Fucking crap HSPComplete!! So what's the best server control panel?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Tempest · 06-24-2006, 08:04 PM

I really don't like control panels other than for things like rebooting the server, adding mail aliases etc. Part of the problem I suppose is that I don't find them very user friendly. They're typically written by programmers that probably don't even have any websites.

But the one I have on one server is the worst piece of shit I've ever used. Not only is it dog slow, but it fucks up the server configuration. I don't know how many times I've had to go back and re-edit things. Today the fucking thing deleted all my custom rewrite rules when I made a change somewhere else in the config. 10 domains that I didn't realize were fucked up until I checked later.

The software? HSPComplete from SWSoft.com

So thats going to be added to my list of "don't want from a hosting company" whenever I go out to buy some new servers.

So what is the best? Fast (i.e. for editing dozens of domains efficiently) and 99.99% bug free.

learn vi and quit using that shit

yeah yeah yeah... I already know how to use vi and pico. On one server I don't have a control panel and edit the config manually... but this particular host has the control panel.

There are only 2 contenders: directadmin or cpanel.

The rest can wash off the earth in a flood unmissed.

That's it? I've heard of cpanel but not directadmin.. most everyone seems to have plesk (same company as the other crap) or ensim. How hard can it be to write that software?

bash and vi do it all and work like a dream

markell · 06-25-2006, 12:51 AM

cpanel, hands down... that is if you can get it to work right

baddog · 06-25-2006, 01:13 AM

Direct Admin is great

Radiate · 06-25-2006, 07:30 AM

cpanel & direct admin I find good choices
for my own sites I prefer cpanel, more powerful

AAAAAAAAAAAAMen..

And if they're really too lazy to learn vi, they could use pico.

HSP sucks donkey I agree. Doesnt matter how much ram youhahaha180;ve got, the crap is ass slow anyway. Directadmin works best for me. Best of the free CPs are webmin and ispcomplete (although a tad to advanced for me).
