Linux or Window Server/Host - Page 2

webexplorer · 08-22-2009, 11:21 AM

I looked up some hosting websites, and they have same looking format in the cPanel. I was really surprised about that because I thought that many host owners rather to have their own cPanel design. So far, I know that most of host owners are paying a WebMail service.

I think that it is a very bad idea. I think that the owners should create their own work so that they deserve to make their own money instead of paying a big company like webmail, cPanel, well-known forums, etc.

You just visit some host websites and their demo of the cPanel and maybe webmail.

I discovered that many host services are not telling the truth that they have installed a windpower and a green energy for their host business because they really don't want to spend more money on these stuff. Most servers do not have an Energy-Star. Without an Energy-Star for one basic server would cost approx. $1,500, and with Energy-Star with one server would cost $3,000. That is the problem.

Actually, you can make your own cPanel skins, and if you've got either Reseller or Root access to the cPanel/WHM installation, you could apply the visual template so that cPanel looks more customized to your service.

Well... my systems use cPanel/WHM due to the fact that it is a standardized system and one that is commonly requested. I can use other setups, but they just do not provide the same functionality that cPanel/WHM does.

I do not use webmail. I offer it, but I don't use it.

How ironic you should mention that. All of our servers we use are in ThePlanet's Datacenters, and if I remember correctly, the servers we use are all Wind and Solar-Powered, and we use RECs to offset the ones that aren't powered by wind and/or solar.

We're completely green, in regards to our servers being in ThePlanet's Datacenters in Dallas and Houston.

Not much use for them unless you're using Microsoft Software like Exchange or ASP, etc. I said they're pathetic in the server market because Linux and BSD dominates it.

Most websites are simply LAMP, Linux, Apache, Mysql and PHP.

Precisely. Or MSSQL.

Then there's Cold Fusion and a few other things that are essentially Windows only.

I'd use XAMPP over IIS any day.
