Web Host Reseller Software

A right decision in choosing Web Hosting Control Panel Software helps in saving a lot of time, money, and above all frustration. Different popular web hosting reseller software available today are Alabanza, cPanel, H-Sphere, Plesk.

All of these come with control panels for clients. They all have very many features such as email management system that is much advanced, web statistics, scripts that are pre-installed, language support of not one but many languages etc. All of them can work on platforms provided by Linux, while H-Sphere and Plesk can also work with Windows platforms.

Introduction

Alabanza reseller software does not merely come with a reseller account but it is leased to you with a dedicated server to make your operations simpler. While a basic reseller account comes with cPanel, for resellers it allows better management of their business, and offers two separate programs for two separate purposes. On the other hand, H- Sphere offers a system that is designed for both Linux and Windows platforms and it supports over 20 payment gateways. While on Plesk, all users operate on different levels of control but on same control panel, each level of the control panel gives the user control of that level and the level(s) below it.

Important Features

Alabanza provides resellers with very high degree of automation including Domain System Manager (DSM), which reduces various types of overheads to a significant level and also reduces the time spent on routine and recurring tasks. On the other hand, cPanel is popular for its variety of features and easy to use technology. It has a collection of over fifty scripts that are installed in advanced and Fantastico auto installer which help its clients in setting up their sites with little knowledge of web development. It uses WHM (Web Host Manager) for creation of accounts and packaging systems and suspend sites, modify passwords, view bandwidth usage, park domains, install SSL certificates, and it can also perform other administrative functions. Contrary to the cPanel, The H-Sphere control panel can automatically handle some regular jobs such as configuring the accounts, processing credit card payments and registration of domain, and not to forget notifications of emails. A built-in billing module is also included in it. And last but not the least, Plesk, as its name suggests and its image goes, is obviously known for its stability and security. Simple navigation and clean interface are the features that are liked by the end users and not to forget is its excellent professional appearance.

Distinctive Features

Alabanza has a key feature that can be offered by resellers to their clients. This is the Xpress Product Suite that provides tools for development of website and management of email. This includes SiteXpress, a online site building software, which features over 300 templates and requires virtually no skills for web design. On the other hand, from the reseller’s point of view, cPanel offers a great feature -a drop down menu, which, on reseller’s account takes the reseller to the control panels of each of its different sites, including that of the reseller’s site. With the help of an additional optional program, WHM AutoPilot, account creation and suspension etc can be automated. One of the key features of H-Sphere is its ability to control separate domains with multi-domain hosting. But the problem is that beginning webmasters may find it too hectic and complicated for their needs. However, more advanced and technologically sound users appreciate the features and control that H-Sphere offers to the end user. Special Features of Plesk include its handling of Spam Assassin at the level of mailbox rather than at the level of domain. If a Plesk reseller account is offered with HSPcomplete, then automation facilities such as charges of credit card and notification for email would be available with the account.
