security or reliability reasons in the short term it simply won't scale for large high performance sites. ISPrime has 24/7 tech support, with clued employees. If it were up to me, I'd prefer having intelligent admins watching after my server, not a script designed to lower costs of operations for a host.
