Ability to create "demo" account?

[omgwtfbbqhax]

I wasn't sure on this, so I figured I'd open this up =]

Would it be possible to either have a option where we can setup demo accounts (the same as cPanel) to access a 'demo' feature on cPGS frontend (so people can take a look at it as a demo, and make up their mind).

This would be a nice feature for me, and I'm sure it would come in handy for other people as well.

Any chance this could be introduced in a new patch or if it's already introduced a quick run down on how to set it up?

If you had the space, you could install, say, a TS and HL2 server on the cPanel demo account and give them a max user setting of just 1. That way it'd show up in the demo cPanel, allowing the potential customer to see how the servers are controlled, and even connect to verify its existence if they had the means. In theory it should work, I haven't ran a demo account for...three years or so now (remember it being the cause of security issues/concerns way back when, don't know if it's changed or not).

Might be easier to create a page using the screenshots.

The only downsider with that, is it creates extra resources on a running box, if there was a way to just make it think there was a server running (without using all the resources) I'd definitely consider it

Hmm.. well there is no support built in yet for demo mode on an account; I'll have to think about how I might go about it. The stats for the running server would have to be faked, as well as the installer, and stop/start, and the config saving.. Basically there wouldn't be much to look at or click on since everything would be disabled or useless without faking some information. I'll need to think about how I might do this and not make it just a big static html screenshot :P
