Good afternoon Folks,
Cpanel has a MASSIVE client base.. there are more than enough of us that are interested in doing it to make it worth while.
In fact, I'd be willing to pay 10% or 15% extra for the "clustered version" if Cpanel was to build it as an add-on or specific version. The end result of redundancy and failover is what is most important.
If Cpanel is not willing to do it, we need to find someone that has the ability to do it and collectively sign "letters of intent" to buy the "road-map" or "directions" on how to do it so that the people who develope it know there are real people out there willing to buy it.
I think the important thing to do is to stand back and say "in order to do this we have to do this and this and this and this" and layout the steps, see how it has to happen and build it, everyone that I have spoken with seems to want to say "it can't be done because of this" collectively its time to build a solution to the problem rather than looking at it from the list of "why it can't be done"...
Cpanel is a wonderful product, and has grown up in leaps and bounds as a tool and standard in the hosting world... to ignore the importance of failover and clusters would be limmiting the future growth and expansion as many of us have more than 1 cpanel server and are looking for real world commercial reliability.
From the standpoint of building a truely competitive and reliable hosting company this is the only thing Cpanel is missing... These are just my opinions...
